db:makemigrations not working

[osvaldokalvaitir]

I read a tutorial on how to use, installing:

npm install --save github:scimonster/sequelize-auto-migrations#a063aa6535a3f580623581bf866cef2d609531ba

Edit package.json
"scripts": {
...
"db:makemigrations": "./node_modules/sequelize-auto-migrations/bin/makemigration.js",
}

After:
npm run db:makemigrations

But when running, nothing happens, just open the file 'makemigration.js'.

I have a .sequelizerc file:

const { resolve } = require('path');

module.exports = {
config: resolve(__dirname, 'src', 'config', 'database.js'),
'models-path': resolve(__dirname, 'src', 'app', 'models'),
'migrations-path': resolve(__dirname, 'src', 'database', 'migrations'),
'seeders-path': resolve(__dirname, 'src', 'database', 'seeds'),
};

Could that be it? if anyone can help me, i will be very grateful.

Make sure you are running the file, not just opening it from the terminal.

Try node ./node_modules/sequelize-auto-migrations/bin/makemigration.js in your package.json instead so it is being run.

Eric!
you're right, I forgot to put node, I remember that I had done a test here, but this error occurred:

It looks like he can't find my folder, or can't find the models! But there are 4 in the folder.

[ericbenedetto16]

Do you have an index.js file in the models directory that imports all of the models? (if you ran sequelize init there should be one for you)

[osvaldokalvaitir]

Eric, yes, I have!

I had no index in the model folder. Delete my 'database' file and it generated both.

Thank you very much, Eric !! Everything worked.

I know it has nothing to do with this issue, but he didn't accept the 'imports' I have on the models, is this library supported?

Seems like a dead repo, but what I did earlier since my imports weren't working was I forked the repo and made it so I can pass my connection in the CLI. Check it out Here

How I used it was when I instantiate and export my db connection:

config/db.js

const Sequelize = require('sequelize');

module.exports = new Sequelize(
    process.env.DB_DATABASE,
    process.env.DB_USER,
    process.env.DB_PASS,
    {
        host: process.env.DB_HOST,
        dialect: 'mysql',
        operatorAliases: false,

        define: {
            timestamps: false,
        },

        pool: {
            max: 5,
            min: 0,
            acquire: 30000,
            idle: 10000,
        },
    }
);

Then in my models directory I left index.js completely empty.

Lastly, in the command inside your package.json you can use "db:makemigrations": "node ./node_modules/sequelize-auto-migrations/bin/makemigration.js --conn ./config/db.js"

Let me know if this helps!

I have the 'database' file similar to yours, but in the 'index' I commented out the 'env' code.

Is working if my models are passed like this:

but if I do it like this:

import { Models } from 'sequelize';

doesn't work, so I think the package doesn't support ESM.
