The repo's railway.json sets the start command to poetry run gunicorn ..., which is the command that's causing the crash most likely. Try to replace it with: gunicorn --chdir scraper --bind 0.0.0.0:$PORT --workers 2 --timeout 120 server:app which avoids using poetry in the start command.

If you are using Railpack to deploy this repo, try to add RAILPACK_DEPLOY_APT_PACKAGES=libexpat1 in your service variables, it adds extra apt packages to the image, which should resolve the missing library. If this doesn't work, linking the github repo here is useful in finding a fix.

Thank you for your response Darseen, I had forgotten to even link the package
Github: https://github.com/BestTopEduCationTechLC/JobSpy (it has the railway library, also please remember that this is mostly AI-generated and my expertise in coding is still limited; I try to do my work by hand but my environment doesn't allow me)

The repo's `railway.json` sets the **start command** to `poetry run gunicorn ...`, which is the command that's causing the crash most likely. Try to replace it with: `gunicorn --chdir scraper --bind 0.0.0.0:$PORT --workers 2 --timeout 120 server:app` which avoids using poetry in the start command.
