As shown in the figure, when a PR from another repository is created, Railway can prompt that the user needs to be added to the team before the PR preview can be started. But this doesn't work in my own repo, I'm currently using the trial version of Railway.

If I don't have permission, won't the railway app prompt me, but I can't even see the prompt

I can see the PR preview comment when I opened a PR where the destination branch and head branch both are in this repository


linjie7674

But if the head branch is from other fork repository, I can't see the railway comment

i just dont think thats how it works then

add the user to the repo and then ask them to make a pr


linjie7674

yes, I added the user to the repo and the user created a pr, but this can not trigger PR preview


2 years ago

and the user's pr was made from the same repo?


linjie7674

yes

Look at the picture, when the head branch of this PR is from another repository, railway bot has no comments

but its working when the user youve added is making a pr from the same repo?


linjie7674

I didn't try this. When I created a pr on my own repo(head branch and base branch are both from my own repo), PR preview was triggered.


2 years ago

okay so it works, I just don't think it works when the pr isn't created from the repo itself


linjie7674

Yes, but I see that this PR in your repository triggers a PR preview, the head branch of which is from another repository.

This is another account, my test account

I found another account that is in limited trail, is this the reason why I can't trigger PR preview?

This account is created by another user

I would like to confirm in that whether the requirement I just had is already implemented in your product. Because our team is interested in using the tool for PR preview, and we can subsequently upgrade the pro-paid plan

I don't work for railway, but I can flag the team for you

thanks a lot

fwiw only pro users would get direct support from the team, unless it's a platform issue


2 years ago

You need to be on the team


2 years ago

You can use the previews if you're on a team plan (any project in the team), or you've been invited to a project and are a member of it

Can a PR preview be triggered even if the PR is from a forked repository (the head branch is from a forked repo and the base branch is from the repository that is tied to Railway)?
