Migration CLI error: no schema has been selected to create in

Knex: 0.12.6 PostgreSQL 9.6.1 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (Alpine 6.2.1) 6.2.1 20160822, 64-bit Node: 7.5.0 OS: Windows 10

Is it possibly because I dropped the public schema and replaced it with another one - database_schema. How do I interact with the migration CLI and the database?

**// knexfile.js**
module.exports = {
  development: {
    client: 'postgresql',
    connection: {
      database: 'database_development',
      user:     'admin_user',
      password: 'admin_password',
      host: '192.168.99.100'
    },
    pool: {
      min: 2,
      max: 10
    },
    migrations: {
      tableName: 'knex_migrations'
    }
  }
};

This might be me misunderstanding Knex (first time using it), but I’m running into this problem:

λ knex migrate:currentVersion

Connecting with PSQL works with the same arguments, as does connection with Knex outside the migration CLI.

I’m experiencing the same issue and setting searchPath in the knexfile doesn’t help.

const knexConfig = (module.exports = {
    test: {
	client: 'pg',
	connection: {
	    host: 'localhost',
            port: 5432,
       	    user: 'myadmin',
	    password: process.env.POSTGRES_PASSWORD,
	    database: 'mydatabase-test',
	},
	searchPath: ['myadmin', 'myschema'],
	migrations: {
            directory: __dirname + '/db/migrations',
            extension: 'ts',
	},
	seeds: {
            directory: __dirname + '/db/seeds',
	},
    },

$ knex migrate:latest --env test
Requiring external module ts-node/register
Using environment: test
error: create table "knex_migrations" ("id" serial primary key, "name" varchar(255), "batch" integer, "migration_time" timestamptz) - no schema has been selected to create in

// EDIT:

Alright, I had to explicitly specify schemaName field within a migrations object. This solved the problem.

migrations: {
    directory: __dirname + '/db/migrations',
    extension: 'ts',
    schemaName: 'myschema'
},

Does this work (added searchPath configuration)

**// knexfile.js**
module.exports = {
  development: {
    client: 'postgresql',
    searchPath: 'database_schema',
    connection: {
      database: 'database_development',
      user:     'admin_user',
      password: 'admin_password',
      host: '192.168.99.100'
    },
    pool: {
      min: 2,
      max: 10
    },
    migrations: {
      tableName: 'knex_migrations'
    }
  }
};
