- TypeScript type exports changed significantly. While
import Knex from 'knex';
used to import the knex instantiation function, the namespace and the interface for the knex instantiation function/object, there is now a clear distinction between them:
import { knex } from 'knex' // this is a function that you call to instantiate knex
import { Knex } from 'knex' // this is a namespace, and a type of a knex object
import KnexTimeoutError = Knex.KnexTimeoutError; // this is a class from the Knex namespace
const config: Knex.Config = {} // this is a type from the Knex namespace
const knexInstance: Knex = knex(config)
- Transaction rollback does not trigger a promise rejection for transactions with specified handler. If you want to preserve previous behavior, pass
config
object withdoNotRejectOnRollback: false
:
await knex.transaction(async trx => {
const ids = await trx('catalogues')
.insert({
name: 'Old Books'
}, 'id')
}, { doNotRejectOnRollback: false });
-
Connection url parsing changed from legacy url.parse to WHATWG URL. If you have symbols, unusual for a URL (not A-z, not digits, not dot, not dash) - check Node.js docs for details
-
Global static
Knex.raw
support dropped, use instanceknex.raw
instead. (require('knex').raw()
won't work anymore) -
v8 flags are no longer supported in cli. To pass these flags use
NODE_OPTIONS
environment variable. For exampleNODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=1536" npm run knex
- Node.js older than 10 is no longer supported, make sure to update your environment;
- Passing unknown properties to connection pool configuration now throws errors (see Vincit/tarn.js#19 for details);
beforeDestroy
pool configuration option was removed. You should use tarn.js event handlers if you still need similar functionality.
- Node.js older than 8 is no longer supported, make sure to update your environment;
- Knex returns native promises instead of bluebird ones now. You will need to update your code not to rely on bluebird-specific functionality;
- Knex.Promise was removed, use native promises;
- Promise is no longer passed to migrations and seeds, use native one;
- If you are using TypeScript, make sure to include 'es6' in compilerOptions.lib, otherwise you may get errors for methods
.catch()
andthen()
not being recognized.
- Generic support was implemented for TypeScript bindings, which may break TS builds in some edge cases. Please refer to https://knexjs.org/#typescript-support for more elaborate documentation.
- MSSQL: DB versions older than 2008 are no longer supported, make sure to update your DB;
- PostgreSQL|MySQL: it is recommended to use options object for
table.datetime
andtable.timestamp
methods instead of argument options. See documentation for these methods for more details; - Node 6: There are known issues with duplicate event listeners when using knex.js with Node.js 6 (resulting in MaxListenersExceededWarning under certain use-cases (such as reusing single knex instance to run migrations or seeds multiple times)). Please upgrade to Node.js 8+ as soon as possible (knex 0.17.0 will be dropping Node.js 6 support altogether);
-
Node.js older than 6 is no longer supported, make sure to update your environment;
-
MSSQL: Creating a unique index on the table targeted by stored procedures that were created with QUOTED_IDENTIFIER = OFF fails.
You can use this query to identify all affected stored procedures:
SELECT name = OBJECT_NAME([object_id]), uses_quoted_identifier
FROM sys.sql_modules
WHERE uses_quoted_identifier = 0;
The only known solution is to recreate all stored procedures with QUOTED_IDENTIFIER = OFF
- MariaDB:
mariadb
dialect is no longer supported;
Instead, use "mysql" or "mysql2" dialects.
- Including schema in tableName parameter in migrations no longer works, so this is invalid:
await knex.migrate.latest({
directory: 'src/services/orders/database/migrations',
tableName: 'orders.orders_migrations'
})
Instead, starting from 0.14.5 you should use new parameter schemaName:
await knex.migrate.latest({
directory: 'src/services/orders/database/migrations',
tableName: 'orders_migrations',
schemaName: 'orders'
})
