Rails NoMethodError (undefined method `something ' for Time:Class): not so trivial error

Question

class Email < ActiveRecord::Base
  # some code
  after_create :send_verification_email

  def send_verification_email
    puts 'edit 1', Time.now # it prints the actual date
    user_is_new = Time.now - user.created_at < 30 # This line pops an error
    unless verified || user_is_new # less than 30 seconds
      #some other code

I get an error at user_is_new=...

NoMethodError (undefined method `now ' for Time:Class):

WHY this error pops?

I have already test in rails console and works fine, but in a request crash

---

Solution

Remove (replace) the (non-ascii?)space near the minus

user_is_new = Time.now-user.created_at < 30

Answer 1

NoMethodError (undefined method `now ' for Time:Class):

It says now not now or as in any other case, where the method can't be found. Try deleting the space right after the now method name.
