Set default value to NOW in the migration doesn't work

See original GitHub issue

I have created a migration file:

'use strict';

module.exports = {
  up: function(queryInterface, Sequelize) {
    return queryInterface.createTable('products', {
      id: {
        type: Sequelize.STRING,
        primaryKey: true
      },
      name: {
        type: Sequelize.STRING,
        allowNull: false
      },
      ean: {
        type: Sequelize.STRING,
        allowNull: false
      },
      categoryName: {
        type: Sequelize.STRING,
        allowNull: false,
        field: 'category_name'
      },
      price: {
        type: Sequelize.STRING,
      },
      photo: {
        type: Sequelize.STRING,
      },
      fullUrl: {
        type: Sequelize.STRING,
        field: 'full_url'
      },
      createdAt: {
        type: Sequelize.DATE,
        defaultValue: Sequelize.NOW,
        allowNull: false,
        field: 'created_at'
      },
      updatedAt: {
        type: Sequelize.DATE,
        defaultValue: Sequelize.NOW,
        allowNull: false,
        field: 'updated_at'
      }
    }).then(function() {
      return queryInterface.addIndex('products', ['ean']);
    });
  },

  down: function(queryInterface, Sequelize) {
    return queryInterface.dropTable('products');
  }
};

the database I’m using is postgressql. when I create the table in this value no default value is set for the column createdAt and updatedAt. is it a bug?
