rethinkdb-migrate migration file in location

Question

I am using rethinkdb-migrate for migrating rethink db database object.

I am running the following command -

rethinkdb-migrate up --db=test 

When the migration file is in migrations folder it's working as expected. but when I am moving the migration folder within another folder ( db ), it's not working.

rethinkdb-migrate up --file /db/migrations/20180725062631-scehma.js --db=test

The above command gives following error -

/home/bappaditya/.nvm/versions/node/v8.11.3/lib/node_modules/rethinkdb-migrate/node_modules/yargs/yargs.js:1133
      else throw err
           ^

I triple checked, 20180725062631-scehma.js exists in db/migrations

Answer 1

Unless your db folder is in the root, you shouldn't use the leading slash.

So instead of:

rethinkdb-migrate up --file /db/migrations/20180725062631-scehma.js --db=test

Use:

rethinkdb-migrate up --file db/migrations/20180725062631-scehma.js --db=test

Answer 2

Maybe you have misspelled the name of the file, "-scehma" to "-schema" :

rethinkdb-migrate up --file /db/migrations/20180725062631-scehma.js --db=test

It should be:

rethinkdb-migrate up --file /db/migrations/20180725062631-schema.js --db=test
