Loopback discoverAndBuildModels not generating models

Question

I\'m trying to get Loopback to discover and build my first table. I\'ve used the simple example on their page at the bottom here:

Building off of @Underskay's answer, I did something like

var fs = require('fs');
var app = require(__dirname + '/server/server');

function makePromise(f, parent) {
    return function(...args) {
        return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
            f.call(parent, ...args, (err, ...data) => {
                if (err) return reject(err);
                resolve(data.length === 1 ? data[0] : data);
            });
        });
    };
}

var readFile = makePromise(fs.readFile, fs);
var writeFile = makePromise(fs.writeFile, fs);

function writeSchemas(schemas) {
    return Promise.all(schemas.map(data => {
        var schema = data[Object.keys(data)[0]];
        return writeFile('common/models/' + schema.name + '.json', JSON.stringify(schema, null, '\t'));
    }))
        .then(() => readFile('server/model-config.json'))
        .then(JSON.parse)
        .then(conf => {
            for (let schema of schemas)
                conf[schema[Object.keys(schema)[0]].name] = { "dataSource": "mysql" };
            return conf;
        })
        .then(conf => writeFile('server/model-config.json', JSON.stringify(conf, null, '\t')));
}

function getSchemas(ds) {
    var discoverSchemas = makePromise(ds.discoverSchemas, ds);
    return makePromise(ds.discoverModelDefinitions, ds)({})
        .then(tables => Promise.all(tables.map(t => discoverSchemas(t.name, { relations: true }))))
        .then(data => { ds.disconnect(); return data; });
}

Promise.resolve(app.datasources.mysql)
    .then(ds => getSchemas(ds))
    .then(schemas => writeSchemas(schemas))
    .catch(err => log.error(err));
