Invalid date format specification in gemspec

Question

I am getting the following error when I try to use gems in windows, and I also referred to this stackoverflow post and updated rubygems and rails. But nothing could solve t

Answer 1

Invalid gemspec in [/var/lib/gems/1.8/specifications/chronic-0.6.4.gemspec]: invalid date format in specification: "2011-09-09 00:00:00.000000000Z"

The simple fix to such kind of problem is to navigate to the file.. for eg.

Step 1. cd /var/lib/gems/1.8/specifications
step 2. open the file(chronic-0.6.4.gemspec) in editor of ur choice... (gedit chronic-0.6.4.gemspec)
step 3. change the s.date = %q{2011-10-13 00:00:00.000000000Z} to s.date = %q{2011-10-13}

Cheers :)
