Problem
I added a new field to my model, got it working locally with no issues, and deployed it as per usual on Heroku. The build succeeded but the server crashed. Got the following error:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'register' of undefined
The error seems to be coming from a file index.js that doesn’t exist in my migrations folder - /app/node_modules/strapi-connector-bookshelf/lib/migrations/index.js:6:24
Here’s the detailed error logs from Heroku logs:

What I tried:
I deleted the new field for the content-type and tried to deploy strapi again. Same server crash issue. So it’s not the new field that’s causing the rror.
I deleted my cache, build, package-lock.json, and node_modules folder. Did a fresh install npm install. Now the server crash error is happening locally running npm run develop. Here’s the error message:

What seems to the the cause:
The undefined variable from the error is strapi.db.migrations from the file in strapi-connector-bookshelf node_module node_modules/strapi-connector-bookshelf/lib/migrations/index.js:6:24. Here’s the code:
const draftAndPublish = require('./draft-publish');
module.exports = () => {
strapi.db.migrations.register(draftAndPublish);
};
Advice needed:
Has anyone experienced this before? What might be some general steps to try to debug this?
Hoping for some broad pointers that I can research more on my own. Thank you!
