Today I tried deploying a service ("dramatiq workers") with

railway up . --verbose

which resulted in the following in

Failed to parse JSON file railway.workers.json: invalid character '\x00' looking for beginning of value

in the build logs.

The json file (`railway.workers.json` is definitely ok -- utf-8 encoded, lf line endings and all):

teo@jailbreaker-pc:/mnt/e/src/talkx-backend$ cat railway.workers.*

{

"$schema": "https://railway.app/railway.schema.json",

"build": {

"builder": "DOCKERFILE",

"dockerfilePath": "Dockerfile"

},

"deploy": {

"startCommand": "./start-workers.sh",

"restartPolicyType": "ON_FAILURE",

"restartPolicyMaxRetries": 10

}

}

# railway.workers.toml

[build]

builder = "DOCKERFILE"

dockerfilePath = "Dockerfile"

[deploy]

startCommand = "./start-workers.sh"

restartPolicyType = "ON_FAILURE"

restartPolicyMaxRetries = 10teo@jailbreaker-pc:/mnt/e/src/talkx-backend$

teo@jailbreaker-pc:/mnt/e/src/talkx-backend$ railway service status

Service: dramatiq workers

Deployment: 4d676049-7527-4180-b2c0-ee7cc735ecb7

Status: INITIALIZING

teo@jailbreaker-pc:/mnt/e/src/talkx-backend$

and

teo@jailbreaker-pc:/mnt/e/src/talkx-backend$ cat railway.workers.json | jq .

{

"$schema": "https://railway.app/railway.schema.json",

"build": {

"builder": "DOCKERFILE",

},

"deploy": {

"startCommand": "./start-workers.sh",

"restartPolicyType": "ON_FAILURE",

"restartPolicyMaxRetries": 10

}

}

teo@jailbreaker-pc:/mnt/e/src/talkx-backend$

Then I tried making a .toml version of the same file and changing the Config-as-code Railway Config File to that.

Which also did not work, at all. And after some google searches and many errors like this

teo@jailbreaker-pc:/mnt/e/src/talkx-backend$ railway up . --verbose

Indexed Compressed [====================] 100% >>>>> prefix not found <<<<<<<<

later, I tried redeploying the service that was already deployed via the web ui.

And that ended up in the "creating snapshot" state.

Please advise.

Many Thanks in advance,

Teo
