Sequelize CLI migration error “Cannot read property ‘type’ of undefined” when creating table with db:migrate

I’m running yarn sequelize db:migrate to create the table in the database using a postgres image in the docker and returns the following message:

mateus @ fariasmateuss: ~ / Projects / gobarber / server $ yarn sequelize db: migrate
yarn run v1.22.4

$ /home/mateus/Projects/gobarber/server/node_modules/.bin/sequelize db: migrate

Sequelize CLI [Node: 12.17.0, CLI: 6.0.0, ORM: 6.2.0]

ERROR: Cannot read property 'type' of undefined

error Command failed with exit code 1.

Configuration of the .sequelizerc file:

const {resolve} = require ('path');

module.exports = {
  config: resolves (__ dirname, 'src', 'config', 'database.js'),
  'models-path': resolves (__ dirname, 'src', 'app', 'models'),
  'migrations-path': resolves (__ dirname, 'src', 'database', 'migrations'),
  'seeders-path': resolves (__ dirname, 'src', 'database', 'seeds'),
};

Code to create the table in the file migrations.js:

module.exports = {
  up: (queryInterface, Sequelize) => {
    return queryInterface.createTable ('users', {
      id: {
        type: Sequelize.INTEGER,
        allowNull: false,
        autoIncrement: true,
        primaryKey: true,
      },
      name: {
        type: Sequelize.STRING,
        allowNull: false,
      },
      email: {
        type: Sequelize.STRING,
        allowNull: false,
        unique: true,
      },
      password_hash: {
        type: Sequelize.STRING,
        allowNull: false,
      },
      provider: {
        type: Sequelize.BOOLEAN,
        defaultValues: false,
        allowNull: false,
      },
      created_at: {
        type: Sequelize.DATA,
        allowNull: false,
      },
      updated_at: {
        type: Sequelize.DATA,
        allowNull: false,
      },
    });
  },

  down: (queryInterface) => {
    return queryInterface.dropTable ('users');
  },
};

OS: Linux Focal Fossa 20.04 LTS

Would anyone know what the possible solution would be?

Answer

Error seems to be a typo, the type for Sequelize.DATA vs Sequelize.DATE.

Here are the valid data types.
