For some reason this seems to have stopped working for me. I did an edit on a users email but made a mistake with the name. Now every time I run :UserEmail.find\_by(email: “[oid@example.com](mailto:oid@example.com)”).update(email: “[new@example.com](mailto:new@example.com)”)  
I get: NoMethodError: undefined method `update’ for nil:NilClass  
Has something changed?
