Linter error - multi file schema

Since I use the multi file schema, the linter show this error for all the models + db and client :"The generator "client" cannot be defined because a generator with that name already exists." / The model "x" cannot be defined because a model with that name already exists. How can I get rid of it ?

You're in no rush, so we'll let a dev step in. Enjoy your coffee, or drop into #ask-ai if you get antsy for a second opinion!

Can you show me your schema files?

Yes, here are the prisma schema folder, the prisma.config file and the main schema.prisma file where I added the generator and the datasource as recommended in the doc.

make a schema folder prisma/schema put all the schema files here make your prisma.config.ts like this

export default {
    schema: path.join("prisma", "schema"),
    migrations: {
        path: path.join("prisma", "migrations"),
    },
} satisfies PrismaConfig;

export default {
    schema: path.join("prisma", "schema"),
    migrations: {
        path: path.join("prisma", "migrations"),
    },
} satisfies PrismaConfig;

also you using the old generator try this instead

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

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

Updating to the new no-rust engine seemed to work. Thanks for your help
