The ActiveSupport Date#freeze monkey-patch tries to call Date's metaprogrammed memoization logic every time you call Date#freeze. As a result, you can't do this:
> Date.today.freeze.freeze TypeError: can't modify frozen object from rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/date/freeze.rb:22:in
instance_variable_set'from rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/date/freeze.rb:22:in
freeze' from rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/date/freeze.rb:20:in
each'from rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/date/freeze.rb:20:in
freeze' from (irb):2
The fix is simple; check to see if we've already frozen the object and don't run the memoization logic twice. Patch and unit test are attached.
