Recommendation

Status: CLOSE

Reasoning: PR #11711 (merged 2025-12-19) explicitly fixes the silent failure issue for D1 migration commands. The fix has been released and is available in current wrangler versions. Issue #11709, which described the exact same problem, was correctly closed by the PR.

Action: Close this issue as fixed by PR #11711.

Suggested Comment

This has been fixed in PR #11711 (wrangler 4.17.0+). Running D1 migration commands without a wrangler config file now shows a clear error message:

"No configuration file found. Create a wrangler.toml or wrangler.json file to define your D1 database."

Please upgrade to the latest wrangler version (npm install -g wrangler@latest) to get this fix. Closing as resolved.
