ps I know there is like a Github App integration, but I think we have too many PRs or something because it will randomly just, not deploy, (probs cz we are hitting some limit). There are no error messages, it just says its deploying forever (but Railway never actually created the environment or deploys the thing). Therefore, we wanted to create a github action to handle this.

There is this feature

But it literally just seems to not function whatsoever

@elverly @Loudbook Hey yall, we've been taking a deeper look here and this is a tough cookie to solve.

Can you give us as much information as possible? The best is a link to an environment that is in the "deploying forever" state. Any steps you have to reproduce would help.

I've never gotten an environment that is deploying forever. Nothing happens when a PR is created. It's like it doesn't even know it happened.

oh it doesn't even create the environment at all?

Correct

Yes absolutely.

• sometimes, the environement will not create on railway

• github will show it as "in progress" forever

Actually, feel free to dm me we can re-create the issue and debug live

let me think of more details I can provide

Wait, do you even get Railway to make a presence on your repo?

I see no indication Railway is present on my PR

Well, it is a required check

And the app is installed and active on all repos

for this branch according to the branch rules

so I think it may be the case that it shows up as "in progress" by default if it is required

Do your environments have volumes on them and are you using METAL_VOLUME_CREATION feature flag?

Railway didn't even make a check for me

Wait a second

Just confirming something, we might have a fix in flight

I only have one service, that being my next.js server. Not sure what that flag is, so I will assume no.

OK I think your issue is different than Loudbook's

I have

• one service

• one docker file (it will identify the docker file and use it to deploy)

It is

And my issue isn't real

Because I'm an idiot

Yes, it seems like it works for me some of the time

but not all of the time

I had a bunch of GHCR containers but no actual "repo service"

So Railway has no idea what repo to be checking

In life, being an idiot is eventually consistent <:LUL:462678129551474688>

very sad

I have been there, no worries <:salute:1137099685417451530>

Ok so new insight: I remove it as a required check, now, I can see that it doesn't even show up under "checks in progress" for those PRs for which it doesn't run…

Even though it should, very confused.

I need to swap back to the issue at hand, can I come back to debugging your issue elverly?

For sure

!remind me to come back to help elverly in 5 hours

Do you have time?

We can reschedule for anytime tomorrow (im EST)

@elverly We can look at your Project and see if we can find something wrong

@Brody will help you out from here. Apologies for the slow response, it's been quite busy 🙏

No worries, yes let me know if i've configured anything incorrectly on my end! Otherwise feel free to book in a debug session anytime 9am-9pm EST

!t

Oh umm, is your Railway account different than this one? I'm not seeing any projects

@elverly Ping me in the morning

We belive this is the project in question -

And if so, I am not seeing any PR environment that failed to get created, I am only seeing failed deployments, is that perhaps what you mean?

Hello! Yes sorry the account I am concerned about is for a team I am part of. https://railway.com/project/c6887503-f14d-483f-9c0d-30ebf2700de7

The major point of concern is that a lot of the PRs created do not end up being created as a PR environment in Railway, which means we cannot reliably use it as a required deployment check in our CI/CD pipeline.

Which PRs become railway environments and which don't, is kind of difficult to tell. I feel like the only pattern i've noticed is that, since we are using https://graphite.dev/ it is common for us to push multiple PRs one after the other very quickly (as this is done in an automated way)

@Brody @echohack ^

Happy to recreate the issue, i'll be online all day just ping me.

do you happen to have a ballpark of how many prs you open in an hour?

like 7

could be opened in like 30 seconds

is like the average

7 in 30 seconds?

yep
