Using Convex query gives Cannot find module '@/convex/_generated/api'

I am working on a Next.js convex project and I am having some trouble with running a query. The project has these dirs app, convex and models. app contains the next js app, and the models has some ts code to interact with ai models in the models dir I am trying to run this query

  const activePrompt = await useQuery(api.prompts.getActivePrompt);

  const activePrompt = await useQuery(api.prompts.getActivePrompt);

which runs against this table

prompts: defineTable({
    promptId: v.id("prompts"),
    prompt: v.string(),
    isActive: v.boolean(),
  }).index("by_active", ["isActive"]),
});

prompts: defineTable({
    promptId: v.id("prompts"),
    prompt: v.string(),
    isActive: v.boolean(),
  }).index("by_active", ["isActive"]),
});

and here is the query code

import { query } from "./_generated/server";


export const getActivePrompt = query({
    args: {},
    handler: async (ctx) => {
      return await ctx.db.query("prompts").withIndex("by_active").first();
    },
  });

import { query } from "./_generated/server";


export const getActivePrompt = query({
    args: {},
    handler: async (ctx) => {
      return await ctx.db.query("prompts").withIndex("by_active").first();
    },
  });

When I try and call the query from models I get this error

models/index.ts:6:21 - error TS2307: Cannot find module '@/convex/_generated/api' or its corresponding type declarations.

6 import { api } from "@/convex/_generated/api";
                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

models/index.ts:6:21 - error TS2307: Cannot find module '@/convex/_generated/api' or its corresponding type declarations.

6 import { api } from "@/convex/_generated/api";
                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

and when I try and run it from a prompt.ts file in the convex dir i get

Property 'prompts' does not exist on type '{ auth: { signIn

Property 'prompts' does not exist on type '{ auth: { signIn

Any help would be really appriciated, thanks

Your use of the useQuery hook doesn't look correct. It doesn't return a promise, so await isn't necessary. Have you run npx convex dev? This not only connects you to your Convex account, but it also refreshes the generated code during development, and some of the error messages you list make it feel like something didn't get generated.

You might try an example app first, e.g. checking out https://github.com/get-convex/convex-demos and cd-ing to the typescript directory, then npm install and npm run dev There are a few pieces that dont' sound hooked up here, it might help to see them allworking together What are models, is this server code? useQuery is specifically for React components

You should also see Typescript errors in your files if it can't find the resources you're trying to use.

Im also now trying to use it in a mutation and im getting this error

convex/scores.ts:16:39 - error TS2339: Property 'prompts' does not exist on type '{ auth: { signIn: FunctionReference<"action", "public", { provider?: string | undefined; verifier?: string | undefined; refreshToken?: string | undefined; params?: any; calledBy?: string | undefined; }, { ...; }, string | undefined>; signOut: FunctionReference<...>; }; ... 7 more ...; playerresults: { ...; }; }'.

                                         ~~~~~~~

Found 1 error in convex/scores.ts:16

this is the mutation

import { v } from "convex/values";
import { internalMutation } from "./_generated/server";
import { useQuery } from "convex/react";
import { api } from "./_generated/api";

export const incrementScore = internalMutation({
  args: {
    modelId: v.string(),
  },
  handler: async (ctx, args) => {
    const score = await ctx.db
      .query("scores")
      .filter((q) => q.eq(q.field("modelId"), args.modelId))
      .first();

    const activePrompt = useQuery(api.prompts.getActivePrompt);
    console.log(activePrompt);

    if (!score && activePrompt) {
      await ctx.db.insert("scores", {
        modelId: args.modelId,
        promptId: activePrompt?.promptId,
        score: 1,
      });
    } else if (score) {
      await ctx.db.patch(score._id, {
        score: 1,
      });
    }
  },
});

import { v } from "convex/values";
import { internalMutation } from "./_generated/server";
import { useQuery } from "convex/react";
import { api } from "./_generated/api";

export const incrementScore = internalMutation({
  args: {
    modelId: v.string(),
  },
  handler: async (ctx, args) => {
    const score = await ctx.db
      .query("scores")
      .filter((q) => q.eq(q.field("modelId"), args.modelId))
      .first();

    const activePrompt = useQuery(api.prompts.getActivePrompt);
    console.log(activePrompt);

    if (!score && activePrompt) {
      await ctx.db.insert("scores", {
        modelId: args.modelId,
        promptId: activePrompt?.promptId,
        score: 1,
      });
    } else if (score) {
      await ctx.db.patch(score._id, {
        score: 1,
      });
    }
  },
});

and the schema

  prompts: defineTable({
    promptId: v.id("prompts"),
    prompt: v.string(),
    isActive: v.boolean(),
  }).index("by_active", ["isActive"]),
});

  prompts: defineTable({
    promptId: v.id("prompts"),
    prompt: v.string(),
    isActive: v.boolean(),
  }).index("by_active", ["isActive"]),
});

I resolved this, by reafactoring the logic and removing the promptId from the prompt table
