Hi team, I'm having trouble with my project (link: https://railway.com/project/ba2144db-bd45-4bc2-9a69-664b7cc3c369/service/fca5947b-69c0-424e-83c5-00233174bc75?environmentId=9679e20c-0009-4a64-a200-a281deffe068&id=704d41db-6d5d-4f4b-9a58-6fa49edfc98c#build)
I'm seeing repeatedly that the build logs only show 2 lines, both of which are the same thing about 10 seconds apart. It seems to be unable to schedule my build, as if it can't find the Metal builder it's looking for.
scheduling build on Metal builder "builder-hdvmmv"
scheduling build on Metal builder "builder-hdvmmv"I haven't changed any configuration or anything and I'd expect to start seeing some build logs but this is all I get. Are Metal builds broken right now?

Hey, have you tried to redeploy your services or have tried to disable the metal build environment?
I'll raise your thread to the team for further investigation.

Yep redeploying doesn't work (same problem) but I'll try to disable Metal and see if that works too

Yea that (turnong off Metal) at least unblocks the build and I can see real build logs. I also tried switching to railpack from nixpacks and it the same thing happens for railpack (going to switch to that going forward if I can get it working)

Howdy!
Unfortunately in a few small instances we've seen metal builders take a bit longer to schedule. We have a project that we're working on which would help improve a good bit of the "push code" -> "get it live" loop.
If you try swapping off metal builder as uxuz had said does that fix it?

Yes that unblocks my bulid - it'd be great if there was some notice of that in the build logs output, ie "timeout waiting to schedule build on Metal" and a suggestion to try turning off Metal, since this basically blocked me fixing a bug this morning
