Failed to resolve config file, knex cannot determine where to generate migrations - database

Question

I’m trying to migrate and seed in a certain directory(database dir). But when I run:
npx knex migrate:make testing_table
it shows:
TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "path" argument must be of type string. Received undefined
at validateString (internal/validators.js:124:11)
Directory
Main folder
Client
Server
Database
Migrations
Knexfile.js
Public
Package.json
etc.
What I've done is that I’ve moved the knexfile.js outside the database directory and into the main directory. It works and migrates, but it creates another migration folder in the main rather than creating a table in the current migration folder.
Here is the code:
connection:
const config = require('../db/knexfile')
const env = process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development'
const connection = knex(config[env])
module.exports = connection
knex file:
module.exports = {
development: {
client: 'sqlite3',
connection: {
filename: './dev.sqlite3'
},
useNullAsDefault: true,
// Getting SQlite to honour contraints
pool: {
afterCreate: (conn, cb) =>
conn.run('PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON', cb)
}
},
test: {
client: 'sqlite3',
connection: {
filename: ':memory:'
},
useNullAsDefault: true,
seeds: {
directory: path.join(__dirname, 'tests/seeds')
},
migrations: {
directory: path.join(__dirname, 'migrations')
}
},
production: {
client: 'sqlite3',
connection: process.env.DATABASE_URL,
pool: {
min: 2,
max: 10
},
migrations: {
directory: path.join(__dirname, './server/db/migrations')
},
seeds: {
directory: path.join(__dirname, './seeds')
}
}
}

if you have moved the knexfile into Main Folder(as you've mentioned in the folder structure), you'll have to change the path of migrations directory as follows:-
test: {
client: 'sqlite3',
connection: {
filename: ':memory:'
},
useNullAsDefault: true,
seeds: {
directory: path.join(__dirname, 'tests/seeds')
},
migrations: {
directory: path.join(__dirname, './Database/Migrations') //--Changed this line
}},
