Error validating datasource `db`: the URL must start with the protocol `prisma://`

Hello everyone! Im currently getting this problem that i descriped in the title. where when i try to run Prisma on cloudflare workers i tried the soultion from here "https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm/reference/prisma-client-reference#programmatically-override-a-datasource-url" but cant seem to get it to work .dev.vars DATABASE_URL="DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:@localhost:5432/postgres?schema=test" this is my prisma client

import { PrismaClient } from "@prisma/client/edge";

export const db = new PrismaClient({
  datasources: {
    db: {
      url: 'file:../src/dev.vars',
    },
  },
})

import { PrismaClient } from "@prisma/client/edge";

export const db = new PrismaClient({
  datasources: {
    db: {
      url: 'file:../src/dev.vars',
    },
  },
})

my schema.prisma

generator client {
  provider = "prisma-client-js"
  engineType = "binary"
}

datasource db {
  provider = "postgresql"
  url      = env("DATABASE_URL")
}

generator client {
  provider = "prisma-client-js"
  engineType = "binary"
}

datasource db {
  provider = "postgresql"
  url      = env("DATABASE_URL")
}

and when i try to add "prisma://" in the front it says "api key needed"

hmm I don't think that will work. DATABASE_URL="DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:@localhost:5432/postgres?schema=test" isn't a valid string, it should just be something like DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:@localhost:5432/postgres?schema=test but even then, there is no PostgreSQL database hosted at localhost on cloudflare workers. This documentation (specific to Cloudflare) might help.

Hey i done this and still dont work i still get "the URL must start with the protocol prisma://" i did prisma generate also im trying to set it up locally first or is that not going to work at all? i have now tried this way aswell

  fetch: async (request: Request, env: Environment, ctx: ExecutionContext) => {
    var prisma = await db(env.DATABASE_URL)

    env = { ...env, prisma }

    await app.fetch(request, env, ctx);
  },

  fetch: async (request: Request, env: Environment, ctx: ExecutionContext) => {
    var prisma = await db(env.DATABASE_URL)

    env = { ...env, prisma }

    await app.fetch(request, env, ctx);
  },

and then i tried to call it in my router like this

async (data: any, prisma: PrismaClient) => {
  const result = await prisma.search.create({
    data: {
      results: data.results,
      createdAt: data.createdAt,
      currentCycleIsDone: data.currentCycleIsDone,
      noMoreResults: data.noMoreResults,
      availableCycles: data.availableCycles,
      searchInput: data.searchInput
    }
  })

  console.log('Search created:', result)

  return result
}

async (data: any, prisma: PrismaClient) => {
  const result = await prisma.search.create({
    data: {
      results: data.results,
      createdAt: data.createdAt,
      currentCycleIsDone: data.currentCycleIsDone,
      noMoreResults: data.noMoreResults,
      availableCycles: data.availableCycles,
      searchInput: data.searchInput
    }
  })

  console.log('Search created:', result)

  return result
}

im using cloudflare workers + hono btw also updated the db that i export like this

export const db = (databaseUrl: string) => new PrismaClient({
  datasources: {
    db: {
      url: databaseUrl,
    },
  },
})

export const db = (databaseUrl: string) => new PrismaClient({
  datasources: {
    db: {
      url: databaseUrl,
    },
  },
})

This is happening locally? What command are you running to start your app? What version of @prisma/client are you using?

FaithOP•9mo ago

@Jon Harrell To start it wrangler dev src/index.ts and "@prisma/client": "5.12.1", i think im just going to use cloudflare d1

jonfanz•9mo ago

That will work a lot better. I'm not sure if there's a way to test a local DB against wrangler. Some will work: https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/databases/connecting-to-databases/ but in general, I'd say that D1 will be the most straightforward 🙂

Alright thank you so much!

Hello @Jon Harrell, I'm having the same issue error when deploying my Next application to Vercel. Everything works fine locally. I have triple-checked env variables on Vercel and they're the same as my env locally. I also get this error if I build the project and run prod environment locally without deploying to Vercel. Any idea what might cause this; and how to solve it?
