`npx zod-prisma-types` prevents postinstall from completing

[CyanoFresh]

When using

generator zod {
  provider                  = "npx zod-prisma-types"
}

npm i command doesn't complete, hanging forever. Without npx prefix it's not working:

/bin/sh: zod-prisma-types: not found

This completely breaks my CI pipeline. Only commenting the generator zod fixes the problem.

If I interrupt the process, npm log:

OS:

• node:18-alpine:
• • with npx - process cannot finish
• • without npx - error: cannot find module
• macos:
• • with npx - process cannot finish
• • without npx - works fine

Any movement on this or pointers? Happy to help on this.

A hacky fix is to exit the process after 5 seconds:

generator zod {
  // Process never exits, bug: https://github.com/chrishoermann/zod-prisma-types/issues/170
  provider         = "perl -e 'alarm 5; exec @ARGV' npx zod-prisma-types"
  output           = "./models"
  createInputTypes = false
}

timeout is available on unix, but not macOS by default. If your environment is entirely linux/unix, you could also use the cleaner:

generator zod {
  // Process never exits, bug: https://github.com/chrishoermann/zod-prisma-types/issues/170
  provider         = "timeout 5s npx zod-prisma-types"
  output           = "./models"
  createInputTypes = false
}

Same issue

perl is working fine for me, but now every prisma generate takes 5s. for some reason timeout is not working for alpine docker build
