Sequelize-cli doesn't do anything - sql-server

Question

I am trying to use sequelize and sequelize-cli to create database schema changes (MSSQL) by using the migration mechanism. But nothing is happening - it looks like it does not find any migration files in the migration folder.
I did the following in a new folder to create a test project:
npm init
[ added relevant packages: sequelize, sequelize-cli, tedious ]
sequelize init
[ here I added the connection information, all to a blank database on Azure SQL ]
sequelize init:models
sequelize init:migrations
sequelize migration:create
I added the following to the created migration file:
'use strict';
module.exports = {
up: function (queryInterface, Sequelize) {
return queryInterface.createTable('users', { id: Sequelize.INTEGER });
},
down: function (queryInterface, Sequelize) {
return queryInterface.dropTable('users');
}
};
which is basically just according to the template created by the last sequelize command.
Now I would expect a new table to be created when I run the migrate command:
sequelize db:migrate
But all I get is this:
Sequelize [Node: 0.12.2, CLI: 1.7.4, ORM: 3.5.1]
Loaded configuration file "config/config.json".
Using environment "development".
Using gulpfile /usr/local/lib/node_modules/sequelize-cli/lib/gulpfile.js
Finished 'db:migrate' after 161 ms
which means it did not find any migration files. No table has appeared in the database and no sequelizeMeta table was created.
What's wrong?

You can try creating a .sequelizerc file in the root directory to point it to the correct migrations folder:
var path = require('path');
module.exports = {
'config': path.resolve('path/to/folder', 'config/config.json'),
'migrations-path': path.resolve('path/to/folder', 'migrations'),
'models-path': path.resolve('path/to/folder, 'models')
}
Run sequelize init after creating file
