I need to update to the latest version of sequelize.js for a Node.js API.

my local development environment:

windows 10, node -v: v16.15.1, npm -v: 8.11.0,

"typescript": "4.6.4",
"sqlite3": "5.0.6",

I do the update from sequelize@5.22.0 to sequelize@6.21.0, then I have this error:

{
  code: "ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE",
  message: "The \"path\" argument must be of type string. Received null",
  stack: "TypeError: The \"path\" argument must be of type string. Received null
  at new NodeError (node:internal/errors:372:5)

  at listOnTimeout (node:internal/timers:559:17)
  at processTimers (node:internal/timers:502:7)"
}

I inspected the node_modules, then I can observe a difference between the wanted path node_modules\\sequelize\\src\\dialects\\sqlite\\connection-manager.js:70:25 and the current folder structure in my local development env.: C:\Users\ublai7c\vdm\repositories\stove\stove-declaration-api\node_modules\sequelize\lib\dialects\sqlite\connection-manager.js

I have try to rm -rf node_modules, then restart vs code, switch from git bash to powerShell,restart the computer then npm i, but I still have the same error.

I am having a hard time to find If the error coming from my local development env. or coming from the sequelize@6.21.0 ?

Any context or hypothesis would be approciated :)
