Do require 'date' sometime before calling Neo4j.

[cheerfulstoic]

Probably we need to require 'date' in the gem, but definitely do it in your project @tymat to see if that fixes things first

[gareth]

Having had the same issue, I can confirm that requiring 'date' before 'neo4j' resolves the problem

[cheerfulstoic]

Awesome, thanks! I just released 5.0.9. Please reopen if that doesn't fix the problem.
