t.datetime objects from MySQL dumping out as !ruby/object:Mysql::Time {}

[jrosengren]

At some point recently, t.datetime schema objects in our production MySQL DB started dumping out as:

!ruby/object:Mysql::Time {}

I've poked at it a bit, but I can't figure out which of the recently upgraded components is causing the issue. We're using the following relevant gems:

Gems included by the bundle:

• actionmailer (3.1.3)
• actionpack (3.1.3)
• activemodel (3.1.3)

I've done some searching, but haven't found anybody else reporting a similar problem, so hopefully we're just doing something dumb that's easy to fix.

Thanks!

I was able to resolve this issue by switching over to the mysql2 gem.
