RoR, Can't iterate from DateTime/TimeWithZone

datetime, ruby, ruby-on-rails, seeding

Solution

start = someModel.start_date.to_datetime
finish = someModel.end_date.to_datetime
while(start < finish) do
  #bunch of awesome stuff
  start += 1.day
end

Problem

I have a simple task where I want to take a starting date and an ending date and loop over the days/dates. This code is being used in my db:seed rake task. Currently, my code has gone through the following attempts. ``` (someModel.start_date.to_datetime..someModel.end_date.to_datetime).each { |x| puts x } ...... (someModel.start_date...someModel.end_date).each { |x| puts x } ``` In each case, I get an error like this. ``` can't iterate from ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone or can't iterate from DateTime ``` If anyone has any clue on how to iterate over a range of DateTimes I'd be greatly appreciative.
