FIXED: Operator Error...ugh

Issue: I'm unable to deploy my backend service to Railway. The deployment is stuck in a "Pending" state with the message "Jeremy isn't on the Railway team, so their commit needs approval."

Context:

  • I'm the sole account owner and workspace owner

  • I signed in to Railway using GitHub authentication

  • My account shows as "Workspace Owner" in project settings

What we've tried:

  1. Clicked "Invite them" link to add myself to the team, but it said I need a Pro plan (I'm solo, don't need team features)

  2. Clicked "Deploy" button to manually approve the deployment - still blocked

  3. Disconnected and reconnected the GitHub repository to Railway

  4. Made a new commit to GitHub with Dockerfile changes - commit successfully pushed to origin/main

  5. Attempted to manually trigger deployment - still shows "Repository not found" error

Current Error Messages:

  • "NAME" isn't on the Railway team, so their commit needs approval". I am not sure if this has to do with a name change to my actual name on Git Hub profile, but I changed it back. This didn't seem to clear it up at the time of writing this. It's coming from the same Git Hub user.

  • "Repository not found, ensure someone from the team has access to it"

Question: Why is my own account being blocked from deploying my own repository when I'm the workspace owner? How do I bypass the team approval requirement as a solo developer?

Hey, can you send some screenshots so I can confirm it? Useful screenshots would be the team members page as admin/owner role and proof that the Github trying to deploy is actually you, anything that can help me see if it's a Railway issue.

Also, try some of these steps:

  • Reconnect your Github to your profile

  • Reconnect your repository to your deployment

This one is on me. Linked source repo was changed to similar project after I had done some major mods. It's all working again now thanks to walking away from it and getting fresh eyes on everything.
