Drizzle can't find local sqlite file

I'm trying to play around with sqlite but I can't seem to connect my config and local sqlite db file. Config:

import type { Config } from 'drizzle-kit';

export default {
  schema: './src/db/schema.ts',
  out: './drizzle',
  driver: 'better-sqlite',
  dbCredentials: {
    url: 'file:./sqlite.db',
  },
  verbose: true,
} satisfies Config;

import type { Config } from 'drizzle-kit';

export default {
  schema: './src/db/schema.ts',
  out: './drizzle',
  driver: 'better-sqlite',
  dbCredentials: {
    url: 'file:./sqlite.db',
  },
  verbose: true,
} satisfies Config;

The sqlite db file is in the root of my project, just like the drizzle config I've also set up this file in src/db/index.ts

import Database from 'better-sqlite3';
import { BetterSQLite3Database, drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/better-sqlite3';

const sqlite = new Database('sqlite.db');
export const db: BetterSQLite3Database = drizzle(sqlite);

import Database from 'better-sqlite3';
import { BetterSQLite3Database, drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/better-sqlite3';

const sqlite = new Database('sqlite.db');
export const db: BetterSQLite3Database = drizzle(sqlite);

Error:

I also can't find much in the docs on how to work with a local sqlite file 😦 generate:sqlite seems to work but not push:sqlite

jackaltd•11mo ago

Try this: dbCredentials: { url: './sqlite.db', }

Andrii Sherman•11mo ago

this one should work
