Rails gem invalid date problem

Question

When I want to update Rails Gem I've faced this problem

Invalid gemspec in [/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/specifications/cucumber-1.0.6.gemspec]: invalid date format in specification: "2011-09-13 00:00:00.000000000Z"

Why does this problem occur? and How should I fix it?

Thanks

This looks like a bug with rubygems. You can see the commit that fixed it .

Try updating your rubygems install. On a related note, other Cucumber users have had similar issues , but someone reports a fix .

In essence:

1. Update rubygems.
2. Manually remove Cucumber gemspec and gem folder
3. Update bundler
4. Reinstall Cucumber
5. Try update Rails gem
