Keystone: Starter Project w/Knex Adapter Failing on Startup

[wcalebgray]

Bug report

Describe the bug

I followed the quick start guide. I wanted to create the "Starter (Users + Authentication)" type of app with the PostgreSQL database. Below is an output from my terminal of what I did (PLEASE NOTE: I had already created the database on a previous try that ended in the exact same error).

To Reproduce

  ~/Projects ❯ yarn create keystone-app school-dispatch                                                                                                                                       4s

Expected behaviour

I expected to be able to start up my demo project.

I also already have tried the {dropDatabase: true hack that I saw in other solutions, but that didn't work here.

Hey @wcalebgray
Had the same issue. It looks like a problem with version mismatch between @keystonejs/keystone and @keystonejs/adapter-knex
I noticed that I had those in package.json:
"@keystonejs/adapter-knex": "^7.0.0",
"@keystonejs/keystone": "^6.0.1",
after upgrade to:
"@keystonejs/adapter-knex": "^7.0.0",
"@keystonejs/keystone": "^7.0.0",
keystone started working

[aaroncrawford]

Can confirm the update to keystone fixed. Thanks @wini16

[cyberious]

Just ran into this when looking into the project as a possible option, glad someone shared this with me.

[wcalebgray]

Confirmed as well, thanks @wini16 ! Leaving this open until either myself or someone can fix the starter app stuff.

This has been fixed in version 3.0.0 of create-keystone-app. Please try running the script at this new version and by all means re-open this ticket if you find the same/similar issues with the latest version.
