Get deployment status of a service via CLI

Is there a way of getting / seeing the deployment status of a single service via the CLI?

I feel like railway status --json is prettycumbersome to use for that purpose. I am asking because I have to use railway up --detach as a workaround to prevent build stream errors. But that leads to the issue of not knowing if that service has successfully deployed.

Have you tried reinstalling/updating your CLI? railway deployment is a valid command in the CLI.

You can do railway deployment list --service <serviceId>

Output looks something like this:

$ railway deployment list

You'd need to make sure that the Railway CLI is linked to a project instead of one specific service.

Thanks, but my CLI does not have a "deployment" option. I also do not see it in the docs

The deployments that are shown for a corresponding service are completely off in my case.
The dates, the UUIDs of the deployment, the stati.
Does that work correctly for you?
