What you did

I noticed that the migration create command is not creating the required folders anymore.
To resolve the issue, i simply created the two folders:

mkdir -p plugins/FooModule/config/Migrations
mkdir -p plugins/FooModule/config/Seeds

Expected Behavior

Create the Migrations and Seeds folder instead of throwing a cryptic error message

Actual Behavior

$ bin/cake migrations create -p FooModule Initial
using migration paths
using seed paths
PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Exception: You probably used curly braces to define migration path in your Phinx configuration file, but no directories have been matched using this pattern. You need to create a migration directory manually. in /opt/openitc/frontend/vendor/robmorgan/phinx/src/Phinx/Console/Command/Create.php:111

@nook24 I have tested and it creates directories correctly for both app and plugin. Could you please check if you have debug set to false since it won't create folders if debug=false

[ajibarra]

Maybe instead of leaving phinx manage this, we could alert user that folders don't exist and debug is disabled so folders must be created manually. What do you think @markstory?

[nook24]

I didn't know that debug has to be enabled for this. So probably it was not set to true. Is this a new behavior? I manage the debug value through an environment variable which is most of the time not set to true on the CLI to be honest. So I'm wondering that I never noticed this before.

When setting debug=true, everything works as expected.

Would be good if the migration plugin would output a more helpful error message
