TypeError: Cannot read property 'toUpperCase' of undefined

See original GitHub issue

I keep getting this error when I try to define the associations for my models.

turn str.trim().replace(/[-_\s]+(.)?/g, function(match, c){ return c.toUpperCa
                                                                    ^
TypeError: Cannot read property 'toUpperCase' of undefined
    at /home/user/node/project/node_modules/sequelize/lib/utils.js:51:75

The line in question is:

Project.belongsToMany(Owner, { as: 'Projects', foreignKey: 'project_id', through: 'project_owners' });

The problem seems to be the Owner model. However, if I do console.log(Owner.tableName);, I do get the expected output.

What might be the cause of this?

Hmm… Can you post a reproducible test case?

Do both target and source have primary keys? And are the marked as such with primaryKey: true?

I have a case where both tables have a primary key and there are no underscores anywhere, yet I still get this error. I also have a repo which reproduces the issue: https://github.com/WaltzApp/sequelize-troubleshooting
