The prisma deploy command with a get-schema hook does not download the generated folder

[christiannwamba]

Bug Report

Current behavior

Running prisma deploy on the root of my project fails to generate code but succeeds when I move .graphqlconfig.yml to the database folder and runs the deploy command on the database folder

Reproduction

A simple Prisma setup in the master branch of the following repository generates the generated folder when running prisma deploy:

https://github.com/christiannwamba/hackernews-node

On the other hand, it fails when you try it on the generated branch:

https://github.com/christiannwamba/hackernews-node/tree/generated

Expected behavior?

The generated branch should behave like the master branch by generating the generated folder in the specified directory.

@christiannwamba, I tried your approach but still cant get it to update or generate those files

@christiannwamba Thanks for raising this issue! However, I was not able to reproduce this with the provided reproduction instructions - the files are correctly generated for me in both branches. Can you please share your prisma version?

Mine is

divyendusingh [hackernews-node]$ prisma --version
prisma/1.8.3 (darwin-x64) node-v8.4.0

Thanks!

[christiannwamba]

Really? That's weird. If you cloned and it worked on both branches then I might be getting something wrong

It runs the deploy hook but nothing is generated.

[christiannwamba]

@divyenduz It works on node 9.4 but fails on 10.2.1 and 8.4. I am surprised it works on 8.4 for you.

[divyenduz]

Thanks for the additional information, can you please tell me what OS are you on?

Most likely, it is an issue around https://github.com/substack/node-mkdirp, see if you can try and replicate the issue by creating nested directories in this package.

[christiannwamba]

I am using Mac OS 10.13.

Where do you want me to create the nested directories? In the project's src folder? Not sure I got the instructions :)

[divyenduz]

Ah! my bad! so, under the hood, we use this library to create the provided path. Maybe on your OS you can try to create src/generated/someFolder i.e. nested path to try and replicate but I am also on Mac OS 10.13, so, I think it is something else. For now, I am unable to replicate, will take another look.

[christiannwamba]

Ok, no problem. At least it works for a particular version so that's progress for anyone who runs into the issue. Thank you!

I encountered this using the typescript boilerplate. I believe hit this issue: #2494

• Node version 8.10.0
• prisma version 1.8.3
• OS Windows 10

So I:

• Downgraded prisma-binding package to v1.5.19, change
• Changed .graphqlconfig to have

      prepare-binding:
        output: src/generated/prisma.ts
        generator: prisma-ts

instead of codegen however the prisma deploy command still did not auto gen.

So I had to manually run graphql get-schema --project database and then graphql prepare to auto generate the files, which worked.

Note that the node boilerplate also has the issue of not autogenerating so running graphql get-schema --project database still needs to be a manual task.

It does say it is running the command:

post-deploy:
Running graphql get-schema --project database √

but it does not auto generate the files. Maybe there is a swallowed error happening.

I ran into this bug while following the Build a GraphQL tutorial (step #10), I got it working by creating the src/generated folder but I'm not sure if that should be specified on the docs or if this is a bug that should be addressed somewhere else.

Related issue - #2362

@christiannwamba: Can you please confirm if the following command works when run manually?

graphql get-schema --project database or graphql get-schema --project prisma with project name changing based on the project name in graphql config. I observed that it is different in master and generated branch.

[christiannwamba]

THIS IS EXACTLY THE ISSUE :)

Apparently, when switching to different node versions with nvm, the global npm modules are not shared across the different versions. For this reason, graphql-cli is only available in the node version instance that I installed it on (v9.4).

When you switch to another version, the CLI commands are not run/working and according to #2362 the error that would have told us what went wrong (not installed) is swallowed.

Doing npm install --save-dev graphql-cli solves the issue of inconsistency

[divyenduz]

Noted. Thanks :)

So, since we already have an open issue to resolve this I am closing this one in favor of that.

Thanks again!
