Are you in the root directory of your project when you run railway up ?

Yes.

I just moved my project to a subfolder of the git folder (for better organization) but the same error still happens.

I will say that if I try to do railway up while my IDE (Intelli-J) is open, I get this slightly different error (in case it gives a clue):

C:\Users\MDM0819\git\dbME.app>railway login

Open the browser? Yes

C:\Users\MDM0819\git\dbME.app>railway up

Indexed Compressed [====================] 100% The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file. (os error 33)

When I close my IDE and do it again I get the orginal error that I reported.

How did you install the Railway CLI?

I downloaded and ran the pre-built binary named:

railway-v3.5.2-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.zip

I also added the folder it sits in, to my PATH env variable so I can invoke it from anywhere on the system.

C:\Users\MDM0819\railway>dir

Volume in drive C is OS

Volume Serial Number is D064-3727

Directory of C:\Users\MDM0819\railway

So I got it working.. I tried several things all at once so I'm not sure which one fixed it but I:

• re-downloaded the binary and replaced the file I had with the freshly downloaded one (exact same size so maybe was not the solution)
• deleted the hidden .railway folder to wipe any settings
• started over from the "top" with using the CLI

Then it worked fine.

Thanks to all who lended a hand.
