How do I migrate in CI/CD pipeline ? about vendure HOT 3 CLOSED

@meyvan non-interactive mode for CLI commands is coming in an upcoming feature release.

Assuming the migration file looks correct, the next time you start the server, 
the migration will be run automatically. This is because the runMigrations 
function is called in the src/index.ts file:

Migration should run automatically when you start the server, unless I misunderstood your issue ?

from vendure.

Automatically updating the DB schema when server is started is a Anti-DevOps principle. We should be able to control when and how we run the migrations. And for that npx vendure migrate command is good, but it is interactive, which cannot(or hard to achieve) in a Github Actions CI/CD pipeline.

A better option is to send in arguments like --no-interaction combined with --runMigration or other arguments like that

Nevertheless, I found a way to run the migration separately.

And to anyone coming here, at the time of writing, copy the

import {  runMigrations } from '@vendure/core';
import { config } from './vendure-config';

runMigrations(config)
    .then(() => console.log('Migration Complete'))
    .catch(err => {
        console.log(err);
    });

into a separate file and run it using ts-node migrate.ts , whenever and wherever you like
