Wont Build

[Randy85253]

Looks like a great project, but can't see all its goodness cause it won't build for me

No MySql, so trying 'sqlite3'. Just setting the connection string to be a file name. But I am not sure that is my problem, since it fails to even run the db:migrate script. Seems like a Knex issue.

With src/config.js
connection: 'mydb.sqlite', client: 'sqlite3',
and entering 'npm run db:migrate', i get this error

I tried running 'knex' but it was not recogized, so I loaded it globally.
Re-ran db:migrate script with same results.
Tried running 'knex migrate:latest' directly, and got this error

The problem is that knex.js expects something like that for sqlite3.

var knex = require('knex')({
  client: 'sqlite3',
  connection: {
    filename: "./mydb.sqlite"
  }
});

So you have to change the ./src/core/Database.ts for that.

You also need to upgrade the "ts-node" package.
I've upgraded everything in package.json and I'm able to build & serve (yarn upgrade --latest).
