Can't use db:create with postgres

Just installed postgres with default settings. Created this config:

{
  "defaultEnv": "local",
  "local": {
    "driver": "pg",
    "user": "postgres",
    "password": [my password],
    "host": "localhost",
    "database": "identity",
    "schema": "public"
  }
}

Then tried running

db-migrate db:create identity

.

Got error:

[INFO] Detected and using the projects local version of db-migrate. ‘D:\Development\friendswithgoals\databases\identity\node_modules\db-migrate\index.js’ [INFO] Using local settings: { driver: ‘pg’, user: ‘postgres’, password: ‘******’, host: ‘localhost’, database: ‘identity’, schema: ‘public’ } [INFO] require: db-migrate-pg [INFO] connecting [INFO] connected [SQL] CREATE DATABASE “identity” [ERROR] error: database “identity” does not exist at Connection.parseE (D:\Development\friendswithgoals\databases\identity\node_modules\db-migrate-pg\node_modules\pg\lib\connection.js:539:11) at Connection.parseMessage (D:\Development\friendswithgoals\databases\identity\node_modules\db-migrate-pg\node_modules\pg\lib\connection.js:366:17) at Socket.<anonymous> (D:\Development\friendswithgoals\databases\identity\node_modules\db-migrate-pg\node_modules\pg\lib\connection.js:105:22) at emitOne (events.js:77:13) at Socket.emit (events.js:169:7) at readableAddChunk (_stream_readable.js:153:18) at Socket.Readable.push (_stream_readable.js:111:10) at TCP.onread (net.js:531:20)

Tried taking out “database” “identity” from config, and got:

Migrations seem to be working fine. I was able to manually create db, and run migrations. Just wondering what I’m doing wrong here.

For anyone who runs into this, my workaround was to create a separate database_create.json configuration file that looks like this (without a database property):

{
  "defaultEnv": "local",
  "local": {
    "driver": "pg",
    "user": "postgres",
    "password": [my password],
    "host": "localhost",
    "schema": "public"
  }
}

I then run the create command like this:

node_modules/db-migrate/bin/db-migrate --config database_create.json db:create identity

Would love to see this fixed in core, following the docs in order and then trying to create a db leads to this error
