I have set env variables in Railway, but in my Node app I cannot see them.

I have all the pre-made variables, as shown in the log (i console logged all process.env), but none of the Ones I added myself

/app/node_modules/passport-jwt/lib/strategy.js:45

    throw new TypeError('JwtStrategy requires a secret or key');

    ^

Hello,

The DATABASE_URL should not be a shared variable, I've undone this setting for you.

You also had your start command set to npx prisma migrate dev --name init this caused the migration to run but never starts the server, I've moved npx prisma migrate dev --name init into a pre-deploy command, and set your start command to node app.js

And finally, you didn't have a domain attached to the service, so I clicked Generate Domain for you.

With all these changes, your deployment is active and accepting HTTP requests!

Best,
Brody
