Set default time value

[Elias]

Hi,

since I need to set an updated_at key manually I cant use timestamps.

So I set up the model this way

key :updated_at, Time, :default => Time.new
key :created_at, Time, :default => Time.new

Unfortunately the time value doesn't get taken from the time of saving
but from the time of launching the application which is always the
same.

Is there another way to set default timestamps?

Try:

key :updated_at, Time, :default => lambda { Time.new }
key :created_at, Time, :default => lambda { Time.new }

lambda is your friend:

key :updated_at, Time, :default => lambda { || Time.new }
