Prisma doesn't generate files when running prisma init

Question

Running prisma init does not generate files. It not generates the 3 files below.

1. datamodel.graphql
2. docker-compose.yml
3. prisma.yml

end up getting this error:-

{
     "errors": [
     {
        "message": "Project not found: 'graphiql@default'",
        "code": 3016,
        "requestId": "local:api:cjh3r908l000s0834adw100sj"
     }
  ] 
}

Answer 1

I have also encountered this problem, and what worked for me was changing the Node version in my local.

When I used Node v14.x.x., when running $ prisma init <project_name>, no prisma files were generated

But when I changed my Node version to use v12.x.x or specifically v.12.19.1, everything went well as expected.

Thus, it's better when using Prisma 1, use Node v12.19.1 or any versions below v14.x.x.

If you're using nvm, just run these commands:

$ nvm install 12.19.1
$ nvm use 12.19.1
$ node -v                   // Check and confirm your node version

$ prisma init <project_name>
