Sequelize findOrCreate() does not create an object

Question

I'm moving the JSON api of my Rails app to Node.js. I'm using Sequelize as the ORM to access my data in my postgres DB.

However, when I try to use the findOrCreate() and it needs to create an record, something weird happen:

INSERT INTO "gameweeks" ("id","number","gw_pts","transfers","transfers_malus","team_id","captain_id","vice_captain_id","in_bank","team_value","overall_rank") VALUES (NULL,16,NULL,NULL,NULL,6,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL) RETURNING *;
Executing (default): SELECT * FROM "gameweeks" WHERE "gameweeks"."team_id"=12 AND "gameweeks"."number"=16 LIMIT 1;

It seems it tries to create a record without any id and thus it throw the error

error: null value in column "id" violates not-null constraint

When it doesn't need to create a record (update or just read data) it works fine.

here is my code:

sequelize options

sequelize = new Sequelize('dashboard_development', 'dashboard', null, {
  dialect: "postgres",
  port:    5432,
  define: {
    underscored: true,
    timestamps: false
  },
  sync: { force: true }
})

Model

gameweek.js:

module.exports = function(sequelize, DataTypes) {
  return sequelize.define('gameweek', {
    number: DataTypes.INTEGER,
    gw_pts: DataTypes.INTEGER,
    transfers: DataTypes.INTEGER,
    transfers_malus: DataTypes.INTEGER,
    team_id: DataTypes.INTEGER,
    captain_id: DataTypes.INTEGER,
    vice_captain_id: DataTypes.INTEGER,
    in_bank: DataTypes.FLOAT,
    team_value: DataTypes.FLOAT,
    overall_rank: DataTypes.INTEGER
  });
};

its associations:

global.db.Gameweek.belongsTo(global.db.Team)
.hasMany(global.db.Player, {as: "substitutes", joinTableName: "gameweeks_substitutes"})
.hasMany(global.db.Player, {joinTableName: "gameweeks_players"})
.belongsTo(global.db.Player, {as: "captain", foreignKey: "captain_id"})
.belongsTo(global.db.Player, {as: "vice_captain", foreignKey: "vice_captain_id"})

and the code where I use findOrCreate:

db.Team.find({where: {fpl_id: fplTeamId}}).complete(function (err, team){
    if (err) throw err;
    db.Gameweek.findOrCreate({team_id: team.id, number: gwNumber}).complete(function (err, gameweek, created) {
        if (err) throw err;
        // Do stuff with the returned gameweek
    })
})  

Can anybody help or point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

can you try this:

sequelize = new Sequelize('dashboard_development', 'dashboard', null, {
  dialect: "postgres",
  port:    5432,
  define: {
    underscored: true,
    timestamps: false
  },
  sync: { force: true },
  omitNull: true
})
