Hi @techy-ashir 👋

The error message "PrismaClient is unable to run in this browser environment, or has been bundled for the browser (running in unknown)" typically occurs when you're trying to run Prisma Client in a browser environment.

Prisma Client is designed to run in a server-side environment and does not work in the browser.

If you're using Next.js, there are specific ways to ensure Prisma runs on the server-side:

• If you're using the Next.js app router, add "use server" at the top of your file.
• If you're using the Next.js pages router, keep the files that import Prisma or contain any Prisma query function inside the /api directory.

This is because Prisma does not work on the client side as the browser does not execute SQL queries. Prisma has to be added with your Node.js app or inside the backend functions of Next.js.

If this answers your question, it would be great if you could mark this Discussion as answered to indicate that it has been resolved.

Otherwise please let us know how else we can help you further or close the Discussion if it was resolved in some other way 🙏

I got this issue since 5.11.0. I am using vite to build a node js application.

Since 5.11.0 it doesnt seem to work anymore.
