How to integrate prisma with serverless framework aws-nodejs-typescript template

I am building a serverless function using the serverless framework. However im having an issue with running it locally

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open ''/.esbuild/.build/node_modules/.prisma/client/schema.prisma'

prisma/schema.prisma

generator client {
    provider      = "prisma-client-js"
    binaryTargets = ["native", "rhel-openssl-1.0.x"]
}

serverless.ts

package: {
    individually: true,
    patterns: [
        "!node_modules/.prisma/client/libquery_engine-*",
        "node_modules/.prisma/client/libquery_engine-rhel-*",
        "!node_modules/prisma/libquery_engine-*",
        "!node_modules/@prisma/engines/**",
    ],
},

steps:

npx prisma generate && npm install 

sls invoke local -f main

What am i doing wrong here?

note:

• attempting to follow this example: https://github.com/prisma/prisma-examples/tree/latest/deployment-platforms/aws-lambda

• i am using the serverless aws-nodejs-typescirpt template which uses serverless-esbuild and not serverless-webpack
