Unable to invoke prisma mutation to planetscale dev branch.

Dev branch was created on planetscale and the env variables are set to dev branch values.

npx prisma db push

npx prisma db push

works fine and succeeds. Looking at planetscale the new tables/fields are created but when I go to try to invoke the prisma mutation I get the error:

❌ tRPC failed on upload.uploadData:
Invalid `prisma.order.create()` invocation:


Error querying the database: Server error: `ERROR HY000 (1105): unavailable: unable to connect to branch BRANCH_NAME_HERE'

❌ tRPC failed on upload.uploadData:
Invalid `prisma.order.create()` invocation:


Error querying the database: Server error: `ERROR HY000 (1105): unavailable: unable to connect to branch BRANCH_NAME_HERE'

Also for whatever reason in the console on planetscale it says there's a syntax error when typing:

SELECT * FROM Mytable;

SELECT * FROM Mytable;

Any idea what's going on?

Solution:

(restarting the application again after

npx prisma db push

npx prisma db push

)

Did you try to use the PlanetScale proxy for Prisma?

Probably not. Not sure where to set that up.

It's more or less the instructions here: https://planetscale.com/docs/prisma/automatic-prisma-migrations. You basically use the PlanetScale CLI to connect to your branch and change the DATABASE_URL to use the connection Not sure if that would solve your issue 100%, but that's how I typically use PlanetScale + Prisma and have never had issues with mutations

Alright, I'll give that a shot. I was briefly skimming that while trying to figure things out. I was following along with Theo's T3 tutorial, but he doesn't implement anything with a separate dev environment or use the planetscale cli so wasn't sure if I needed to go that route.

Yeah the ERROR HY000 (1105): unavailable: unable to connect to branch BRANCH_NAME_HERE is a little suspect so not sure

EntaroOP•2y ago

I replaced the actual branch name for security reasons.

Kev•2y ago

Yeah, I just mean if your push succeeded then the query failing is a bit weird

EntaroOP•2y ago

Right? That's what's got me so confused.

Kev•2y ago

Did you happen to change your ENV file after you had started the application?

EntaroOP•2y ago

I restarted the application and the issue persists. Sigh, thought I did. Just tried again and now it works. facepalm
