Simple_form: I18n "translation missing for en.date.order"

[noozo]

Hi, i think i might have stumbled upon a bug.

I have the following field declaration on a simple_form:
<%= f.input :start_date %>

My application is internationalized and i'm getting the following error in that line while rendering the template:
undefined method `-' for "translation missing: en.date.order":String

The last lines of the stack trace are the following:

actionpack (3.1.0) lib/action_view/helpers/date_helper.rb:651:in select_datetime' actionpack (3.1.0) lib/action_view/helpers/date_helper.rb:979:into_datetime_select_tag'

Can you guys give me a hand in figuring out what might be wrong? :) Thanks a lot

I don't know if this bug is a SimpleForm fault. Could you try to use the datetime_select helper from Rails and see if your code works?

[josevalim]

It is not a SimpleForm bug. This is a Rails bug and is happening because you don't have en.date.order defined in your YAML files.

Sorry about that ... actually i was stupidly overriding the "date" key in my translation file :)

It's a bit outdated but i had the same problem and i've found a solution. Maybe someone who will be googling for this error will find this thread. Here is my solution:

I was using custom locale file (pl.yml in my case) and all i needed to do was to add those lines in it:

pl:
  (...)
  date:
    order:
      - :day
      - :month
      - :year
  (...)

Good luck !

You can try to use

gem 'rails-i18n'

In your Gemfile

@dix-icomys This work for me

[illuminatic]

the best and easier way was the gem 'rails-i18n'

[amuntasim]

passing an option like order: [:year] will resolve this issue if you don't want to put in locale file

[matisnape]

@dix-icomys it worked :dancers:

[ahmadajmi]

@dix-icomys 👍

@mbajur - thank you (although you are promoting the incorrect order for ":pl" :-)

I had also problem with 'month' drop-down control. It was showing some text not months numbers or names and fix in my case for Bosnian bs_BA localization was:

  date:
    order: [ !ruby/symbol day, !ruby/symbol month, !ruby/symbol year ]
    formats:
      default: "%Y-%m-%d"
      short: "%b %d"
      long: "%B %d, %Y"
    day_names: [Ponedjeljak, Utorak, Srijeda, Cetvrtak, Petak, Subota, Nedjelja]
    #abbr_day_names: [P, U, S, C, Pt, S, N]
    month_names: [~, Januar, Februar, Mart, April, Maj, Juni, Juli, August, Septembar, Oktobar, Novembar, Decembar]
    #abbr_month_names: [~, Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, Maj, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Okt, Nov, Dec]
