Prisma CLI Migrate Resolve Skill for Cursor

prisma migrate resolve

Resolves issues with database migrations, such as failed migrations or baselining.

Command

prisma migrate resolve [options]

What It Does

Updates the _prisma_migrations table to manually change the state of a migration. This is a recovery tool.

Options

You must provide exactly one of --applied or --rolled-back.

| Option | Description |

|--------|-------------|

| --applied <name> | Mark a migration as applied (success) |

| --rolled-back <name> | Mark a migration as rolled back (ignored/failed) |

| --schema | Path to schema file |

| --config | Custom path to your Prisma config file |

Examples

Mark as Applied (Baselining)

If you have existing tables and want to initialize migrations without running the SQL:

prisma migrate resolve --applied 20240101000000_initial_migration

This tells Prisma "Assume this migration has already run".

Mark as Rolled Back (Fixing Failures)

If a migration failed (e.g., syntax error) and you fixed the SQL or want to retry:

prisma migrate resolve --rolled-back 20240115120000_failed_migration

This tells Prisma "Forget this migration run, let me try applying it again".

Use Cases

• Baselining: Adopting Prisma Migrate on an existing production database.
• Failed Migrations: Recovering from a failed migrate deploy in production.
• Hotfixes: reconciling manual database changes (rare).
