Why does django-lint tell me the `auto_now_add` is deprecated?

Question

Hi fellow Djangonauts:

I checked my project with django-lint, and it yields:

W:211,16:MyModel: timestamp: Uses superceded auto_now or auto_now_add
         


        

Answer 1

The correct fix is to pass a callable as the field's default that returns the appropriate datetime, e.g. datetime.datetime.now.
