Raycast 2d is not working at all

I'm new to Unity and blocked 2nd day with a simple try to raycast. This is the script which I use to raycast:

 void Update () {
     Debug.DrawLine(transform.position, transform.position + transform.right);
     RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.Raycast(transform.position, transform.position + transform.right, Mathf.Infinity);
     if(hit.collider != null)
     {
         Debug.Log("hit");
     }
 }

I have attached this script to a square and put near it another square which acts like a target, also added a 2d box collider to the target. I have disabled the "hit itself" feature like is described here: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/756380/raycast-ignore-itself.html After performing all this steps the raycast hits nothing, the collider of the hit object is always null (checked this in debug mode, also nothing is written in console) . I drew a debug line, and indeed it points to the target square like in screenshots.
