updatedAt not updating on save

See original GitHub issue

In 3.5, when I alter instance.name = 'Bob' and call instance.save(), the updatedAt is no longer updating. Is this the expected behaviour as this operation was previously working on 3.4

@gcatto instance.changed('updatedAt', true) will mark the updatedAt column as dirty so it will be updated

Sorry for thread necromancy, but just incase someone else is coming across this issue…

Sequelize (before version 3.5.0) would trigger a change on the updatedAt field regardless of what data was changed. So if we set model.nonExistantField = 'lol'; then model.save(), this would change the model.updatedAt but cause no actual update to the database.

Since 3.5.0, setting a field on the model that doesn’t exist will not trigger a change to the model.updatedAt.

This is the issue OP was having, he is a colleague.
