Problem with Prisma

this is my controller async function signUp(req: Request, res: Response) { req.body.password = await hashPassword(req.body.password); req.body.birthDate = new Date(req.body.birthDate).toISOString(); try { delete req.body.repeat_password; const user = await User.createUser(req.body); res.status(200).json(user); } catch (error) { if (error instanceof PrismaClientKnownRequestError) res.status(400).json({ code: error.code, message: error.message }); else if (error instanceof Error) res.status(400).json({ message: error.message || "Error Signing up user", }); else res.status(400).json(error); } } and this is my model function import { Prisma, PrismaClient } from "@prisma/client"; const prisma = new PrismaClient(); async function createUser(user: User) { try { const result = await prisma.user.create({ data: { username: user.username, birthDate: user.birthDate, password: user.password, }, }); return result; } catch (error) { if (error instanceof Prisma.PrismaClientKnownRequestError) throw error; throw error; } } when i request to sign up user it return this error { "message": "\nInvalid prisma.user.create() invocation in\nC:\\Users\\ghera\\OneDrive\\Desktop\\GithubRepo\\Book_Tracker\\server\\src\\models\\userModel.ts:29:38\n\n 26 \n 27 async function createUser(user: User) {\n 28 try {\n→ 29 const result = await prisma.user.create(\nerror: Environment variable not found: DATABASE_URL." } i tried other functions and they work fine ( as expected ) retrieving books from data works fine etc...

Environment variable not found: DATABASE_URL. Looks like you're missing an environment variable

other queries run just fine they connect to the same database using the same database_url even running npx prisma db pull and npx prisma migrate is fine btw hardcoing it in this specific model seems to work const prisma = new PrismaClient({ datasources: { db: { url: "prisma+postgres://accelerate.prisma-data.net/?api_key=SOMERANDOMLETTERsI", }, }, }); what triggers me the most why only this specific model is throwing this error other models work fine

couldn't you do url: env(DATABASE_URL) or something?

i have a prisma.schema file generator client { provider = "prisma-client-js" } datasource db { provider = "postgresql" url = env("DATABASE_URL") } and three other models that connect normally they get the url from prisma.schema ( i followed the docs ) but the User Model cant find the URL for some reason and keep throwing that error
