Hey there! So the exact env variable you are sending is RAILWAYAPITOKEN? Thats incorrect, Railway expects RAILWAY_TOKEN. You can alias with: RAILWAY_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.RAILWAYAPITOKEN }}

Past that I'm unsure, would need more info

No, for some reason it's not formatting the variables here properly, the variable is RAILWAY_API_TOKEN, NEON_API_KEY, LINK_PROJECT_ID, NEON_PROJECT_ID, NEON_PARENT_BRANCH

I just checked around, Someone reported:

To run railway up non-interactively in CI:

• Use a Project Token (not an Account/Team token).
• Set it as RAILWAY_TOKEN in your CI environment.

Token types:

• RAILWAY_API_TOKEN → works for railway whoami, link, etc.
• RAILWAY_TOKEN (Project Token) → required for railway up, redeploy, logs.

Fix:

1. Go to Railway → Project → Settings → Tokens → Generate Project Token.
2. Set it as RAILWAY_TOKEN in your CI.
3. Run railway up — no login needed.

Which actions are you doing?

Railway Link and Railway Variable (Setting a variable)

Are you using a user token or project specific token?

User

Ah theres your issue! You need to use a project token:

Go to Railway → Project → Settings → Tokens → Generate Project Token.

And project tokens are noted with RAILWAY_TOKEN not RAILWAY_API_TOKEN

For anybody reading this thread, don't bother trying to work with the CLI in CI/CD. Spend your time using the GraphQL API, it'll be a lot easier than trying to get the CI/CD to work at the moment.
