Unhandled rejection TypeError: Dependency name must be given as a not empty string


I got this error when codes hitting require('./models').sequelize.sync(). (models is a directory created by running command sequelize init) Could anyone give me some hints about what induces this error?

I'm using sequelize@3.2.0 with HapiJS. An similar repo can be found here. (This repo is indeed working, even with sequelize upgraded to latest version)


Solution

  • It's caused by a illformed self-referencing key in one one of my model file.
