hello again,

i am doing something wrong.
i am trying to add a new collection but cant seem to succeed.
the documentation states that a new collection will be recognized automatically when added but this doesnt seem to happen. i added a new table/collection to the database, also, added the schema to the models folder and tried to run forest schema:update.
the update fails with an error stated above, the routes folder is inside a src folder.
i tried seeing if its hidden in the ui, but its not there…

thanks in advance,
nimrod

Hello @nmz,
The CLI checks if your folder architecture is correct. It throws an error because it does’t see the “routes” directory. A potential solution is to run forest schema:update at the same level of your “routes” directory.

hi @Alban_Bertolini ,

i tried that, it says it should be in the package.json level

thank you,
