Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

I am trying to upgrade my application from "better-auth": "1.4.18" to "better-auth": "1.5.0". But I get this error:

ra-rewrite) [SIGINT]> npx @better-auth/cli generate --output src/db/schema/auth.ts
Need to install the following packages:
@better-auth/cli@1.4.20
Ok to proceed? (y)

Bun v1.3.9 (macOS arm64)

Current vs. Expected behavior

I am expecting the migration files to be generated correctly.

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.5.0

Hi @IgnisDa! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the better-auth team.

This is a version mismatch issue. When you run npx @better-auth/cli, it installed version 1.4.20, but your project has better-auth 1.5.0 installed. In version 1.5.0, getMigrations was moved from better-auth/db to better-auth/db/migration as part of a module reorganization.

Solution: Pin the CLI version to match your better-auth version:

npx @better-auth/cli@1.5.0 generate --output src/db/schema/auth.ts

Or using the shorter alias:

npx auth@1.5.0 generate --output src/db/schema/auth.ts

This is a known issue when npx fetches the latest CLI version without explicit pinning.

To reply, just mention @dosu.

@dosubot[bot] commented on GitHub (Mar 2, 2026):

Thanks for checking! The CLI package was renamed from @better-auth/cli to just auth. That's why 1.5.0 doesn't exist under the old name.

Try this instead:

bunx --bun auth generate --output src/db/schema/auth.ts

Or with npm:

npx auth generate --output src/db/schema/auth.ts

If you still hit the getMigrations export error, there may be a compatibility issue with the latest CLI and better-auth 1.5.0. In that case, try pinning to version 1.4.21:

bunx --bun auth@1.4.21 generate --output src/db/schema/auth.ts

To reply, just mention @dosu.

Thanks. It worked with bunx --bun auth generate --output src/db/schema/auth.ts. I missed it in the https://better-auth.com/changelog.

Can close this issue.
