The requirements.txt file includes editable installation in the local path ./libs/my-library. The deploy script fails because the path is not found. The file does exist and install perfectly locally:
ERROR: Invalid requirement: './libs/sharepoint-files': Expected package name at the start of dependency specifier
./libs/sharepoint-files
^ (from line 17 of requirements.txt)
Hint: It looks like a path. File './libs/sharepoint-files' does not exist.

Hey, are you sure the libs are included?

Make sure to commit the library to your repo, else it will never find it.

The libraries are there but neither ./libs/... or /app/libs/... seem to work. Have eventually resolved it by creating a docker container instead of deploying directly. But would still like to understand the issue

It could be a path issue, since the build context root is different.
For example this might work in local:
-e ../my_lib
But on Railway the path must be relative to the repo root, e.g.:
-e ./my_lib
Using docker works because it guarantees your local dependency is included because you copy everything.
