# NEXTLY_MIGRATION_SNAPSHOT_MISSING

`nextly migrate:resolve --applied` has no snapshot to compare the live schema with.

## Cause

`nextly migrate:resolve --applied` has no snapshot to compare the live schema with.

`nextly migrate:resolve --applied` records a file as applied only once the live schema matches the snapshot `migrate:create` wrote beside it in `meta/`. The file has no snapshot, so there is nothing to compare against.

## Fix

* Restore the snapshot from version control if it was deleted, then run the command again.
* If the file never had one, such as a hand-written migration, and you know its statements have run, re-run with `--skip-verify`.

## Example

```text
✗ No paired snapshot for 20261020_120000_add_posts.sql; cannot verify.
  Why:  `--applied` records a file once the live schema matches the snapshot `migrate:create` wrote beside it in `meta/`, and this file has none.
  Next: Re-run with --skip-verify to override.
