Running db-migrate programtically

I would like to be able to run db-migrate programmatically, such that all migrations run on start-up of my application.

I have tried to use the Programmable API as described, such as:

var DbMigrate = require('db-migrate'); var dbm = DbMigrate.getInstance(true); dbm.run();

However, I get no such luck with this. I simply get the following error:

[ERROR] TypeError: Cannot read property 'split' of undefined

Any guidance would be great, thanks.

Node version: 4.2.4 NPM version: 2.14.12 db-migrate version: 0.10.0-beta.9 db-migrate-mysql version: 1.1.3

If you run your app using npm run start, you can add a prestart script to package.json to do the migrations before your app starts. In package.json you would have:

{
  "scripts": {
    "prestart": "db-migrate up",
    "start": "node ./index"
  },
  ...
}

@HopefulLlama Here is another example project: https://github.com/db-migrate/api-examples

Also please note: The API specification is not yet finished and there are things that are going to be improved, such as using promises on this level and so on. But from the very basic this is a very little example of how it works right now and its very likely that this will also work in the future, but will get easier, hope this helps a bit.
