Typescript, MySQL: Logging Prisma errors - mysql

Question

I'm executing several insert and update statemens in a squence using the same prisma client variable, all wrapped in a try catch.
In the catch, I want to log the error to the database but I'm getting the error:
Invalid prisma.$executeRaw() invocation: Raw query failed. Code:
N/A. Message: N/A
This is what my code looks like:
let prisma = await new PrismaClient({
datasources: {
db: {
url: dbUrl,
},
},
});
try {
await prisma.$executeRaw`
INSERT INTO table1(col1, col2)
VALUES (val1, cal2);`;
await prisma.$executeRaw`
INSERT INTO table2(col1, col2)
VALUES (val1, cal2);`;
} catch (err: any) {
console.log('Error doing and sql insert: ' + err);
// Update the log item in the db with the error.
try {
console.log('getting ready to log sql error')
// We can't use the prisma variable above becuase it probably died when we got the error
// so create a new prisma variable here.
// The exception is on the next line.
let prisma2 = await new PrismaClient({
datasources: {
db: {
url: dbUrl,
},
},
});
await prisma2.$executeRaw`
UPDATE FisImportLog
SET Success = 0, Message = 'Error at: ${msg}. ' + ${err}
WHERE FisImportLogGUID = ${logId};`;
} catch (err: any) {
console.log('FIS Import *Log* Error Message: ' + err);
// This was really bad!!!
// Call notification service here
}
}
Can anyone tell me why I get this error and how I can log a prisma error to the db using prisma?
Thanks.

I found the problem thanks to the comment from #Shea Hunter Belsky
I was logging error messages from a Typescript try/catch and the err had lots of single quotes in it which totally corrupted the dynamic sql used for inserting the error message. I replaced them with ticks and then all worked.
But to do this I had to use the prisma.$executeRawUnsafe instead of prisma2.$executeRaw with a string template like this:
let errMessage = err.toString().replace(/'/g, "`")
let errorLogSQL = `
UPDATE FisImportLog
SET Success = 0, Message = 'Error at: ${msg}: ${errMessage}'
WHERE FisImportLogGUID = '${logId}';`;
await prisma.$executeRawUnsafe(errorLogSQL);
Note: I also had to wrap the ID in the where clause with single quotes where as in a string template I don't.
