docs: show the one-line job that migrates a shared database from CI; fix db.close() in ten guides - #8310
Merged
Conversation
Ten guides and the guide-writing page closed the client with `db.runtime().close()`. The reference says `db.close()`, and the source agrees: `db.close()` marks the client closed, waits for a pending connect, and ends the pool it owns, while `runtime.close()` only closes the driver and leaves the client looking open, so a later query fails with a pool error instead of `DRIVER.NOT_CONNECTED`.

- Line 107: Revise the migration status documentation to describe only
migration-marker, migration-history, or contract-state conflicts, not full live
schema-drift detection. Clarify that out-of-band table or schema changes may not
produce diagnostics, and direct users to db verify for database-shape
validation, using --schema-only when marker validation is unnecessary and
--strict when extra schema elements should fail.

The GitHub Actions guide only covered a fresh database per pull request. It now has a section for staging: a workflow whose one step is `db migrate --to staging --db "$URL"`, with the ref explained and the `migration ref set` command the job depends on. `db migrate` checks the marker before it runs anything and refuses with `MIGRATION.MARKER_MISMATCH` when the database was changed outside the migration system, which was verified against a local PostgreSQL 15 with prisma 8.0.0-rc.15. The `migration status` reference documents its `--json` fields, and Applying a migration and Schema changes point at the job.

… gate (prisma#30382) ## The problem `skills/prisma-8/references/migration-review.md` told agents that the CI gate for a deploy is `migration status --to <env> --db $URL --json` followed by a `node -e` script that reads the output and fails the build. That sends agents and readers off to write parsing code in the one place where Prisma ORM 8 was designed to need none. ## What is true `db migrate` is safe to run unattended. Before any operation runs, it reads the live marker and refuses with `MIGRATION.MARKER_MISMATCH` if that hash is not a node in the on-disk graph. Each operation then evaluates its own `precheck[]` and stops if the database is not in the state it expects. A successful run writes the destination hash as the new marker. So the whole deploy job is: ```yaml - run: pnpm prisma db migrate --to staging --db "$STAGING_DATABASE_URL" ``` Verified against a local PostgreSQL 15 with `prisma` 8.0.0-rc.15: a database whose marker was outside the on-disk history made `db migrate --to staging` fail with `MIGRATION.MARKER_MISMATCH` before running anything, with and without `--to`. ## The script was also broken `migration status --json` prints one line, `{"kind":"result","envelope":{"result":{...},"diagnostics":[...]}}`. The script did `JSON.parse(status.json).diagnostics ?? []`, which is always empty, so the gate it described never fired. ## What changed - The "Workflow — CI" section is now the one-line job, with why `db migrate` needs no check in front of it, and positions `migration status`, `db migrate --show`, and `migration log` as what a human or agent reads, not a gate. - The "A CI gate should read `diagnostics`" sentence under Diagnostic codes says the opposite: a report, not a gate. - `debug.md`'s row for the `warn` diagnostics no longer says "CI gates parse `--json`". The same wrong recipe reached prisma/web#8310 through this file; that PR is being corrected separately. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Documentation** * Updated migration guidance to describe deploying directly with the migration command, including its marker-mismatch refusal, per-operation prechecks, and marker update after success. * Clarified that migration status and preview commands do not modify the database. * Updated the CI deployment checklist to use the migration command alone. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> --------- Signed-off-by: willbot <w.a.madden+machine@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Will Madden <madden@prisma.io> Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The problem
The docs never showed how a deploy pipeline migrates a database that other people share, such as staging. The GitHub Actions guide only covered a fresh database per pull request.
What this PR adds
One job, one step:
migration ref set staging <migration>command the job depends on, including that the ref has to be pointed at each new migration.migration statusreference: the fields in its--jsonoutput and what its exit code means.The pages say why the job is one step:
db migratereads the marker before it runs anything and refuses withMIGRATION.MARKER_MISMATCHwhen the marker names a state outside the migration history, which is whatdb updateor a migration from an unmerged branch leaves behind.Also in this PR:
db.close()Ten guides told readers to shut down with
db.runtime().close(). The reference and the source saydb.close().db.close()marks the client closed and ends the connection pool it owns;runtime.close()only closes the driver, so the client still looks open and the next query fails with a pool error. All ten now saydb.close(). Separate commit.How I checked it
