Using "Database = unknown". warning

[jlemonz]

Database types configured at "~/types/database.types.ts" but file not found at "C:/eventbird-events/lemonz-v2/app/types/database.types.ts". Using "Database = unknown". I get this warning since i updated to nuxt 4.13 and using supabase v2.

Same for me

Database types configured at "./shared/types/database.types.ts" but file not found at "/Users/al/project/node_modules/@nuxtjs/supabase/dist/shared/types/database.types.ts". Using "Database = unknown".

We did not change anything about this behaviour, we just had a warning so it means the module is now identifying that your types are not loaded. Is your database.types.ts file located at the good place?

Hi @larbish

Docs: default location = ./types/database.types.ts therefore nuxt.config.ts > types: './shared/types/database.types.ts'

Getting the above warning since nuxt v4.1.3 and @nuxtjs/supabase v2.0.1

Given that nothing changed, I just tried types: '../shared/types/database.types.ts' and no longer get the warning.

So not sure what happened.

Cheers Alex

I think you can generate the types file based on your database using the Supabase CLI: https://supabase.nuxtjs.org/getting-started/introduction#types

Or you can do this from the Supabase admin console as well, for your project:

1. Open your project on Supabase.com
2. Go to "API Docs"
3. Under "Tables and Views" click on "Introduction"
4. Then in the "Generating Types" section click on "Generate and download types" button along the right.
5. Then place that file in the appropriate location in your project.

In my case I was using Nuxt 4 standard of "shared/types" - which was causing the problem. From looking at Alex's comment above, it appears that it can be fixed by updating nuxt.config.ts to use shared/types:

supabase: { types: "../shared/types/database.types.ts", },

Or, just follow the default location of using "app/types" as mentioned in the error.

But whatever you decide, you have to generate that types file first... Hope that helps.

aha thanks! i understand it now. i just set types to false. I dont use typescript. Thanks

If anyone wants to disable types check fully and remove the warning, write following in your nuxt.config:

supabase: {
    types: false
}

otherwise the other comments are correct, you can customize your types path like this:

supabase: { 
    types: "../shared/types/database.types.ts",
}

The default Nuxt 4 types path is at app/types/database.types.ts
