Distance_of_time_in_words shows {{count}} days instead of showing actual days

Rails
1

I have following code in view

<% if @next_topic %>
Time to show next topic <%= distance_of_time_in_words(Time.now.utc,
@next_topic.time_to_show.utc) %>

<% end %>

Output:

Time to show next topic {{count}} days

time_to_show has following value

Mon, 20 Dec 2010 12:38:00 UTC +00:00

@next_topic comes from database. I am using SQLITE.

I am using Rails 2.3.8

I am using default settings for rest.

I have tried many things but failed.

Thanks
Amit

Are you using internationalisation? If so then it could be an issue
there.

From way back, I’m still having this problem. With rails 2.3.5 and ruby
1.8.7.

The problem does NOT appear in ruby 1.8.6, only 1.8.7.

It may be fixed in future versions of Rails, but future 2.3.x have OTHER
bugs I don’t want, and I don’t have time to do the complete upgrade to
3.x yet.

Very annoying! If anyone sees this and has any more info on it, please
do let me know. Otherwise maybe I’ll just have to downgrade to 1.8.6
again. I upped to 1.8.7 because I had been reading people berating those
who had stuck at 1.8.6 instead of at least staying current in 1.8.x –
but this is not the only bug or weird thing I’ve run into with Rails 2.x
and 1.8.7 so far.

I didn’t think Rails 2.3 was compatible with Ruby 1.8.6.

2.3.10 fixes all bugs and security holes AFAIK – and there are
security holes, so you really should give it a try.

I found the differences between 2.3.5 and 2.3.10 fairly minor, but my
apps are all pretty small. Mostly it had to do with versions of
various gems, and in my case the drive toward .10 was encouraged by
new features I needed in a gem (vestal_versions), and the newer
version of that gem only working under 1.8.7, which in turn drove me
to 2.3.8, and then to 2.3.10 when all the foofaw about security raised
its ugly head.
