Getting "Failed to parse syntax of config file" error following CONTRIBUTING.md setup

Hi everyone!

I'm working on my first contribution to Prisma and following the setup instructions in

CONTRIBUTING.md

CONTRIBUTING.md

. I've successfully set up my sandbox environment (

sandbox/my-repro

sandbox/my-repro

), but I'm running into a validation error with the config file.

Issue:
The template

prisma.config.ts

prisma.config.ts

that came with the sandbox folder throws a parsing error when running:

pnpm dbpush
> basic-sqlite@ dbpush /Path-to-repo/prisma/sandbox/my-repro
> prisma db push --skip-generate

Failed to parse syntax of config file at "/Path-to-repo/prisma/sandbox/my-repro/prisma.config.ts"
 ELIFECYCLE  Command failed with exit code 1.

pnpm dbpush
> basic-sqlite@ dbpush /Path-to-repo/prisma/sandbox/my-repro
> prisma db push --skip-generate

Failed to parse syntax of config file at "/Path-to-repo/prisma/sandbox/my-repro/prisma.config.ts"
 ELIFECYCLE  Command failed with exit code 1.

The problematic config (from the template):

export default {
  earlyAccess: true,
  schema: './prisma/schema.prisma',
  migrate: {
    adapter: async () => {
      return Promise.resolve({
        adapterName: '@prisma/adapter-mock-sqlite',
      })
    }
  }
}

export default {
  earlyAccess: true,
  schema: './prisma/schema.prisma',
  migrate: {
    adapter: async () => {
      return Promise.resolve({
        adapterName: '@prisma/adapter-mock-sqlite',
      })
    }
  }
}

What works:
When I replace it with a minimal config, it works fine:

import { defineConfig } from '@prisma/config'

export default defineConfig({
  schema: './prisma/schema.prisma',
})

import { defineConfig } from '@prisma/config'

export default defineConfig({
  schema: './prisma/schema.prisma',
})

My Analysis:
Looking at the validation code in

packages/config/src/PrismaConfig.ts

packages/config/src/PrismaConfig.ts

, and then following the root cause, I think the issue is:

1.

earlyAccess

earlyAccess

is not a recognized property (should be

experimental

experimental

?)
2.

migrate

migrate

should be

migrations

migrations

?
3. The

adapter

adapter

config structure doesn't match the expected schema

Questions:

- Is the sandbox template config outdated?
- What's the correct way to set up a basic sandbox for development following CONTRIBUTING.md?
- Should I submit a PR to update the sandbox templates to match the current validation schema?

Any guidance would be appreciated!
