I'm running a NestJS project on Railway and using @nestjs/schedule for task scheduling. Everything works fine locally, but when deployed to Railway, I get the following error:
ReferenceError: crypto is not defined at SchedulerOrchestrator.addCron (/app/node_modules/@nestjs/schedule/dist/scheduler.orchestrator.js:90:38)
It seems that Railway's environment is not properly loading the native crypto module, which is available in Node.js 20+.
Has anyone encountered this issue before or knows how to force the crypto module to load properly on Railway?

Can you clean your node modules locally to see if you have something cached that's misleading you into thinking your build is working?

after cleaning your modules and re-installing?

Not personally sure, my node knowledge is weak - so, check nestjs/schedule is up to date.
Will let someone else take a stab.

stupid one: did you import/define it it?

Are you using nixpacks or your own dockerfile?

If so, nixpacks defaults to Node 18 according to docs

and this is in a server component?
