I’m using Cursor/Composer to deploy my local development application to Render. It’s .next/typescript. It seems like successfully deploying take 100 prompts and then every time I do an update or add features it’s also enormously complex. Any advice on how to optimize the process?
Can you share more details about this?
How does deploying take 100 prompts? Is it because you face build errors while deploying?
You can avoid them by building earlier and trying to fix the errors manually.
If there are lint errors, you can fix them using lint --fix
Here is the chat history to give an idea. I’m trying to setup a Docker build to deploy on Render. Everything runs fine on my local build.
The issue is with the prisma import in the auth route. Let’s fix the import paths:
route.ts4/7
The issue is that we’re using the named export prisma but we need to use the default export prismaClient. This matches the changes we made earlier in lib/db.ts:
db.ts8/12
Let’s try the Docker build again after this fix.

Two issues to fix:
- First, let’s fix the session strategy type in auth options:
route.ts5/7
- And let’s fix the db export in lib/db.ts:
db.ts9/12
The key changes are:
-
Added NextAuthOptions type
-
Added type assertion for strategy
-
Simplified prisma export
-
Using named import for prisma
Let’s try the build again after these changes.

We have a type mismatch with the PrismaAdapter. Let’s fix this by updating the imports and adapter setup:
route.ts6/7
The key changes are:
-
Changed from @auth/prisma-adapter to @next-auth/prisma-adapter
-
Added type assertion to adapter to resolve type mismatch
-
Kept the rest of the auth configuration the same
This should resolve the adapter type mismatch error. Let’s try the build again.

Lines 314-370

We need to install the correct prisma adapter package. Let’s install it:
npm install @next-auth/prisma-adapter
And update the package.json:
package.json1/1
Then update the auth route to use the correct import:
route.ts7/7
After installing the package, let’s try the Docker build again. The module not found error should be resolved.
Checkpoint created.Restore
Lines 369-446
it’s confusing to me that docker creates all these errors. I thought as a container it just ported what exists?
Docker doesn’t just port what exists - it builds a fresh environment from scratch using your Dockerfile instructions. This means:
-
It starts with a clean Node.js Alpine Linux container
-
Copies your code into it
-
Runs npm install to get all dependencies
-
Tries to build your application
The errors you’re seeing are happening because:
-
The container environment is different from your local environment
-
It’s doing a fresh build without any cached files
-
It’s using the exact versions specified in package.json
-
It’s more strict about imports and types because it’s a production build
Let’s fix the current error in app/api/auth/route.ts:
route.ts1/1
And make sure lib/db.ts is exporting prisma correctly:
db.ts10/12
Docker is actually helping us catch issues that might be hidden in development, like:
-
Missing dependencies
-
Incorrect imports
-
Type errors
-
Build configuration issues
This is good because it ensures our application will work correctly in production.

Now we need to fix the same issue in app/api/billing/route.ts. Let’s update it:
route.ts1/8
The pattern we’re seeing is:
-
All routeConfig imports need to be changed to _routeConfig
-
All prisma imports need to use the named import { prisma } from ‘@/lib/db’
Let’s check all API routes for these patterns:
-
app/api/billing/route.ts
-
app/api/diagnoses/route.ts
-
app/api/notes/route.ts
-
app/api/patients/route.ts
-
app/api/sessions/route.ts
-
app/api/tasks/route.ts
-
app/api/treatment-plans/route.ts
Would you like me to show you all the files that need updating, or should we fix them one at a time as the Docker build reveals them?
Checkpoint created.Restore
yes and update them without questions
I’ll update all API routes systematically:
route.ts1/2
route.ts1/2
route.ts2/2
route.ts1/2
route.ts1/2
route.ts1/2
route.ts4/5
route.ts1/1
Also updating any [id] route files:
route.ts2/3
route.ts3/4
route.ts1/1
route.ts1/1
route.ts1/1

We have two issues to fix:
- First, let’s fix the authOptions import in all route files:
route.ts3/3
- Let’s fix the db.ts export issue:
db.ts11/12
I’ll update all the route files to include the authOptions import:
route.ts5/5
route.ts4/4
route.ts2/2
route.ts2/2
route.ts2/2
route.ts2/2
route.ts2/2
Would you like me to show you the specific changes for each file?

We have a type error in app/api/billing/route.ts. The insuranceInfo field is missing from the select statement. Let’s fix it:
route.ts2/8
The error occurs because we’re trying to access record.insuranceInfo in the response mapping, but we didn’t include it in the select statement. After adding it to the select statement, the type error should be resolved.
Let’s try the Docker build again after this fix.
Checkpoint created.Restore
Lines 818-1032
outcome
The issue is that insuranceInfo is not a valid field in the Prisma schema. Let’s check the schema and update it:
schema.prisma1/1
Now let’s update the billing route to match the schema:
route.ts3/8
The key changes are:
-
Using include instead of select to get all fields
-
Only using select for the nested patient relation
-
Letting Prisma handle the field types automatically
This should resolve the type error and match our schema definition.
Checkpoint created.Restore
Lines 820-1032
outcome
The issue is that we need to explicitly include the insuranceInfo field in our query. Let’s update the billing route:
route.ts4/8
The key change is:
-
Using select instead of include to explicitly specify all fields we need
-
Including insuranceInfo in the select statement
-
Keeping the response mapping the same
This should match the types correctly since we’re explicitly selecting all fields we use in the response.
Checkpoint created.Restore
Lines 819-1032
outcome
Let’s try a different approach. Instead of using select, let’s use include to get all fields and then type the response:
route.ts5/8
The key changes are:
-
Using include instead of select
-
Adding proper type definitions
-
Formatting the response with explicit types
This should resolve the type issues since we’re letting Prisma handle the field types and then explicitly typing our response.
Checkpoint created.Restore
Lines 820-1032

Let’s fix the type issue by properly typing the BillingRecord with its relations:
route.ts6/8
The key changes are:
-
Added proper type imports from @prisma/client
-
Created a BillingRecordWithPatient type to handle the included patient relation
-
Updated the BillingResponse type to match the actual data structure
-
Added type assertion to handle the included patient data
-
Removed null coalescing operators where not needed
This should resolve the type issues by properly typing all the data structures.
Checkpoint created.Restore
Lines 822-1032
outcome
The issue is that insuranceInfo is not included in the BillingRecord type. Let’s update our types to match the Prisma schema:
route.ts7/8
The key changes are:
-
Added Prisma import
-
Using Prisma.BillingRecordGetPayload to get the correct type with includes
-
Using Prisma.JsonValue for the insuranceInfo type
-
Keeping the rest of the code the same
This should properly type the BillingRecord with all its fields, including the JSON fields.
Checkpoint created.Restore
Lines 820-1032
outcome
Let’s fix both issues. First, let’s fix the prisma import in lib/db.ts:
db.ts12/12
Then, let’s fix the billing route by using the correct Prisma types:
route.ts8/8
The key changes are:
-
Explicitly typing the billingRecords result
-
Removing the type assertion
-
Ensuring the prisma export is correct in lib/db.ts
This should resolve both the prisma import issue and the type error.

Add context
sorry I couldn’t fully grok the context given.
what I usually do when cursor goes into endless cycle of fixing and breaking is I restore to before that point first.
go to chat and ask deepseek r1 to create a plan and save in plan.md
then I ask in a new chat to review it as an expert and identifhy any pitfalls.
if all is well, then I ask composer agent to implement with sonnet 3.5
also if it usees any libraries, make sure to add the docs using @docs
hope this helps!
