Prisma deploy: relations are expected for enums/expecting an interface, directive or definition - graphql

Question

I'm trying to deploy my updated datamodel.prisma file. However, an error occurs and from what I can understand, it thinks that I'm trying to create a relation between an enum I defined above with the User type.
Here is my file:
enum Permission {
ADMIN
USER
ITEMCREATE
ITEMUPDATE
ITEMDELETE
PERMISSIONUPDATE
}
type User {
id: ID! #id
name: String!
email: String! #unique
password: String!
resetToken: String
resetTokenExpiry: String
permissions: [Permission]
}
type Item {
id: ID! #id
title: String!
description: String!
image: String
largeImage: String
price: Int!
createdAt: DateTime! #createdAt
updatedAt: DateTime! #updatedAt
}
Running prisma deploy --env-file variables.env gives me this error below:
Errors:
User
✖ Valid values for the strategy argument of `#scalarList` are: RELATION.
If I change permissions: [Permission] to permissions: Permission[], it gives this error instead (specifically, expected ImplementsInterfaces, DirectivesConst or FieldDefinitions):
ERROR: Syntax error while parsing GraphQL query. Invalid input "{\n id: ID! #id\n name: String!\n email: String! #unique\n password: String!\n resetToken: String\n resetTokenExpiry: String\n permissions: Permission[", expected ImplementsInterfaces, DirectivesConst or FieldDefinitions (line 10, column 11):
type User {
^
{
"data": {
"deploy": null
},
"errors": [
{
"locations": [
{
"line": 2,
"column": 9
}
],
"path": [
"deploy"
],
"code": 3017,
"message": "Syntax error while parsing GraphQL query. Invalid input \"{\\n id: ID! #id\\n name: String!\\n email: String! #unique\\n password: String!\\n resetToken: String\\n resetTokenExpiry: String\\n permissions: Permission[\", expected ImplementsInterfaces, DirectivesConst or FieldDefinitions (line 10, column 11):\ntype User {\n ^",
"requestId": "us1:ck6au2sum8frx0b00fviv1dom"
}
],
"status": 200
}
I'm not sure what that error means, but I do have a feeling that it doesn't understand the #unique type modifier at the email field. It wasn't there previously and deploys worked fine. Any help is greatly appreciated!

You need to specify the strategy and #scalarList directive.
This #scalarList(strategy: STRATEGY!) directive is required on any
scalar list field. The only valid argument for the strategy argument
is RELATION.
type Post {
tags: [String!]! #scalarList(strategy: RELATION)
}
It is required for all scalar and enum list fields.
See: https://www.prisma.io/docs/datamodel-and-migrations/datamodel-MYSQL-knul/##scalarlist
