Build Nest.js in docker got a Prisma erorr - node.js

Question

I am building an application in nest.js ,then I want to dockerize it by using docker, this is my docker file:
FROM node:14 AS builder
# Create app directory
WORKDIR /app
# A wildcard is used to ensure both package.json AND package-lock.json are copied
COPY package*.json ./
COPY prisma ./prisma/
# Install app dependencies
RUN npm install
COPY . .
RUN npm run build
FROM node:14
COPY --from=builder /app/node_modules ./node_modules
COPY --from=builder /app/package*.json ./
COPY --from=builder /app/dist ./dist
EXPOSE 3000
CMD [ "npm", "run", "start:prod" ]
Then when I run :
docker build -t medicine-api .
I got this erorr from prisma
Module '"#prisma/client"' has no exported member 'User'.
3 import { User } from '#prisma/client';
and this is my prisma.schema file
/ This is your Prisma schema file,
// learn more about it in the docs: https://pris.ly/d/prisma-schema
generator client {
provider = "prisma-client-js"
}
generator prismaClassGenerator {
provider = "prisma-class-generator"
dryRun = false
}
datasource db {
provider = "postgresql"
url = env("DATABASE_URL")
}
model User {
id Int #id #default(autoincrement())
phoneNumber String #unique
lastName String
firstName String
role Role
bio String?
certificate String?
pic String?
verified Boolean #default(false)
medicine Medicine[]
pharmacyMedicine PharmacyMedicine[]
medicineCategory MedicineCategory[]
pharmacyPackage PharmacyPackage[]
pharmacistOrder Order[] #relation("pharmacistOrder")
userOrder Order[] #relation("userOrder")
}
I try to fix this by searching through difference resource and website, then they recommend me to put npx prisma generate in my dockefil. But still I get another erorr here:
Error: Generator at prisma-class-generator could not start:
/bin/sh: 1: prisma-class-generator: not found
If you have any solutions , I am really happy to try. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You have to generate the prisma client by running the command
yarn prisma generate
this should come before the step of coping the prisma folder
so I would suggest to change the dockerFile to be
FROM node:14 AS builder
# Create app directory
WORKDIR /app
# A wildcard is used to ensure both package.json AND package-lock.json are copied
COPY package*.json ./
# Install app dependencies
RUN npm install
COPY . .
RUN yarn prisma generate
COPY prisma ./prisma/
RUN npm run build
FROM node:14
COPY --from=builder /app/node_modules ./node_modules
COPY --from=builder /app/package*.json ./
COPY --from=builder /app/dist ./dist
EXPOSE 3000
CMD [ "npm", "run", "start:prod" ]
the prisma generate step will make sure you will have the prisma client in your node_modules so that it can be used to migrate the prisma models
