knex.js warning

See original GitHub issue

Recently I’ve been running migrations and received this warning.

package.json is:

"@adonisjs/lucid": "^5.0.2",

Knex:warning - Use async .hasTable to check if table exists and then use plain .createTable. Since .createTableIfNotExists actually just generates plain "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXIST..." query it will not work correctly if there are any alter table queries generated for columns afterwards. To not break old migrations this function is left untouched for now, but it should not be used when writing new code and it is removed from documentation.

Just FYI

The warning is correct. All knex is asking is to use hasTable in combination with createTable.

So simply remove createTableIfExists and use what knex is suggesting.
