sequelize-cli db:migrate doesn't generate association table - node.js

Question

I have a User model (with associated migration file created by sequelize-cli):
'use strict';
module.exports = (sequelize, DataTypes) => {
const User = sequelize.define('User', {
dispName: DataTypes.STRING,
email: DataTypes.STRING,
phoneNum1: DataTypes.STRING
}, {});
User.associate = function (models) { // associations added manually
User.belongsToMany(models.Role, { through: 'UserRoles', foreignKey: 'userId' });
};
return User;
};
here's the generated migration file:
'use strict';
module.exports = {
up: (queryInterface, Sequelize) => {
return queryInterface.createTable('Users', {
cognitoId: { // modified: was an auto-incrementing integer
allowNull: false,
primaryKey: true,
type: Sequelize.STRING(100)
},
dispName: {
type: Sequelize.STRING(100) // modified: was just plain STRING
},
email: {
type: Sequelize.STRING(100) // modified: was just plain STRING
},
phoneNum1: {
type: Sequelize.STRING(15) // modified: was just plain STRING
},
createdAt: {
allowNull: false,
type: Sequelize.DATE
},
updatedAt: {
allowNull: false,
type: Sequelize.DATE
}
});
},
down: (queryInterface, Sequelize) => {
return queryInterface.dropTable('Users');
}
};
and a Role model (with associated migration file created by sequelize-cli):
'use strict';
module.exports = (sequelize, DataTypes) => {
const Role = sequelize.define('Role', {
name: DataTypes.STRING
}, {});
Role.associate = function (models) { // associations added manually
Role.belongsToMany(models.User, { through: 'UserRoles', foreignKey: 'roleId' });
};
return Role;
};
here's the generated migration file for Role:
'use strict';
module.exports = {
up: (queryInterface, Sequelize) => {
return queryInterface.createTable('Roles', {
id: {
allowNull: false,
autoIncrement: true,
primaryKey: true,
type: Sequelize.INTEGER
},
name: {
type: Sequelize.STRING(100), // modified: was just plain STRING
unique: true // Added manually
},
createdAt: {
allowNull: false,
type: Sequelize.DATE
},
updatedAt: {
allowNull: false,
type: Sequelize.DATE
}
});
},
down: (queryInterface, Sequelize) => {
return queryInterface.dropTable('Roles');
}
};
When I run sequelize-cli db:migrate, the table UserRoles is not created. Why is that?
The Associations page of the Sequelize manual seems to suggest that defining the associations in the model file is all that is required...
Research:
I seem to have done what is suggested in this answer to the question Sequelize not creating model association columns but doesn't seem to be working for me (the answer isn't accepted either).
Not quite what I need: Querying association tables in Sequelize
Nor this: Sequelize how to use association table?
