Error: @prisma/client did not initialize yet. Please run "prisma generate"

Question

I am having a problem with my nodeJS back-end. I want to create a docker compose environment but I keep getting this error when I try to start my Prisma NodeJS app. I already tried lots of things and I can't find any usable solutions on Google. The application works without docker.

Docker compose file:

  endbit-express:
    container_name: endbit-express
    build: ./endbit-express
    volumes:
      - ./endbit-express:/app
      - /app/node_modules
    ports:
      - 8080:8080
    depends_on:
      - mysql
    environment:
      - DATABASE_URL=mysql://root:root@localhost:3306/endbit
    networks:
      - endbit

  mysql:
    container_name: endbit-mysql
    image: mysql:8.0.28
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 6033:3306
    environment:
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=endbit
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root
    volumes:
      - dbdata:/var/lib/mysql
    networks:
      - endbit

Docker file:

FROM node:17.4.0

WORKDIR /app

COPY package*.json ./
COPY prisma ./prisma

RUN npm install

COPY . .

RUN prisma generate

EXPOSE 8080

CMD ["npm", "start"]

The volumes: mounts hide basically everything that the Dockerfile sets up; does deleting that block help? You will also run into connectivity problems since the Dockerfile won't be able to connect to the database (e.g., NestJS in Docker can't do a Prisma Migrate on Postgres in another Docker Container). If you can check the generated files into source control that might be the simplest approach. — David Maze

Eventually I found the answer myself: I am using a docker compose file, and Docker doesn't recognize the localhost:3306 URL. In docker compose you need to link the containers by their name, so I changed the backend component environment with this (host = docker service name):

environment:
  - DB_HOST=mysql
  - DB_USER=root
  - DB_PASSWORD=root
  - DB_NAME=endbit-express
  - DB_PORT=3306
