I had the same hiccups today that I had last week. My migrations got out of sync, one of them failed, and I scrambled to get it all working again. The post form last week saved my ass.
The original schema had some naming problems. In the assessment table, userId was userId. In the proposals and repairs table, it was user_id. Thus, when I decided not to drop these columns but to hold onto the data, I just renamed each with a post-fix old – a silly oversight because they should really all be userIdOld. instead, they became userId_old and user_id_old. blah blah I did a bunch of little migrations in dev to try to fix it, prisma kept autogenerating to drop a bunch of shit.
maybe I should start each post with an interpretive problem, or the thing the specific problem I was trying to solve that day, and then write a little how to guide? it’s more fun to just sort of ramble, but the other way would probably help me get more out of these / give them a little more structure / make me articulate what it is i’m actually doing.
