Error: #prisma/client did not initialize yet. Please run "prisma generate" - node.js

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"]

Answer 1

add RUN npm i -g prisma before RUN prisma generate it should work

Answer 2

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
