Railway PR environments are so unreliable
- Sometimes they randomly don't get created
- Sometimes railway github app auto deploys it, sometimes it doesn't
- There is no way to debug or know why it fails when it does
And there doesn't seem to be enough documentation explaining how PR environments work, when they get created
For the past 12 hours, none of my PRs have been getting railway PR environments created which has brought my team to a standstill... and status.railway.com doesn't even show any issues
Really should look at Vercel's DX here.. they've nailed their preview/deployment flow - when I use vercel I don't even need think about this, but i feel i need to update my railway CI actions every few days because of new weird things i find out

Having similar issues --- the initial deploy typically goes out right now but any additional pushes I have to manually disconnect / reconnect the branch to trigger a redeploy. Really frustrating

Can you please provide some more info on what is not working.
but i feel i need to update my railway CI actions
Are you using CI actions or the built in Railway PR environments?
What PR environments are you seeing not get created? Is it all the time or just sometimes? What project?
And there doesn't seem to be enough documentation explaining how PR environments work, when they get created
They get created when you create a PR and have them enabled. That is really all there is to it. This seems to be a problem with your specific project/git integration (it is still our fault, but we need to investigate with your specific case)

We recently fixed a bug that affected a small number of new PR environments not being created. This should be resolved now. Please reopen this thread if you're still experiencing issues.
