Hey there!  
I want to setup a test database that I would be using while running integration tests on Circle CI. I am using docker containers.  
Right now, I’m using the recommended way (import a sql file to the `circle_test` database and everything works):

```auto
database:
  override:
    - mysql -u ubuntu circle_test < test/data/test-database.sql

```

But now I’d like instead of that, to use `db-migrate` module from NPM. I have my config in place but it looks like the command is run from outside the container or smth like this, because the modules are not found

```auto
database:
  override:
    - ./node_modules/db-migrate/bin/db-migrate .......

```

All i get is not found error.  
Could you maybe advise how can i overcome this issue and be able to use `db-migrate` ?  
Thank you!
