sequelize.import is not a function

As of now I was able to fix the issue by downgrading the sequelize module version in your package.json to "sequelize": "^5.22.3",. do let me know if it is also fixed on your side.

Edit: any sequelize version under < 6.0.0 should work as normal

The error is caused by using the sequelize import object. Instead you should use Node's built in CommonJS require function. So change this line in your models/index.js:

const model = sequelize['import'](path.join(__dirname, file))

to:

const model = require(path.join(__dirname, file))(sequelize, Sequelize.DataTypes)

You can also just regenerate the models directory and readd your models without the old index.js if you find that easier:

mv models models.bak && sequelize init:models && mv models.bak/index.js models.bak/index.js.bak && mv models.bak/* models/ && rm models.bak

That one liner will fix your problem if you have sequelize-cli installed globally. If you don't you can use this one:

npm i --save-dev sequelize-cli && mv models models.bak && npx sequelize init:models && mv models.bak/index.js models.bak/index.js.bak && mv models.bak/* models/ && rm models.bak

You may also need to update your config folder. I use a JavaScript config to inject ENVs, so I had to add to change my const config = require(... line to reflect that. If you used one of my one liners your old models/index.js file is now at index.js.bak if you need to grab any custom stuff from it.
