Models not building because they are undefined about sequelize-fixtures HOT 2 CLOSED

I had a similar issue recently that I spent way too much time on. This is due to the way babel exports work. In short, I had to revert to module.exports as opposed to export default for my fixtures.

from sequelize-fixtures.

Got to the bottom of this so here's the notes for someone who comes along behind.

If you have a broken up set of models (not all defined in the one file) then you'll more than likely be using a models/index.js file to define all the sequelize stuff as well as the relationships between them. This code will also have a loader for all your models so your application can use them.

Instead of defining the models to use the way it says to do it in the readme get your returned models from the index.js file

var models = require('./models');

And then pass that as the models definition to the fixture loader. This will have all of your models defined the way the fixture loader is assuming it will come with actual objects as the models.
