Debugging

You can enable debugging output in Prisma Client via the DEBUG environment variable. It accepts two namespaces to print debugging output:

• prisma:engine: Prints relevant debug messages happening in a Prisma engine
• prisma:client: Prints relevant debug messages happening in the Prisma Client runtime
• prisma*: Prints all debug messages from Prisma Client or CLI
• *: Prints all debug messages

Setting the DEBUG environment variable

Here are examples for setting these debugging options in bash:

$# enable only `prisma:engine`-level debugging output
$export DEBUG="prisma:engine"
$
$# enable only `prisma:client`-level debugging output
$export DEBUG="prisma:client"
$
$# enable both `prisma-client`- and `engine`-level debugging output
$export DEBUG="prisma:client,prisma:engine"

To enable all prisma debugging options, set DEBUG to prisma*:

$export DEBUG="prisma*"

To enable all debugging options, set DEBUG to *:

$export DEBUG="*"
