Do I understand correctly that setting an output property for your generator block breaks something?
Where exactly do you get this error message?
I see you are using a dev version of 3.11.0. Does this also happen with 3.10.0?

[xygengcn]

@janpio yes，3.10.0、3.11.0、3.9.0 also happen，this error message will appear after i run script npm run dev。

prisma generate and prisma migrate normally

[janpio]

This is unexpected, as this functionality is probably used by many people and no one has reported this before.

Does this also happen when you create a new project with npx prisma init? If so, please put it on GitHub and post the link so we can reproduce.

yes，also 3.11.0 dev

[janpio]

This seems to be a special case when the output value is exactly client. When I set any other value (e.g. foo) and update the import in my script.ts to import { PrismaClient } from './prisma/foo' to reflect that, everything works as expected.

Can you confirm?

[xygengcn]

Yeath！ Using foo instead of client，everything works as expected. @janpio

[janpio]

Thanks. We will treat this as a bug, I updated the issue title to make it easier to understand.

Closing as already fixed in latest releases.
