I am finding the errors output by "railway config apply" to be a bit mysterious, for example, I had the wrong region setup for a bucket being created which causes the tool to error but the message is just "Invalid RailwayChangeSet patch" with no further information, it would be good to have some --debug option to see whats actually gone wrong

It would also be good to be able to track/set the region on databases through IaC, for example, if I setup a new db through IaC it automatically provisions in one of the us regions, when I would prefer it to be provisioned within the EU

It also seems that when you run a "railway config pull" it doesn't pull in any of the environment variables that were set manually in railway UI. I would expect when you run a pull it should pull in the variable names and at least set them to "preserve()" as the docs suggest you do when writing it yourself.

another note on regions, having setup a bucket manually through the UI and setting it to EU, when I then pull that config down, the region its is set to is "ams", I cant find that in the documentation as a region reference, so im not sure if the documentation is out of date? (https://docs.railway.com/deployments/regions). It would be good if the options for regions could be typed, i.e {region: "ams", "us-east1", "asia-southeast1", ...etc} to remove any confusion

This is not IaC, its Railway-as-Code. Please adopt terraform provider properly.

There seems to be a bug with adding buckets to groups, if you create a new bucket and add it to a group the apply command will fail with another obscure message, I see the same behavior for existing buckets being added to groups, or if I add a bucket to a group in the UI, pull the config and then run an apply, it seems to want to remove it from the group according to the plan step and then during apply it fails

How to attach a volume to a database service? Let's say I will need 500 GB of disk space available.

Also, how to attach a volume to a regular service? Couldn't find the right examples so far.

I couldn't apply the config changes due to the error below:

❯ railway config plan

✗ Could not read Railway configuration

Railway configuration

Using .railway/railway.ts

Error error: Cannot find module '/Users/tko/dev/github/namehash/ensnode/node_modules/.pnpm/railway@3.1.2/node_modules/railway/dist/iac/index.cjs?namespace=1781194186859' imported from /Users/tko/dev/github/namehash/ensnode/.railway/railway.ts?t=1781194186843&namespace=1781194186859

IaC runner returned diagnostics

I've checked the /Users/tko/dev/github/namehash/ensnode/node_modules/.pnpm/railway@3.1.2/node_modules/railway/dist/iac/index.cjs path and I can see the file exists.

The .railway/railway.ts file defines a simple auto-generated setup:

import { defineRailway, project, service } from "railway/iac";

export default defineRailway(() => {

  const web = service("web", {

    // Add build/start commands when Railway cannot infer them.

    // build: "pnpm install --frozen-lockfile && pnpm build",

    // start: "pnpm start",

    env: {

      NODE_ENV: "production",

    },

  });

  return project("ensnode", {

    resources: [web],

  });

});

Hey @xeofd! We released updates addressing some of your concerns, including verbose validation output by default on invalid config patches and better support for groups in buckets. Please ensure you've updated the CLI and the TypeScript SDK to the latest available versions.

When deploying a database, a volume will be automatically provisioned and mounted. For now we run with the same defaults as you'd find when deploying a database via the UI. The only customizable parameter via IaC as of now is the region, the rest must be managed via the dashboard. We plan on gradually adding more parameters to ensure parity with the dashboard so you don't leave the editor.

Could you please try upgrading to the latest version of the TypeScript SDK? You're currently using railway@3.1.2, and we released some fixes about imports that could help your case.

Have updated to try out the changes, when I now run railway config plan it fails out as the desired graph is empty, "desiredGraph":{"version":1,"project":{},"environments":[],"resources":[],"edges":[]}, this happens with or without any changes. Cant tell if its a bug or an issue with my config?

This should not happen. Could you please send the full railway.ts contents as well as the output of railway config plan --json? Feel free to open a private support ticket with it if you need to.

okay, good to know, I have opened a private thread
