- Load the environment variables with:
direnv allow
- We use the Jest test framework. Its CLI is powerful and removes the need for npm scripts mostly. For most cases this is what you need to know:
Note: the following command pnpm run test
can be used inside the packages folders like packages/client
. In the base folder you can only run pnpm run test
without extra arguments.
pnpm run test <fileNamePattern> -t <testNamePattern>
and to update snapshots use the -u option like this (the --
are required, anything after the dashes will be passed to Jest):
pnpm run test <fileNamePattern> -- -u
-
In
integration-tests
Jest'seach
feature is used. If you only want to run a subset of the test cases, simply leverage the-t
flag on the command line (see above point). For example inpackages/cli
here is how you would run Just thefindOne where PK
cases for sqlite integration:pnpm run jest integration.sqlite -t 'findOne where PK'
Something is broken? You built a new feature? It's time to write a test! But where?
Everything related to working with specific frameworks like Next.js or deploying to Netlify should be covered by an Ecosystem Test.
Everything that is more basic functionality like a specific query or feature, that doesn't need a platform specific test (yet) should get a test in the prisma/prisma
repo.
Rule of thumb: If you can write a test in prisma/prisma
, prefer that over a test in prisma/ecosystem-tests
.
In the prisma/prisma
repository we have a few places where you can write tests:
cli
- Tests for
prisma studio
,prisma version
,prisma format
,prisma generate
,prisma doctor
, loading .env files, testing the built cli
- Tests for

integration-tests
(Prisma Client & Introspection)- Integration tests for basic query and mutation functionality
- All databases that we support are covered here:
- mariadb
- mssql (SQL Server)
- mysql
- postgresql
- sqlite
- While these tests also test the client itself, they're rather just our base to make sure that basic query engine functionality actually works in the Prisma Client
- When you want to test very specific queries for a new feature, you can write a functional test in the
client
package, as that's usually easier
If the users did their homework and provide a reproduction repository, you usually just want to turn that into an integration test in the client
package.
If it's about an ugly error, that could be handled nicer, it should go into integration/errors
.
If it's about making sure, that a specific feature works as intended, you can create a new test case in integration/happy
.
The integration/happy/minimal
test is always a good start if you just want to test the JS interface of the client.
In case you want to test the actually generated client, have a look at the integration/happy/blog
test as an example.
Sometimes it may be useful to trigger a panic in the Rust binaries or libraries used by Prisma under the hood.
Most of the Rust artifacts are shipped as binaries, whereas query-engine
is shipped both as a library (by default) and as a binary (on demand).
To change the default Rust artifacts' type used under the hood, you can set the PRISMA_CLI_QUERY_ENGINE_TYPE
environment variable to either library
or binary
.

Functional tests in the client package are testing that all aspects of client and query engine work correctly. They strive to be as close as possible to the way client will be used in real project: they generate an actual client, talk to a real database, perform the type checks and generally test the client through its public API.
To create new test, run following command
pnpm new-test
You'll then be asked for the name of your test and list of providers you want to run this test on. If you opt out of testing any of the providers, you'll also have to specify the reason. New test will be created under test/functional/<name of the test>
directory.
Test consists of the 3 files:
- test matrix
_matrix.ts
- schema template
prisma/_schema.ts
- test suite
tests.ts
If you have related tests but different schemas, you can nest directories. For example, composite indexes have the following file structure:
composite-index/
-
list/
test.ts
_matrix.ts
prisma/
_schema.ts
-
named/
test.ts
_matrix.ts
prisma/
_schema.ts
_matrix.ts
file defines parameters for generating test suites. It can have as many parameters as necessary, but at minimum, it should define at least one provider.
This example matrix defines 2 test suites: one for the SQLite provider and one for MongoDB, while also providing some test data to use later for both providers:
import { defineMatrix } from '../_utils/defineMatrix'
export default defineMatrix(() => [
[
{
provider: 'sqlite',
testEmail: '[email protected]',
},
{
provider: 'mongodb',
testEmail: '[email protected]',
},
],
])
If the matrix has multiple dimensions, test suites will be generated for all permutations of the parameters. For example, the following matrix:
import { defineMatrix } from '../_utils/defineMatrix'
export default defineMatrix(() => [
[
{
provider: 'sqlite',
},
{
provider: 'postgresql',
},
],
[
{
providerFeatures: '',
},
{
providerFeatures: 'improvedQueryRaw',
},
],
])
Will generate following test suites:
{ provider: 'sqlite', providerFeatures: '' }
{ provider: 'sqlite', providerFeatures: 'improvedQueryRaw' }
{ provider: 'postgresql', providerFeatures: '' }
{ provider: 'postgresql', providerFeatures: 'improvedQueryRaw' }
prisma/_schema.ts
will be used for generating an actual schema for the test suite:
import { idForProvider } from '../../_utils/idForProvider'
import testMatrix from '../_matrix'
export default testMatrix.setupSchema(({ provider }) => {
return /* Prisma */ `
generator client {
provider = "prisma-client-js"
}
datasource db {
provider = "${provider}"
url = env("DATABASE_URI_${provider}")
}
model User {
id ${idForProvider(provider)}
}
`
})
setupSchema
callback receives all parameters from the matrix for a particular test suite as an argument.
idForProvider
is a helper function which returns a correct primary key definition for each of the supported providers.
tests.ts
contains actual tests for the suite:
import testMatrix from './_matrix'
// @ts-ignore at the moment this is necessary for typechecks
declare let prisma: import('@prisma/client').PrismaClient
testMatrix.setupTestSuite(
(suiteConfig, suiteMeta) => {
test('create', async () => {
await prisma.user.create({
data: {
// `testEmail` was defined in the example matrix before
// you can also use a constant here if you don't need
// unique email per provider
email: suiteConfig.testEmail,
},
})
})
},
{
optOut: {
// if you are skipping tests for certain providers, you
// have to list them here and specify the reason
from: ['mongodb'],
reason: 'The test is for SQL databases only',
},
},
)
This test will run for every permutation of the parameters from the matrix. Currently used combination is available via suiteConfig
parameter. Each suite will start with a clean already set up database, generated and initialized client, available via prisma
global. After suite is finished, database will be dropped and client instance will disconnect automatically.
pnpm test:functional:code
generates and runs the test suites, defined by test matrix. It does no typechecking, but prepares all necessary files for it.pnpm test:functional:types
runs typechecking on all the suites, generated bypnpm test:functional:code
command. If it reports any errors, you might want to examine generated test suite undertests/functional/<your test name>/.generated
directory to get a better diagnostic.pnpm test:functional
will run tests and perform type checks.
Sometimes different test matrix parameters will generate different TS types so, and as a result,
correct code for one suite config won't pass type checks for a different one. In that case, you
can use @ts-test-if
magical comment to conditionally skip type checks. For example:
// @ts-test-if: provider !== 'mongodb'
prisma.$queryRaw`...`
If JS expression, following @ts-test-if:
evaluates to truthy value, @ts-expect-error
will be
inserted in its place during the generation. All parameters from the test matrix can be used within that
expression.
This suite tests client for memory leaks. It works by repeatedly running test code in a loop and monitoring V8 heap usage after every iteration. If it detects that memory usage grows with a rate higher than the threshold, it will report a memory leak and fail the test.
To create a memory test you need 2 files:
- schema, located in
tests/memory/<your-test-name>/prisma/schema.prisma
file, which will be used for setting up the database. - test code,
tests/memory/<your-test-name>/test.ts
Tests are created using createMemoryTest
function:
import { createMemoryTest } from '../_utils/createMemoryTest'
//@ts-ignore
type PrismaModule = typeof import('./.generated/node_modules/@prisma/client')
void createMemoryTest({
async prepare({ PrismaClient }: PrismaModule) {
const client = new PrismaClient()
await client.$connect()
return client
},
async run(client) {
await client.user.findMany()
},
async cleanup(client) {
await client.$disconnect()
},
iterations: 1500,
})
createMemoryTest
accepts following options:
prepare(prismaModule)
is used for any setup code, needed by the test. It is executed only once. Return value of this function will be passed intorun
andcleanup
methods.run(prepareResult)
- actual test code. It is expected that after executing this function, memory usage does not increase. This function is repeatedly executed in a loop while the test runs.cleanup(prepareResult)
used for cleaning up any work, done inprepare
function.iterations
specifies the number of executions ofrun
function, for which memory measurement will be done, default is 1000. On top of that, test setup also adds 100 iterations for warming up.
pnpm test:memory

By default, you get the engines that are downloaded on postinstall in @prisma/engines
thanks to @prisma/engines-version
.
However, you may want to use a custom engine via from a branch in prisma/prisma-engines
, or one that you've built locally.
You will need to have installed the Rust toolchain and just a few extra dependencies. See Building Prisma Engines.
- Edit
prisma/packages/fetch-engine/package.json
-
Either, add a
branch
property toenginesOverride
This will
git pull
the branch and build the engines from there."enginesOverride": { + "branch": "feat/column-comparison", }
-
Or, add a
folder
property toenginesOverride
This will copy the engines from the folder where you've built them.
"enginesOverride": { + "folder": "/home/john/dev/prisma/prisma-engines/target/release" }
- Run
pnpm install
again to propagate the new engines.
By creating a Pull Request the following pipelines will be triggered
They are both running the same tests but with different Node.js version and will need to be successful before merging ("flaky" tests might show up and might be ignored).
If a branch name starts with integration/
like integration/fix-all-the-things
the Buildkite [Release] Prisma TypeScript
pipeline will be triggered.
If tests pass, a new version of the packages will be published to npm with a version like 3.12.0-integration-fix-all-the-things.1
(where 3.12.0-
is the current dev version prefix, integration-
is statically added, fix-all-the-things
is from the branch name and .1
indicates the first version published from this integration branch)
To make a PR which will release an integration version, the name of the branch of the PR would need to start with integration/
.
The Buildkite [Release] Prisma TypeScript
will show its status in the PR checks and might take up to 30min to finish.
Once published to npm the version will need to be installed with the exact version like:
npm install -D [email protected]
# or executed with npx like
npx [email protected]
(Note that npm version upgrades or the update notifier in Prisma CLI might behave weird and unexpectedly with these integration versions.)
Internal note: You can check the #feed-prisma-releases channel on our private Slack to get notified when versions are published.
About ecosystem-tests
Once the integration version is published on npm:
- The
check-for-update
workflow, which runs continuously, will find the new version, update the package.json and do a commit on theintegration
branch - The tests worflows will then run for that commit and will be visible here
