Question

I could use a little help trouble shooting this problem.

When using the app to create a new record nothing is being saved to the database.
There are no visible errors presented.

Dropping to the command line, and using the console with the same production environment, I can create a new object and save it (I have to bypass validations). If I look in mysql database I can see the record that I created from the console.

App works fine locally.

Any thoughts on what might be the problem?

Sounds like a validation error.

In your controller, try using save! (with the bang) to see if will throw a meaningful error.

I am not sure what code you have in the controller, but this might help show the problem

if my_object.save
  log.debug 'object saved correctly'
else
  log.debug my_object.errors.full_messages
end

Good luck, if this doesn’t help. Try posting the relevant controller and model code.
