TypeORM migration results in PostgreSQL error

Question

I am having an issue running migrations with TypeORM (with the intent of establishing my database for use in local development). In running a migration on the initialMigration.ts file (seen below), I encounter an error (also seen below).

Technologies:

• TypeORM
• PostgreSQL (Dockerized)

Notes:

• All migrations run successfully in both staging and prod environments.
• If I remove the initialMigration.ts file and run subsequent migrations, I encounter similar errors.
• debt_creditcard_bank_enum does not figure outside of this initialMigration.ts file: it is not included in the database schema as modelled by TypeORM entities.

Output Error

query failed: CREATE TYPE "debt_creditcard_bank_enum" AS ENUM('anz', 'bnz', 'kiwi_bank', 'asb', 'westpac')
error: error: type "debt_creditcard_bank_enum" already exists

Try to check your ormconfig file...And, make sure synchronize: false, migrationsRun: false is there for production. As,synchronize: false will make sure there is no data loss in production and migrationRun:false will make sure your connection won't try to run your migration query 2 times when you are running runMigration() function.
