Issue Deploying Next.js App with Prisma on Vercel (Postgres URL Error)

Help
1

Hello everyone,

I’m facing an issue while deploying my Next.js application that uses Prisma ORM. The error message states that my PostgreSQL connection URL configuration is incorrect.

What I Have Tried

  • I found a GitHub thread where someone resolved a similar issue by removing quotes from the DATABASE_URL in the .env file, but that did not work for me.
  • I tested my project locally with the same environment variables, and it works fine. However, the issue appears only when deploying to Vercel.

Additional Information

  • The database is PostgreSQL.
  • Prisma is properly configured, and the same configuration works locally.
  • I have ensured that my .env file does not contain extra spaces or incorrect formatting.
  • My Prisma schema is correctly set up.

Request for Help
Has anyone encountered a similar issue? Are there any additional configurations required when deploying a Next.js + Prisma app on Vercel?

Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated! :folded_hands:

It sounds like the variable is missing from the build. Are you managing environment variables from your Vercel project dashboard, including the .env file in your repo, or managing the variables another way?

I’m adding my environment variables through the Vercel dashboard, so they should be available during the build process. However, the error still persists. Is there anything else I should check?
