When trying to autogenerate migrations I get the following error.
File must contain a TypeScript / JavaScript code and export a DataSource instance
This is the command that I am running:
typeorm migration:generate projects/core/migrations/user -d db_config.ts -o
And my db_config.ts file looks like this:
import { DataSource } from "typeorm";
const AppDataSource = new DataSource({
type: "postgres",
host: process.env.PGHOST,
port: 5432,
username: process.env.PGUSER,
password: process.env.PGPASSWORD,
database: process.env.PGDATABASE,
entities: ["./projects/**/entities/*.ts"],
migrations: ["./projects/**/migrations/**.js"],
synchronize: true,
logging: false,
});
export default AppDataSource
My current file structure looks like this:
- back_end -- projects --- index.ts --- db_config.ts
And my index.ts file looks like this:
import express from "express";
import { AppDataSource } from "./data-source";
import budget_app from "./projects/budget_app/routes";
export const app = express();
const port = 3000;
AppDataSource.initialize()
.then(() => {
console.log("Data Source has been initialized!");
})
.catch((err) => {
console.error("Error during Data Source initialization", err);
});
// export default AppDataSource;
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
res.send("Hello World!!!!");
});
app.use("/budget_app", budget_app);
app.listen(port, () => {
console.log(`Example app listening on port ${port}`);
});
I am also running this in a docker container along with my postgres database. I have confirmed that the connection works because if I do synchronize=true it will create the table just fine. I just can't create the migration.
So I'm confused and don't know where to go from here to fix the issue. Thanks for your help in advance!
