Error: Unknown binaryTarget linux-arm64-openssl-undefined and no custom engine files were provided

    @janpio  I've recreated it with the following minimal setup.

Dockerfile

ARG FUNCTION_DIR="/var/task"
FROM node:16-slim

# Include global arg in this stage of the build
ARG FUNCTION_DIR

WORKDIR ${FUNCTION_DIR}
COPY . ${FUNCTION_DIR}

RUN yarn add prisma
RUN yarn prisma generate

prisma.schema

// This is your Prisma schema file,
// learn more about it in the docs: https://pris.ly/d/prisma-schema

generator client {
  provider      = "prisma-client-js"
  binaryTargets = ["rhel-openssl-1.0.x", "linux-arm64-openssl-1.0.x"]
}

datasource db {
  provider = "mongodb"
  url      = env("DATABASE_URL")
}

model User {
   objectID  String   @id @default(auto()) @map("_id") @db.ObjectId
}

docker-compose.yml

version: "3.9"
services:
  api:
    build: .
    volumes:
      - ./:/var/task

When running docker compose build you should get this error

Error: Unknown binaryTarget linux-arm64-openssl-undefined and no custom engine files were provided

for me it worked using node:16-slim version :

FROM node:16-slim
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y openssl

So this error is unrelated to ARM and is caused by a lack of an installed SSL library. Some slim Docker images no longer come with a SSL library installed by default in order to keep the image as small as possible. This is why switching to a full sized image resolves this issue.

The fix is to simply install a SSL library.

Unfortunately the error from Prisma doesn’t provide any context that this is the issue. So I would suggest the following change:

• Change the name of the Linux based package to indicate the number in the name is supposed to represent the version of the locally installed SSL library i.e “linux-rhel-ssl-1.0.0”. Wasn’t clear that this version number was related to that.
• When a linux library has been selected (Either manually or automatically via “native”) then if a SSL library isn’t installed rather than returning “undefined” as the version number. Throw an error indicating that they lack a SSL library.
