Question: Is it possible to disable checksum for steps?

[j0meinaster]

I love mongration and the possibility to run migration scripts.

I currently did some refactoring to my application code and moved some files to a new directory, which are also required in my mongration script. Now the checksum fails, because the require(...) changed.

Is there a way to disable checksum? Or is it a bad idea to require(..) other classes anyway?

The only workaround I know is replacing the checksum in all mongodbs..

Hey @j0meinaster, thanks for this issue!

The checksum does a md5 on the file, so, in fact, the checksum was really changed:

mongration/src/steps/step-file-reader.js

Lines 18 to 23 in 90eaa25

	StepFile.prototype.read = function(){
	this.content = fs.readFileSync(this.path, {encoding : 'utf8'});
	this.checksum = md5(this.content);
	return this;
	}

#41 is a PR that allows us to disable checksum, however, I haven't had time to merge that yet (will look to that in the next days/hours).

@wmartins What is the status of this PR? I need to replace a migration step in my application an for that either need the possibility to skip an existing migration step or change the checksums.

I created a new pull request for this issue
#52

@wmartins are you still planning to merge one of the available PRs (#41 #52) to disable checksums? We need this functionality to edit some of our older migrations
