prisma can't find database url - node.js

Question

I'm using Prisma in node and I'm using docker.
When I try to create a new user in my database, it says that DATABASE_URL was not found but I declared it inside my env so I don't really know where I have this error.
server_container | Server is running on port 4000
server_container |
server_container | Invalid `prisma.user.create()` invocation in
server_container | /app/src/app.ts:18:36
server_container |
server_container | 15 const prisma = new PrismaClient();
server_container | 16
server_container | 17 const main = async () => {
server_container | → 18 const user = await prisma.user.create(
server_container | error: Environment variable not found: DATABASE_URL.

My docker docker-compose.yml looks like that:
version: '3.8'
services:
api:
build: .
container_name: server_container
ports:
- "4000:4000"
volumes:
- ./:/app
networks:
- api-pokemon-network
depends_on:
- db
db:
image: postgres:14
restart: always
environment:
POSTGRES_USER: ${POSTGRES_USER}
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: ${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}
POSTGRES_DB: ${POSTGRES_DB}
POSTGRES_PORT: ${POSTGRES_PORT}
volumes:
- data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
env_file:
- .env
command: -p ${POSTGRES_PORT}
networks:
- api-pokemon-network
ports:
- '${POSTGRES_PORT}:${POSTGRES_PORT}'
volumes:
data:
networks:
api-pokemon-network:
and this is my .env
POSTGRES_DB=postgres
POSTGRES_USER=postgres
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres_docker
POSTGRES_HOST=db
POSTGRES_PORT=54320
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://${POSTGRES_USER}:${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}#localhost:${POSTGRES_PORT}/${POSTGRES_DB}?schema=public

Answer 1

just run npx prisma generate. This will re-establish the link between schema.prisma and .env file.Make sure you make your DBURL within the backticks ``.
