Fix PrismaClientInitializationError

in Nuxt

Solution

The PrismaClientInitializationError in Nuxt often stems from Prisma Client binaries not being correctly bundled during the build process, leading to runtime lookup failures. To fix this, ensure your `nuxt.config.js` (or `nuxt.config.ts`) uses `npx prisma generate` in the `hooks.build:before` or `nitro.hooks.before` and that `prisma` is correctly configured within your `vite` or `webpack` configuration to copy the generated client and binaries during build. Specifically, check your `vite.config.ts` or webpack config for instructions to copy the `@prisma/client` directory.
