Is this a bug with arrays?

In postgres I have a column defined like this: 
someArrayField: text('someArrayField')
  .array()
  .default(sql`ARRAY[]::text[]`)
  .notNull()
someArrayField: text('someArrayField')
  .array()
  .default(sql`ARRAY[]::text[]`)
  .notNull()
For insertions, drizzle says I don't need to define someArrayField since it has a default. Yet when I try to insert a record, I get this error: 
error: null value in column "someArrayField" of relation "SomeTable" violates not-null constraint
error: null value in column "someArrayField" of relation "SomeTable" violates not-null constraint
Am I doing this incorrectly? interestingly, on localhost, this has no issues when I use import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/postgres-js'; This only has issues when deployed when I use import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/neon-serverless'; I wanted to just do .default([]) but then drizzle kit tells me:

Can you try changing the the column to: 
someArrayField: text('someArrayField')
  .array()
  .$default([])
  .notNull()
someArrayField: text('someArrayField')
  .array()
  .$default([])
  .notNull()
The question I'd have is, did you run push/migrate after you defined the the default?

jakeleventhalOP•12mo ago
when i defined it like this, yes i pushed it 
.default(sql`ARRAY[]::text[]`)
.default(sql`ARRAY[]::text[]`)

$default([]) doesnt work using .$default(() => []) in my code seems to work well, once a record exists in the db, if i try to change from ARRAY[]::text[] to () => [] it says 
· You're about to remove default value from someOtherFieldWithData not-null column with 60 items
· You're about to remove default value from someOtherFieldWithData not-null column with 60 items

My bad, this is the correct code You don't have to run migrations for this. The $default function run purely in js

Also, you might have better luck with the following syntax. See here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30933266/empty-array-as-postgresql-array-column-default-value

Empty array as PostgreSQL array column default value
I have a defined an array field in postgresql 9.4 database: character varying(64)[] Can I have an empty array e.g. {} for default value of that field? What will be the syntax for setting so? I'm

someArrayField: text('someArrayField')
  .array()
  .default(sql`'{}'`)
  .notNull()
someArrayField: text('someArrayField')
  .array()

.default(sql`'{}'`)
.default(sql`'{}'`)
this syntax works why wouldnt the original ARRAY[]::text[] work?

seems like two: 1. ARRAY[] stynax default doesnt work for neon (probably a bug in neon?) 2. drizzle does not handle default arrays properly: .default([]) yeilds:

The default() is designed to receive sql. Although unfortunately the interfaces doesn't convey that.

weird, seems like [] is neither SQL<unknown> or Date
Angelelz
Angelelz•12mo ago
It's definitely not. But it's the same bug.
jakeleventhal
jakeleventhalOP•12mo ago
for me, the interface is SQL<unknown> | string[] (why it doesnt throw an error for me)
Angelelz
Angelelz•12mo ago
Yes, what I'm trying to say is that the interface is not correct. If you are using a Date or an array, drizzle is showing you the wrong interface for the .default() method

oh, nvm, its based on the column type. understood
