Rails model: saving works locally but not on Heroku

I have a Rails model for a Recipe. It has an attribute, views, which counts how many times it has been viewed.

In the show action of my controller, I fetch the model object normally:

@recipe = Recipe.find(params[:id])

Then I increase the view count and save:

@recipe.views = @recipe.views + 1
@recipe.save

This works without a hitch locally, but on Heroku, the save apparently doesn't happen. No errors are thrown.

I can run this exact same code in the rails console on Heroku, and then it works.

The only way I can get it to work, is setting

config.cache_classes = false

in environmenst/production.rb

This is obvously not what I want, but I'm stumped about how to go from here.

I'm running Rails 3.2.8, Ruby 1.9.3 on the Cedar stack, using Postgresql 9.1 in both development and on production.

FWIW to future searchers looking for their own solution, Benjamin Tan's answer (in comments) of heroku restart was what worked for me when I had a similar problem.

Copying the answer from the edited question body in order to remove this question from the "Unanswered" filter:

UPDATE: Fixed

Turns out I had a file with another older definition of the controller in the app/controllers directory.
