Error When Creating Model in Sequelize

When I go to create the model as Andrew does in the video--I'm getting this error and have no idea what the issue might be. Anyone ever seen this problem?

C:\Users\crstu\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\sequelizecli\node_modules\yargs\yargs.js:1079

else throw err ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'toUpperCase' of undefined at eval (lodash.templateSources[0]:18:33) at Array.forEach (<anonymous>)

What's the rest of the stack trace? It's likely you passed in a bad value to sequalize somewhere that didn't cause an error until it was deep inside the sequalize's code.

You have an extra space between 'id:' and 'integer' at the end unlike all the others. This would cause any terminal/shell to split them as separate arguments.
