Hello, I've attempted to deploy with a minor change to my django app on 2 different days this year and it keeps failing. I did some research on Railway and it looks like it had to do with my nixpacks version (the error was "error: attribute 'dev' missing") so I changed my Builder settings from Nixpacks to Railpack and that resolved it for now (I didn't have the Railpack option a few months ago when I first attempted to deploy the minor change). Was that truly the issue? Will this issue come up again? Is it okay that I'm on Railpack now?

Post your failed build logs so we can provide the reason behind it.
But if the railpack works then stick with it and don't worry about it.
The number 1 issue regarding nixpacks i see here is related to it using older versions.
A similar issue was reported some time ago and brody fixed it I think by changing nixpacks version: https://station.railway.com/questions/error-attribute-dev-missing-this-w-34053210

Yes the error was due to a Nixpack version - (error: attribute 'dev' missing) and switching was the right move. I think Railpack is more stable and recommended.
Stick with railpack and you should not see this issue again.
