that pr may have been merged, but a release containing the flag has not been made yet

So what I should do?

remove the files from your gitignore

I don't want to rename delete the file each publish…
also in the documentation it says that .gitignore is not used…

show me the docs that say that? railway up has used the .gitignore file since v0

Can't find it now,
Howeverr the documentation for up don't mention this,
https://docs.railway.app/reference/cli-api#up

And since I am deploying a docker file , I expect that the docker build will happen the same way as on mine machine, So I had build the docker image on mine machine and It had all the files and in your build the files were missing, which is huge misaligment and it not noted anywhere so It took me 2-3 hours to figure out that it's because of .gitignore that you obey for some reason…
.gitignore is for git… you are a difrrent app

its true railway is not git, but removing behavior that has been around since v0 of the cli, removing that would break too many things, thats why the flag has been added, docs pending.

ok.
So It will be out in 2-4 weeks ?

im sorry i dont have a timeline

Ok, I also tried a solution to define
negative rules in your .railwayignore

This didin't worked … or maybe I had missed anything…

that likely wont work because .railwayignore is loaded before .gitignore for some reason

it would always be possible for the cli to be compiled from source

yes… but it's too much , I will implement renaming the file before, and returning it after

Thanks for your help 🙂
I really love your platform

We moved from fly.io

not my platform 🙂 i dont work for railway

Anyhow , you involved 🙂

but may i ask why you dont let railway create the build artifacts?

You have the train near your name so … 🙂

im a conductor (discord mod) the people who work for railway have a railway logo besides their name

railway do 10 step docker build
our file do 4

do you mean nixpacks?

Yes, It's running some kind of socker build

*docker

yes railway runs on docker

what do you mean by "our file"

We run on NodeJS
If it has native runtime without docker we wold deploy .,.

Our

Dockerfile

everything on railway is going to be a docker container

Also we have fine control over the nodejs version

if you have your own Dockerfile railway will use that

Yes , so we have Dockerfile
And it's much faster to build than the nixpacks one

so why not let railway do the build artifacts?

A… there is some issue … Which is not happening locally like the local docker file builds normally , creating the artifacts etc…
on railway I get some weird errors…
I didn't dived in … rename of .gitignore did the trick yesterday , so I didn't dived in….

We are a tiny 2 people team, so we prefer to focus on our logic… not dive into some platform stuff yet… 🙂

fair enough

This is the solution we are working on for the last 3+ years in the spare time
