Drizzle doesn't know how to serialize a bigint

When using a defaultValue for a bigint like this:

storage: bigint('storage', {mode: 'bigint'}).default(262144000n).notNull(), // 250mb in bytes

storage: bigint('storage', {mode: 'bigint'}).default(262144000n).notNull(), // 250mb in bytes

I will ge the following error when generating the schema:

TypeError: Do not know how to serialize a BigInt

TypeError: Do not know how to serialize a BigInt

I am using postgresql

Solution:

Try without the n ? I guess it is only a JS thing right?

Hello, Would you try this?

.default(sql`'262144000n'::bigint`)

.default(sql`'262144000n'::bigint`)

Yes, that works! But only for the drizzle kit. When I try to push it, I get the following error:

error: invalid input syntax for type bigint: "262144000n"

error: invalid input syntax for type bigint: "262144000n"
