Same issue, v2.1.3 was working fine (and still is), upgrading to 2.2.0

You most likely forgot to initialize the Prisma Client. Please run prisma2 generate …

Could you add which version of nexus-plugin-prisma is breaking (and any other Prisma / Nexus related things)?

The reason for this is very likely to be because you have kept your prisma dependencies installed. nexus-plugin-prisma bundles its own Prisma dependencies, so you must uninstall all prisma related dependencies from your project

Without a reproduction, we really can’t do anything here. Inspect the prisma version using yarn why and make sure you don’t have anything worth investigating there

npm list might also be interesting here so we can get an overview what packages exactly are installed.

For me it was something else in case somebody still has problems:

I had to remove output = "./generated/client" from my schema.prisma (which was a left over from using the client directly before nexus), so npx prisma generate actually creates the client in the right location.

In my case I was using a custom path for the generated types which didn’t update the @prisma/client. However, as I am using a monorepo I was able to simply point out the generated/index.js and generated/index.d.ts as the "main" and "types" files in my package.json. Then instead of importing @prisma/client I would import this package with eg @my-app/db.

I had the same problem — I was using Nexus with Prisma. sreuter’s solution worked for me.

Check the database server you have connected. I was using Postgresql and when I was running NestJS I got this error because Postgres server was not up.
So check if the server you are connecting NestJS to is up.

yarn run prisma generate —schema=./src/prisma/schema.prisma is all I had to do

well!It’s been a long time.first,you should execute npm install prisma,remember the prisma’s version must the same as ‘@prisma/client’,you can see the version in package.json.and then add the script «postinstall»: «prisma generate —schema=./prisma/schema.mysql.prisma» in package.json.at last,you can execute npm run postinstall,that’s effective for me!

I had the same problem. I’m using ubuntu 20.10

First I deleted node_modules, then installed it again.

Second, I installed the prisma globally.
npm install -g prisma

but I did it with sudo, so it was like this sudo npm install -g prisma

then I tested the prisma command, in the terminal to see if everything was ok.

now I must generate the prisma client.

I did as follows

sudo prisma generate
