Multiple schema - node_modules - prisma client

Hello, I have one monorepository with the following structure : /src /service1 /prisma prisma.schema /service2 /prisma prisma.schema I'm using only one Dockerfile, and a docker compose to expose both services. In dev environment, I want to be able to debug both services, but it seems that npx --yes prisma generate --schema src/service1/prisma/schema.prisma npx --yes prisma generate --schema src/service2/prisma/schema.prisma the second command will erase the content of the first command in the .prisma folder in node_modules. Is there any way to be able to generate prisma data from 2 different schemas ? so according to the order of my generates command, one service is working and not the other one. Any idea ?

Hi @JayPe 👋 Are you generating both schemas into a custom output directory?

Well, I just found a solution !!! In each schema.prisma file, I added the following

output   = "generated/client"

output   = "generated/client"

generator client {
  provider = "prisma-client-js"
  output   = "generated/client"
}

generator client {
  provider = "prisma-client-js"
  output   = "generated/client"
}

So the generated code is now stored in each "service" folder, and just added a git ignore like this It works like a charm

Hey, we just do this in both of our schema.prisma files

 output        = "../../node_modules/@prisma/client-mysql"

 output        = "../../node_modules/@prisma/client-mysql"

@David , thanks, I prefer to have it in my service folder under prisma folder, to ease the readability for new dev coming in the project and who does not know how prisma works
