Time stamp won’t show in my contacts database

I am doing an online course , and I am trying to design a website with a user database . I have built a ” Contact Us” page with a form/table . I cannot make the timestamps show in the rails console $ Contact.all

this is my Schema.rb :

ActiveRecord::Schema.define(version: 20190518115940) do

  create_table "contacts", force: :cascade do |t|
    t.string "name"
    t.string "email"
    t.text   "comments"
  end
end

And this is the crate_contacts.rb file :

class CreateContacts < ActiveRecord::Migration[5.0]
  def change
    create_table :contacts do |t|
      t.string :name
      t.string :email
      t.text :comments

      t.timestamps
    end
  end
end

Answer

Your schema.rb knows nothing about timestamps. Did you created the table without timestamps and then you added it to the migration?

If so, you can rerun the migration (assuming it is the last one) with the command rails db:migrate:redo, but all the data in that table will be wiped.

Refer to this guide for further options.
