STI derived class needs self.record_timestamps = true

#1949

i am using 2.1.2 for now and i needed to add self.record_timestamps = true to the derived class.

The statement base.record_timestamps = true within ActiveRecord::Timestamp seems to be visible within the base class only.

class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base

STI Base Model class with timestamns

end

class Bar < Foo

STI Derived class

self.record_timestamps = true # will not work without this end

If this is a wontfix or it is fixed already excuse the noise..

    Paul,

    I was facing a similar problem which you described above with my STI derived classes from a particular base class and so I stumbled upon this ticket. Although, timestamps in STI derived classes from a different base class were working fine.

    So upon further investigation I found out that this was due to the AASM plugin. Removing it everything worked fine. Later I found the following probable patch for the issue with AASM.

    http://github.com/rubyist/aasm/c...

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers!

    Great Akshay!

    yes - i am using aasm too. Although i stopped using STI for now within this project (in fact a solution with a simple flag was sufficient) i appreciate your input very much and i am prepared now to give it a second try :)

    Best paul
