Simple test case: require 'rubygems' require 'active_support' puts 5.years.ago puts 40.years.ago
It seems to be an issue on windows, as the linux version of the test below works just fine, but windows will crash with an ArgumentError: time must be positive.
Does anyone have a solution/workaround so that I can create database queries that search for users older than 35 on my windows test box?
Thank you.

The 'ruby-units' gem can handle datetime math like this and will automagically convert to a DateTime from a Time when necessary.
Using ruby-units, you would use
'40 years'.ago
