Error: @prisma/client did not initialize yet.

Hello everybody!
I'm working on a small nextjs project and ran into this error, after entering my info and going to my dashboard page:
Error: @prisma/client did not initialize yet. Please run "prisma generate" and try to import it again.
export const client = globalThis.prisma || new PrismaClient()

I've tried running the command again, deleting node modules and installing everything again to no avail. Can anybody help out?
Solution
I had a similar issue, and I think I solved it by setting up a separate Prisma client file that looks like this

import { PrismaClient } from "@prisma/client";

let prisma: PrismaClient;

declare global {
  var prisma: PrismaClient | undefined;
}

if (process.env.NODE_ENV === "production") {
  prisma = new PrismaClient();
} else {
  if (!global.prisma) {
    global.prisma = new PrismaClient();
  }
  prisma = global.prisma;
}

export default prisma;


Then I just import prisma from @/lib/prisma.ts wherever I want to use the client.
