Rails undefined method `strftime' for "2013-03-06":String
ruby, ruby-on-rails, ruby-on-rails-3, strftime
Solution
It looks like your duedate is a string, when strftime is a method for Time/Date class. You can try this:
Date.parse(task.duedate).strftime("%B %e, %Y")
Problem
I am getting the error undefined method `strftime' for "2013-03-06":String when trying to display a date normally (June Sunday 3, 2013 or something similar) from the string 2013-03-06 using strftime. The line that does this in my index.html.erb and looks like this `<td><%= task.duedate.strftime("%B %e, %Y") %></td>` I am just learning Rails so I am sure it is just a stupid beginners error, any help would be appreciated. Thank you
