Help with the new Prisma Config "Migrations" Field Missing
Hey everyone
I'm trying to update my code and after running npm i I got Prisma version 6.11^ as part of the update. I knew they were going to deprecate the old method in package.json, but now I'm running into an issue.
Every tutorial and the official docs mention a field called migrations in the defineConfig method but I can't find it anywhere. When I try to use it I get the following error:
Object literal may only specify known properties and 'migrations' does not exist in type 'PrismaConfig<never>'
Here's my code
My main issue is that I want to customize where my seed file and the schema is placed but the docs don't seem to match the latest version of Prisma.
I also looked at the Prisma source code and found this type definition:
Can anyone help me figure out how I can properly set up a seed file or migrate configuration in the new setup? It seems like the migrations field is no longer valid.
Thanks in advance!
