"Invalid input syntax for type timestamp with time zone" on insert/update, postgreSQL

I’m unable to use the hasTimestamps successfully and not sure why. I’m also using Bookshelf, but I think the problem is at the knex level.

From my initial migration script:

exports.up = function(knex, Promise) {
  return Promise.all(
    [ knex.schema.createTable('whatevers', function (table) {
        table.uuid('id').primary();
        // snip
        table.timestamps();
      })
    ]
  );
};

From my bookshelf.js model definition:

WhateverModel =
{ tableName: 'whatevers'
, hasTimestamps: true
, defaults: function () {
    var d =
        { id: uuid.v1()
        }
    ;

    return d;
  }
};

The error I get on Insert or Update is:

error { [error: invalid input syntax for type timestamp with time zone: "{}"]
  name: 'error',
  length: 119,
  severity: 'ERROR',
  code: '22007',
  detail: undefined,
  hint: undefined,
  position: undefined,
  internalPosition: undefined,
  internalQuery: undefined,
  where: undefined,
  file: 'datetime.c',
  line: '3567',
  routine: 'DateTimeParseError' }

Yes, looks like a bad library choice on my part. ‘snakeize’ was turning my Date objects into bare objects in my model’s format() function.

@brunolm No clue what I ended up doing. This was three jobs ago! My guess is that I monkey-patched things and kept moving. (I recall this app growing an appendix of monkey-patches, as we locked down dependencies pretty early in development. Relying on npm and accurate semver was a lot sketchier in 2014.
