datetime - How to add 10 days to current time in Rails

Question

I tried doing something like

Time.now + 5.days

but that doesn't work, even though I vaguely remember seeing, and being very impressed, with being able to do something like 2.years etc.

How do I do that in Rails 3?

Answer 1

Use

Time.now + 10.days

or even

10.days.from_now

Both definitely work. Are you sure you're in Rails and not just Ruby?

If you definitely are in Rails, where are you trying to run this from? Note that Active Support has to be loaded.
