FlywayException: Unable to scan for SQL migrations in location: classpath:db/migration

Question

I'm trying to start using flyway with maven integration but can't make it work.

I'm following the documentation seems to be very simple so no strange things seem to be done.

My pom.xml is the following:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

            <scope>compile</scope>
        </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</project>

I have the directory resources/db/migration/ without any migration yet.

When I issuing flyway:info on cygwin or cmd I got an flyway error:

$ mvn compile flyway:info

Can give me a hand on this?

Thans a lot.

This also happens if the compile goal is not executed before calling flyway:migrate. Actually this IS included in the quick start manual. It says:

mvn compile flyway:migrate

However if you miss that detail and start to just call mvn flyway:migrate, the SQL file will not get copied into the target directory (actually the target directory will not even exist) and you get this cryptic error.
