Prisma in deno

I've been having a weird problem with Prisma, when running 100% on deno. Prisma mostly assumes you have a package.json in your project and the biggest problem is that deno just doesn't use it. When I try to run something like prisma generate, it shows the

Warning: [Prisma auto-install on generate] Prisma could not find a package.json file in the inferred project root Coding\JS\norslo. During the next step, when an auto-install of Prisma package(s) will be attempted, it will then be created by your package manager on the appropriate level if necessary.

, then just hangs forever (yes, I've waited for a while for it). Is there any fixes for that integration or is it just not supported now?

Anyone have ever had that problem?

I've created simple GitHub repository to run Deno 2 with Prisma https://github.com/tonidy/prisma-deno-example, currently Prisma is lack off ESM, need a workaround to use CJS in deno

I kinda forgot to reply here, but the problem persists even with that --unstable-detect-cjs flag I didn't send any messages bc I kinda gave up on prisma with deno, it just doesn't work properly

Works when you add

{
  "nodeModulesDir": "auto",
}

{
  "nodeModulesDir": "auto",
}

You'll now have a node_modules, but it prevents Prisma from yelling at you and in schema.prisma

generator client {
  provider        = "prisma-client-js"
  previewFeatures = ["deno"]
  output          = "../generated/client"
}

generator client {
  provider        = "prisma-client-js"
  previewFeatures = ["deno"]
  output          = "../generated/client"
}

That's all I have in the prisma file deno run -A --allow-scripts --unstable-detect-cjs npm:prisma@latest generate that was the command I ran

--no-engine or whatever the arg is

Sun「無用」OP•3d ago

prisma says nope

Sun「無用」OP•3d ago

I'm starting to think that prisma doesn't like me

Sun「無用」OP•3d ago

wait, it's a miracle, it actually failed now!

maybe you could find another way 😄

last time I tried it, i need to comment previewFeatures = ["deno"] . The settings only working with prisma accelerate in this tutorial https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm/prisma-client/deployment/edge/deploy-to-deno-deploy

I had a simlar error to the issue you are having. Try deleteing the prisma directories from your node_modules folder, running npm install and trying again. Also... - Use --unstable-detect-cjs when running your server. - Use engineType = "library" in your Prisma schema. - Use previewFeatures = ["deno"] in your Prisma schema. - When importing your client, use import { type PrismaClient } from "{path-to-generated}/generated/client/index.d.ts";
