On renameColumn throw error if defaultValue CURRENT_TIMESTAMP

What are you doing?

I run migration with code:

await queryInterface.renameColumn(tableName, 'timestamp', 'updated_timestamp');

What do you expect to happen?

Migration successfully applied

What is actually happening?

Throw error:

{
  Error: Invalid default value for 'updated_timestamp'
  code: 'ER_INVALID_DEFAULT',
  errno: 1067,
  sqlState: '42000',
  sqlMessage: 'Invalid default value for \'updated_timestamp\'',
  sql: 'ALTER TABLE `billing_apple_callback` CHANGE `timestamp` `updated_timestamp` DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT \'CURRENT_TIMESTAMP\';'
}

SQL: ALTER TABLE `billing_apple_callback` CHANGE `timestamp` `updated_timestamp` DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT \'CURRENT_TIMESTAMP\';

Dialect: mysql Dialect version: musql2@1.5.1 Database version: 5.7.13 Sequelize version: 4.31.0 Tested with latest release: No

If change sql to ALTER TABLE `billing_apple_callback` CHANGE `timestamp` `updated_timestamp` DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP; all be fine. Error in \'around CURRENT_TIMESTAMP.

I think you have set defaultValue for this attribute to CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, remove that and let Sequelize handle it

Yes it about escaping. Sequelize must generate sql: ALTER TABLE `billing_apple_callback` CHANGE `timestamp` `updated_timestamp` DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP;

But he generate wrong sql: ALTER TABLE `billing_apple_callback` CHANGE `timestamp` `updated_timestamp` DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT \'CURRENT_TIMESTAMP\';
