Hello, I've never deployed a nodejs app before and I chose railway as a service to deploy a WebSocket app/game but it is not working.
The deployment is successful and there is no error but when I use the generated URL in my socketio client it returns cors issue. which is weird because I've setup cors on socketio config server
here is the repo: https://github.com/devloop01/p5-multiplayer-sketch/tree/main/server
I also tried to deploy another app without game logic but it is also not showing anything on the generated URL
here's the other repo: https://github.com/devloop01/express-socket-chat

You are misinterpreting the error, your actual issue is not a CORS issue, a CORS error is just a side effect of the actual issue.
Please read this docs page -

I tried to fix the issues related to this article and pushed the code in GitHub but its still shows nothing if I visit the link: https://distinguished-learning-production.up.railway.app/
here is the updated server file: https://github.com/devloop01/p5-multiplayer-sketch/blob/main/server/src/index.ts

The index.ts file now looks good now, how long ago did you generate that domain?

can you check the other repo where I just did a basic express server that hosts a public folder and a basic socketio connection
the same thing is happening I cannot run the socket application. If I remove the socket code and just host the express server with the static folder it works

Express and socketio need to listen on the same port.
wait isn't httpServer.listen(port, ...)
listening to the same port as socketio?

For you other repo, you also need to read through the fixings common errors page.

Hey, I seem to have fixed the issue by using the server that is returned from server.listen(port, ...)
, now I have configured the cors and also read the docs but in the frontend that is hosted on vercel I am getting cors issue which is kinda of weird because I have set the cors origin properly

Hey, now it's working! ✨ finally
Maybe it takes some time to update the deployment which sucks 😢 (Is there any way to make it faster?)
Thanks for your help man!

You only need to wait for the domain after you have generated it, otherwise it's not slow.

so do I need to regenerate the domain on every build? after it showed deployed it took like 3-5 mins

No you don't, I'm not sure where you got that notion from.

Could be due to your browsers cache, otherwise there's nothing to worry about.
