Error: Generator "typegraphql-prisma" failed: /bin/sh: typegraphql-prisma: command not found

Anyone had any luck gettign typegraphql-prisma to work on 5.5.2?
I installed pnpm i -D typegraphql-prisma and put the following generator above my client in the schema

generator typegraphql {
  provider = "typegraphql-prisma"
}

generator client {
  provider = "prisma-client-js"
}

datasource db {
  provider = "postgresql"
  url      = env("DATABASE_URL")
}

...and other models

then ran
pnpm dlx prisma generate which results in the following error.

Error: Generator "typegraphql-prisma" failed:

/bin/sh: typegraphql-prisma: command not found

Yes, generating and using prisma normally without typegraphql-prisma works fine. typegraphql-prisma is present in my node_modules, and downgrading prisma to 5.4.2 didn't work either. i'm on node 20

Am I missing something?

The problem is that the library looks to /bin/sh from the host.

> prisma generate

Error: Generator "typegraphql-prisma" failed:

/bin/sh: typegraphql-prisma: command not found

What if I need to onboard new developers to my team? They need to add this library globally too?
What if I need to install in a CI pipeline? We need to manually add this to the runner as well?

Why doesn't this library search for it's shell file in the context of the package environment?

> prisma generate

Using shell: node_modules/typegraphql-prisma/.bin/sh/typegraphql-prisma
. . .

This library is using npm feature of exposing scripts via package.json. So when running prisma command, it can find the generator and run the script.
