[ruby-core:83052] [Ruby trunk Bug#13947] Incorreсt string parsing in Date.parse

Issue #13947 has been updated by shevegen (Robert A. Heiler).


On my system ruby 2.4.2p198 (2017-09-14 revision 59899) [x86_64-linux] I get:


    Date.parse('Some random string')
    # ArgumentError: invalid date

    Date.parse('Repellendus Sint sunt quae molestiae dolor illo inventore ea')
    # => #<Date: 2017-09-24 ((2458021j,0s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>

So I assume that the first has changed. I have no idea why the latter works
though - I agree. That is weird, unless it is some hidden time info ... but
to my untrained eyes, it looks like an inconsistency. :D

Given that the behaviour between 2.3.3 and 2.4.x is different in the first
case, I assume that this was not deliberate, so, yep probably a bug.

----------------------------------------
There is no exception when parsing random lorem ipsum string to date. But if parse any another string everithing works smoothly.
The income string is - "Repellendus Sint sunt quae molestiae dolor illo inventore ea"

**UPD:**
It reacts on "sun" in that string
