Hi, did you figure out what causes this issue ?

Thanks

Check your db/schema.rb and grep for {:null=>false}_updated_at. You might be using a null: false option in your migration on something that doesn’t support it, like a Paperclip attachment column.

This helped me, I was using null: false for a Paperclip attachment column.

Thanks.

thx too!
