What is causing this invalid date error?

Solution 1
The parameters you are getting is
{"commit"=>"Create",
"utf8"=>"\342\234\223",
"authenticity_token"=>"RKYZNmRaElg/hT5tlmLcqnstnOapdhiaWmDcjNDtSOI=",
"action"=>"create",
"note"=>
{"name"=>"note1",
"detail"=>"detail"},
"controller"=>"notes",
"custom_date"=>"03-03-2010"}
Hence we can clearly make out
its not params[:custom_date]
but it is params['custom_date']
UPDATE
Date.strptime method follows a particular pattern.For instance
str = "01-12-2010" #DD-MM-YYYY
then use
Date.strptime(str,"%d-%m-%Y")
but if
str = "2010-12-01" #YYYY-MM-DD
then use
Date.strptime(str,"%Y-%m-%d")
Solution 2
Use to_date
method to format params[:custom_date]
@note.date = (Date.strptime(params[:custom_date], '%d-%m-%Y')).to_date unless params[:custom_date].blank?
Thanks

On this line of code:
@note.date = Date.strptime(params[:custom_date], '%d-%m-%Y') unless params[:custom_date].blank?
I get this error:
ArgumentError: invalid date /usr/ruby1.9.2/lib/ruby/1.9.1/date.rb:1022
Here are the parameters:
{ "commit" => "Create", "utf8" => "\342\234\223", "authenticity_token" => "RKYZNmRaElg/hT5tlmLcqnstnOapdhiaWmDcjNDtSOI=", "action" => "create", "note" => { "name"=>"note1", "detail"=>"detail" }, "controller" => "notes", "custom_date" => "03-03-2010" }
What is causing this error? Thanks for reading.

PJP over 13 yearsAdding
to_date
is redundant.Date.strptime(...)
already returns a Date object.
