Postgres dialect is not working in sequelize


Running my Express project on a Windows 10 machine with pgAdmin4.

In sequelize/config.json file with postgres dialect, Sequelize gives some error.

"development": {
    "username": "root",
    "password": null,
    "database": "database_development",
    "host": "127.0.0.1",
    "port": "5432",
    "dialect": "postgres"
  }

But with sqlite dialect, it works fine.

"development": {
    "dialect": "sqlite",
    "storage": "./db.development.sqlite"
    }

Running gulp watch with postgres dialect, following errors come up:

$ gulp watch

I think there are some other configuration need to be added or changed. But I am not sure which one. Do you think the widows/pgadmin version I am using, are causing some of these errors or windows 10 firewall/security blocking the port?


Solution

  • Make sure:

    1) Postgres db is running
    2) pg is installed: 
    

    npm install --save pg

    3) Add also protocol to your config
    
    'dialect':'postgres',
    'protocol':'postgres'
