drizzle-kit generate migrations error: Please specify 'dialect' param (dialect param is included)

I would like to generate migrations but when I run the following command:

npx drizzle-kit generate --config drizzle.config.ts --dialect postgresql

npx drizzle-kit generate --config drizzle.config.ts --dialect postgresql

I got this output:

Error  Please specify 'dialect' param

Error  Please specify 'dialect' param

This is my drizzle.config.ts

import { defineConfig } from "drizzle-kit";
import { config } from "@/libs/packages/config";

const drizzleConfig = defineConfig({
  schema: "src/libs/packages/drizzle/schema.ts",
  out: "src/libs/packages/drizzle/migrations",
  dialect: "postgresql",
  dbCredentials: {
    url: config.env.NEON_CONNECTION_STRING,
  },
  verbose: true,
  strict: true,
});

export { drizzleConfig };

import { defineConfig } from "drizzle-kit";
import { config } from "@/libs/packages/config";

const drizzleConfig = defineConfig({
  schema: "src/libs/packages/drizzle/schema.ts",
  out: "src/libs/packages/drizzle/migrations",
  dialect: "postgresql",
  dbCredentials: {
    url: config.env.NEON_CONNECTION_STRING,
  },
  verbose: true,
  strict: true,
});

export { drizzleConfig };

schema.ts

import { pgTable, serial, varchar } from "drizzle-orm/pg-core";

const userTable = pgTable("user", {
  id: serial("id").primaryKey(),
  name: varchar("name").notNull(),
});

export { userTable };

import { pgTable, serial, varchar } from "drizzle-orm/pg-core";

const userTable = pgTable("user", {
  id: serial("id").primaryKey(),
  name: varchar("name").notNull(),
});

export { userTable };

Solved it by specifying the schema parameter directly in the command:

npx drizzle-kit generate --dialect=postgresql --schema=src/libs/packages/drizzle/schema.ts

npx drizzle-kit generate --dialect=postgresql --schema=src/libs/packages/drizzle/schema.ts
