For a production project of ours I want to run Prisma 1 and Prisma 4 side by side which should be possible according to https://www.prisma.io/docs/guides/upgrade-guides/upgrade-from-prisma-1/how-to-upgrade#upgrade-strategies. However, when I try to run any prisma 4 command like

init

I get an error saying a Prisma 1 project was detected and the command is aborted 😕 Does anyone know how to work around this?

Hey Nino 👋🏾 Have you installed Prisma 1 CLI globally on your machine? This could lead to the “wrong” command being called

I did but the same error still remains after uninstalling the cli globally (and even restarting my laptop) 😞

The error is thrown when a

prisma.yml

file exists according to this: https://github.com/prisma/prisma/blob/e8136ea6f62582ed49b5549108283c0a45e4e422/packages/cli/src/utils/detectPrisma1.ts. If it should be possible to run Prisma 1 and Prisma2+ side by side shouldn’t it be allowed for that file to exist? Or should I remove the

prisma.yml

, check all the required GraphQL files and generated types into source control and then continue setting up Prisma 2?

Hey Nino, I’ve forwarded your question to my colleagues to help figure this out 🙂

Hey Nino, sorry you're running into this. I haven't seen this one before but I recommend trying your suggestion – temporarily rename

prisma.yml

and generate your prisma client, than rename it as

prisma.yml

again

Renaming the

prisma.yml

file works just fine 👍 Maybe renaming the

prisma.yml

file should be documented somewhere because it is definitely still necessary when upgrading, for example when running the

prisma-upgrade

cli tool.
