Data Platform: Cannot connect Prisma to Cockroach Serverless `Requested database check `reachable` failed`

Bug description

Prisma won’t accept the connection string, example: postgresql://seb:[e-mail]:26257/defaultdb?sslmode=require&options=--cluster%3Drose-warthog-619

I have a strong suspicion on this being an SSL-related problem

How to reproduce

Create CockroachCloud cluster

1. Go to https://cockroachlabs.cloud/clusters
2. Click on Create Cluster
3. Select Serverless
4. Select cloud provider AWS
5. Select region Frankfurt (eu-central-1)
6. Leave spend limit at $0
7. Enter cluster name Test123
8. Note down the connection string

Create Prisma project

1. Go to https://cloud.prisma.io/projects
2. Click on New Project
3. Fill in project name as Test123
4. Select Create a repository
5. Fill in repository name as Test123
6. Click on Next
7. Select template URL Shortener
8. Click on Next
9. Select Use my own database
10. Enter connection string, in my case postgresql://seb:[e-mail]:26257/defaultdb?sslmode=require&options=--cluster%3Drose-warthog-619 [I will delete this cluster as soon as this problem is resolved]
11. Select location eu-central-1 (Frankfurt)
12. Leave static IPs on Disabled
13. I get a warning, the complete information of it being We were unable to create your project: Requested database check `reachable` failed

Check connection string with psql

1. Connect: psql "postgresql://seb:[e-mail]:26257/defaultdb?sslmode=require&options=--cluster%3Drose-warthog-619" -c "SHOW DATABASES"

Check connection string with cockroach sql

1. Download certs with curl --create-dirs -o ~/.postgresql/root.crt -O https://cockroachlabs.cloud/clusters/32d83dc6-bfad-4146-9c1f-fbed298ce610/cert
2. Connect: cockroach sql --url "postgresql://seb:[e-mail]:26257/defaultdb?sslmode=require&options=--cluster=rose-warthog-619&sslrootcert='$HOME'/.postgresql/root.crt" -e "SHOW DATABASES"

Expected behavior

It should allow a new Prisma project to connect to CockroachDB’s serverless offering

Prisma information

No schema, just trying to create a new and blank project

Environment & setup

• Fedora 35 locally

Thank you for chasing this issue, and of course I’ll leave the cluster/connstring up! 😃

So we can confirm that the Data Platform is currently not compatible with the options=--cluster= parameter CockroachDB is using by default. We will try to change this soon and will update you here. (If you can leave the connection string up until that happens, that would be neat as we have been using that one to test and reproduce 😆)

That the alterantive connection string that @Jolg42 crafted does not work, is a bit more of a mystery. There we do not know exactly what is going on yet but will also investigate.

Thanks for reporting this @SebJansen - this will make Prisma better for everyone. Unfortunately you will have to wait a bit.
