📚 Fix Prisma Extension Docs for Common Misconfigurations (#2167)

This PR improves the documentation for the prismaExtension config in trigger.dev, addressing confusion around:


✅ What’s Fixed

  • Clarified schema usage

    • Docs now specify that schema must point to a .prisma file, not a folder
    • Removed incorrect mention of prismaSchemaFolder which doesn’t exist in the extension API
  • Explained clientGenerator clearly

    • Added guidance that clientGenerator should be the generator ID (e.g. 'client'), not the provider (e.g. 'prisma-client-js')
    • Especially useful for projects with multiple Prisma generators like client + json
  • 🚨 Added FAQ / Troubleshooting section

    • Covers the confusing Prisma error:
      Prisma Client could not locate the Query Engine for runtime "debian-openssl-3.0.x"
      
    • Explains that this usually means the extension isn’t installed — and users should not manually download the binary (Trigger handles that automatically)

Walkthrough

The documentation for the prismaExtension build extension was updated to clarify usage details. The instructions now specify that the schema option requires a direct path to a *.prisma file, not just a directory. The description of the clientGenerator option was refined to indicate that it should reference the generator ID from the Prisma schema, such as client, rather than the provider name. Additionally, a new troubleshooting section was introduced to address a common error regarding the Prisma Client's Query Engine runtime, explaining its cause and resolution. No changes were made to exported or public entities.

68-69: Minor phrasing improvement for clarity

The sentence “which will prevent other generators from being generated” is a bit clunky. Consider:

- ...the `clientGenerator` option to specify the `prisma-client-js` generator, which will prevent other generators from being generated.
+ ...the `clientGenerator` option to specify the `prisma-client-js` generator and prevent the other generators from running.

Pure wording tweak—feel free to ignore if style guidelines prefer the current phrasing.

Learning: In the Trigger.dev Helm chart values.yaml, the maintainer prefers to use explicit comprehensive warnings for security-sensitive default values rather than implementing secure-by-default behavior that would fail installation. The project uses deterministic default secrets with clear "TESTING ONLY" warnings and instructions for production deployment.
