`nativeTypes` Preview Feature not Recognized in Generator Block

Bug description

When trying to use a native database type, an error indicates that the nativeTypes feature must first be enabled in the Datasource block:

However, at runtime or when migrating, seeding and etc., an error suggests that previewFeatures should only be placed in the generator block:

Entering the nativeTypes feature in the expected generator block does not validate any native type fields, like @db.Uuid.

How to reproduce

1. First, try generating the client with the schema as is with. prisma generate. You’ll get the error mentioned above.
2. Move the previewFeatures = ["nativeTypes"] line to the datasource block, you’ll notice no error is shown for the native type @db.Uuid but will throw an error once you try to do prisma generate.

Expected behavior

It should run and recognize any or all native data types without throwing errors

  provider = "postgresql"

  id    String     @id @db.Uuid @default(dbgenerated("uuid_generate_v4()"))

  name  String?
}

Ok, So I reinstalled VS Code and it seems to be working fine now. I assume it was an outdated Prisma plugin installed via Settings Sync from an other computer.

Thanks for the info @Karl-EdwardFPJeanMehu

I am going to close this. I can’t reproduce this from the CLI.
