Improve error message when running prisma with an outdated client #1008
Description
Problem
When upgrading to a newer version of prisma python client - let's say, 0.13.1 to 0.14.0, if you forget to run prisma generate again, you'll get an error message like this
File "/Users/adeel/Documents/GitHub/my-project/backend/utils/db.py", line 36, in get_db
_db = Prisma(auto_register=True, datasource={"url": get_db_uri(application_name)})
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "/Users/adeel/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/my-project-cJkWU15t-py3.12/lib/python3.12/site-packages/prisma/client.py", line 156, in init
self._set_generated_properties(
TypeError: BasePrisma._set_generated_properties() missing 1 required keyword-only argument: 'preview_features'
It's not very obvious based on this preview_features message that this error actually stems from an outdated client.
Suggested solution
The prisma library already knows prisma.__version__. We should also track the version used for generating the client - and if it's missing or mismatched, raise an error.
