updated_on broken

Hi,

I just noticed that updated_on is not working anymore on any of my models. I don't know what happened :frowning: . Hower, when I create a new record, created_on is still working.

Any ideas what could be the cause?

Did you just update to Rails 2.1? Only changed attributes are written on save. If no attributes are changed, then nothing is written to the database, not even updated_on/updated_at. Of course, setting updated_at = Time.now will force a change (not sure what the equivalent is for updated_on).

Hey Jeffrey,

I did indeed update to rails 2.1 recently ... It really makes sense because I was probably updating associated models. Forcing updated_on = Time.now fixed the problem.

Thanks Jeffrey
