Ruby 2.2.2 - Time zone reference

Question

I just upgraded to Ruby v 2.2.2.

Now, when I start my console, I get this error:

.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.2/gems/activesupport-4.0.2/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb:282: warning: circular argument reference - now
Loading development environment (Rails 4.0.2)

I don't know what it means or how to fix it. I don't have a file called time_zone.rb in my application, so I assume its something that is incorporated by reference.

Does anyone know what to do to resolve this?

Hi Jordan - I don't think this is the same problem. I don't know what compass is and I don't use it, and I'm trying to work on Ruby 2.2.2. not 2.2.0 — Mel, Aug 31 '15 at 06:35

I see that you are using Rails in your project. You just need to upgrade your Rails version to 4.1.9.

This issue was fixed in these commits:

You can upgrade the Rails version in your Gemfile or Gemfile.lock files.

Gemfile

gem "rails", "4.1.9"

Gemfile.lock

rails (4.1.9)

Be sure to run bundle after you make these changes!

Not a chance, buddy! Rails dropped the ActiveRecord::Base.silence method after 4.0.0. How do I shut this thing up? – boulder_ruby May 05 '16 at 17:30
For what it's worth, updating rails from `3.2.21` to `3.2.22.5` got rid of this warning for me. – Nate Cook Mar 02 '19 at 18:09
