Integrating SQL migrations into a React CI/CD pipeline with Knex.js
I've been working on this all day and While setting up a CI/CD pipeline for a React application, I've encountered a challenge with integrating SQL migrations using Knex.js... The aim is to ensure that the database schema is up to date with every deployment without manual intervention. Currently, I’ve configured my GitHub Actions workflow to run after the build step, but the database migrations sometimes fail due to connection issues. Here's a snippet from my workflow file: ```yaml name: CI/CD Pipeline on: push: branches: - main jobs: build: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Checkout uses: actions/checkout@v2 - name: Set up Node.js uses: actions/setup-node@v2 with: node-version: '14' - name: Install dependencies run: npm install - name: Run migrations run: npm run migrate ``` In my `package.json`, I’ve added a script for migrations: ```json "scripts": { "migrate": "knex migrate:latest --env production" } ``` However, I’m noticing that during the migration step, sometimes the database isn’t accessible, which raises the error: `Error: Knex: Timeout acquiring a connection`. I’ve tried increasing the connection timeout in my Knex configuration, but the problem persists. Here’s what my Knex configuration looks like: ```javascript const knex = require('knex')({ client: 'pg', connection: { host: 'your_database_host', user: 'your_database_user', password: 'your_database_password', database: 'your_database_name', connectTimeout: 10000 // Increased timeout } }); ``` To tackle this, I considered implementing a retry mechanism for the migration step, but I’m unsure how to best handle connection retries in Knex. Has anyone successfully integrated database migrations in a React CI/CD workflow? Any tips on managing the connection stability or improving the overall setup? Thanks!
