Prisma Client errors on NixOS channell 24.11

Question

I am running NixOS on channel 24.11 (newest stable at the time of wiriting).

I have installed system wide packages prisma-engines and prisma but when I try to run either prisma studio or my code which interacts with the database i get:

Example error from prisma studio

Message: Error in Prisma Client request: 

Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'bind')
  
Query:
{
  "modelName": "EmailRequest",
  "operation": "findMany",
  "args": {
    "take": 100,
    "skip": 0,
    "select": {
      "id": true,
      "name": true,
      "email": true,
      "subject": true,
      "content": true,
      "createdAt": true,
      "sentAt": true
    }
  }
}
  

My docker container is running and is working on Windows and MacOS. I have ran prisma generate and prisma migrate deploy successfully.

my configuration.nix prisma part looks like this:

{ config, pkgs, ... }:

{
  # ...

  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
      # ...
      prisma-engines
      prisma
      # ...
    ];

  # ...

  environment.sessionVariables = with pkgs; {
    PRISMA_FMT_BINARY = "${prisma-engines}/bin/prisma-fmt";
    PRISMA_QUERY_ENGINE_BINARY = "${prisma-engines}/bin/query-engine";
    PRISMA_QUERY_ENGINE_LIBRARY = "${prisma-engines}/lib/libquery_engine.node";
    PRISMA_SCHEMA_ENGINE_BINARY = "${prisma-engines}/bin/schema-engine";
    PRISMA_INTROSPECTION_ENGINE_BINARY = "${prisma-engines}/bin/introspection-engine";
  };

  # ...
}

Checked on Widnows and MacOs - both work.

Answer 1

I have figured it out.

On the current stable channel the prisma-engines is in version 5.22. My @prisma/client was in version 6.1.0. This mismatch causes issues with prisma client. Downgrading to 5.22, removing package-lock.json and node_modules and installing everything again (inside the developement repository) worked.

For anyone curious, at the time of wiritng, latest unstable prisma-engines is in version 6.0.1.
