Ошибка синхронизации с бд (sequelize)

Не могу понять почему не создалась таблица по описанию модели в конструкторе c помощью метода sync(). Код:

import { BasicRepository } from "../domain_service/BasicRepository.js";
import {Sequelize } from "sequelize";

export class ContactRepository extends BasicRepository{
    сontactModel;
    sequelize; 
    constructor(connectionString){
        super(); 
         this._connectionString = connectionString; 
         this.sequelize = new Sequelize(this._connectionString);
         this.сontactModel = this.sequelize.define('contact', 
         {  
            id: {
                type: Sequelize.INTEGER,
                autoIncrement: true,
                primaryKey: true,
                allowNull: false
            }, 
            firstName: {
                type: Sequelize.TEXT
            },
            lastName: {
               type: Sequelize.TEXT
            }, 
            email: {
                type: Sequelize.TEXT,
                unique: true
            }
        }
         );
         this.sequelize.sync().then(result=>{
          console.log(result);
        })
        .catch(err=> console.log(err));            
    }
    getAll(){
      return this.сontactModel.findAll({raw:true}); 
    }
    create(contact){
      this.сontactModel.create({firstName: contact.firstName,
                            lastName: contact.lastName,
                            email: contact.email}).then(res=>{
                            const newContact = {id: res.id, 
                                                firstName: res.firstName, 
                                                lastName: res.lastName, 
                                                email: res.email}
                            console.log(newContact);
                            }).catch(err=>console.log(err));
    };
    update(contact){
      this.сontactModel.update({
        firstName: contact.firstName, 
        lastName: contact.lastName,
        email: contact.email
      }, 
      {where: {
            id: contact.id 
        }
      }).then((res) => {
        console.log(res);
      }); 
    };
    delete(id){
      this.сontactModel.destroy({
            where: {
              id: id
            }
          }).then((res) => {
            console.log(res);
        });
    }
}
