I have a problem trying to deploy my app. I recognize is quite tricky but it's the best solution I found to have the structure I need.

My app it's a Vite/ReactJS app and it runs perfectly, but I need to create a blog so I decide to create a solution with Astro inside my Vite/ReactJS app.

So my structure looks like a tipical ReactJS app but I created a /blog folder with a Astro project and I modified my build script and looks like this

"build": "vite build && cd blog && npm run build"

vite build works fine but I have a problem with Astro

24.63 sh: 1: astro: not found
24.66 error Command failed with exit code 127.
24.66 info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/run for documentation about this command.

Looks like astro build it's not working. I try to add engine: 18 on my package.json but it doesn't works.

Thanks for your help and patience

could you share your repo, that would give us the best possible overview of what you are trying to do

It's private but If you want I can share with your github user

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 4:30 PM

#

yes please, brody192

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 4:31 PM

#

Ok I just added you

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 4:33 PM

#

any specific branch i should be looking at?

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 4:33 PM

#

main directly

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 4:34 PM

#

so you just want to deploy the app within /blog and dont care about anything in the root?

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 4:35 PM

#

yeah my idea it's to deploy the asto into the dist folder like an static project

#

so I think this approach it was the best to achive it

#

making both builds at the same time

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 4:38 PM

#

does anything in /blog depend on anything outside of /blog?

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 4:38 PM

#

nope

#

It's independent

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 4:39 PM

#

perfect, so first things first, you will need to configure your blog app to use the node adapter

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 4:40 PM

#

makes sense ok

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 4:40 PM

#

example https://github.com/brody192/astrowind-template/blob/main/astro.config.mjs#L34-L40

#

let me know when done!

#

there is steps after this, but one thing at a time

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 4:41 PM

#

ok, I just pushed the node adapter

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 4:42 PM

#

that was fast, ill take a look

#

missed the server object

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 4:45 PM

#

  server: {
    host: '0.0.0.0'
  },

#

ok added

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 4:51 PM

#

okay in the blog's package.json set the start script to node dist/server/entry.mjs and also remove any build or start commands you may have set in your services settings

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 4:54 PM

#

👍🏻

#

OK the scripts in the blog looks like this

  "scripts": {
    "dev": "astro dev",
    "start": "node dist/server/entry.mjs",
    "build": "astro build",
    "preview": "astro preview",
    "astro": "astro"
  },

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 5:05 PM

#

looks good, now just set the root directory in the service settings to /blog

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 5:07 PM

#

ok its redeploying

#

it fails

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 5:10 PM

#

no worries, lets work through it, can you send me the build logs please https://bookmarklets.up.railway.app/log-downloader/

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 5:20 PM

#

#

#

ah ok

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 5:25 PM

#

okay please get your app building locally

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 5:28 PM

#

i'm adding this package

#

mmm looks like i need to install multiple packages but not sure if do it on blog or root directory

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 5:36 PM

#

blog is isolated from the rest as youve said

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 5:36 PM

#

oki

#

ok looks like locally runs fine I just pushed

#

it fails again

#

📎 build_logs_vite-ethernal_1702575667.log

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 5:41 PM

#

in the blog folder, can you run npm run build locally?

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 5:42 PM

#

yes, I just pushed again with the yarn.lock file

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 5:44 PM

#

locally do you use yarn or npm?

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 5:45 PM

#

I used to use yarn

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 5:47 PM

#

what do you use now?

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 5:47 PM

#

If i try yarn build in the root I see this error

"default" is not exported by "ckeditor5/build/ckeditor.js", imported by "src/components/MemoryEditor.jsx

#

I prefer yarn

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 5:48 PM

#

im not sure why you are trying to do stuff in the root? this thread is about running the blog on railway, right?

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 5:49 PM

#

yes sorry

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 5:49 PM

#

can you build the blog locally with yarn?

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 5:50 PM

#

yes

#

works fine in my local

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 5:50 PM

#

what command do you run locally yo build blog?

#

and what folder are in you when you do that?

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 5:50 PM

#

npm run build

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 5:51 PM

#

vapid dirge I prefer yarn

???

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 5:51 PM

#

north arrow in the blog folder run `npm run build`

maybe I missunderstand something sorry

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 5:52 PM

#

what version of node are you using locally

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 5:53 PM

#

v18.18.0

#

i saw this in the build log

#12 4.663 Cannot find package 'cookie' imported from /dist/blog/dist/server/manifest_YyjHGfxx.mjs

I added in my local and the build works fine

#

but It doesn't work on server 😦

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 6:07 PM

#

whats your root directory set to on your railway service?

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 6:09 PM

#

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 6:10 PM

#

unfortunately i dont know why you get that error, but it is a code issue, so please try your best to resolve it

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 6:35 PM

#

mmm looks like it´s something related with the adapter

#

if I set it to static it deploys fine, but it crash because the adapter node its for output server

#

so I think its not a code issue it works fine in my local

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 6:36 PM

#

for railway, it needs to use a node adapter

#

this isnt an issue with railway, i know that much

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 6:36 PM

#

maybe its not compatible

#

also it's so strange i need to add packages manually that I dont use in my code

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 6:38 PM

#

i have an astro template and it works just fine, this isnt an issue with railway

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 6:38 PM

#

looks like astro in server output needs something that it´s not compatible with the build process

#

mmm if I put your template into the blog folder should be fine?

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 6:38 PM

#

some kinda of config / code issue on your part

#

yeah theoretically

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 6:38 PM

#

I'll try

#

it fails

📎 build_logs_vite-ethernal_1702579434.log

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 6:44 PM

#

i just deployed the template, no issues https://astrowind-site-production-b7e0.up.railway.app/

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 6:46 PM

#

mmm yes but my configuration its something more complex. I have my reactJs and the astro blog

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 6:46 PM

#

you said blog is completely separate and doesn’t rely on anything outside of the blog folder

#

you cant copy in 1/4 of the astrowind project and expect it to build

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 6:52 PM

#

sorry maybe I didn't explain what I need.

Build my Vite/React app
2.Build my Astro blog and put it into the Vite/React /dist/blog folder

#

That's why my first idea was change my build script into the React app into this

 "build": "cd blog && astro build && cd .. && vite build",

#

Is it possible?

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 6:55 PM

#

yes but thats not a good idea in my opinion, can we instead have your react app on domain.com, and your blog on blog.domain.com?

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 6:56 PM

#

Well I'm planning to have a great url

domain.com/blog/first-blog
domain.com/blog/es/primer-blog
domain.com/blog/en/primer-blog

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 6:57 PM

#

blog.domain.com/first-blog
blog.domain.com/es/primer-blog
blog.domain.com/en/primer-blog

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 6:58 PM

#

I get it

#

ok

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 6:58 PM

#

thats the better solution in my opinion, its how railway does it too

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 6:58 PM

#

but why it's not a good idea my first approach?

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 6:59 PM

#

you are building two completely separate apps and then combining them, im sure i could work out a decent way to do that, but blog.domain.com is far better and more appropriate

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 7:01 PM

#

mmm ok. I'll think about it. Thanks for your time @north arrow . I really appreciate it ❤️

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 7:02 PM

#

vapid dirge That's why my first idea was change my build script into the React app into this...

for the record, in my experience, it is never a good idea to be cd'ing around like this, and when cd is used like this, it usually means you are doing something wrong.

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 7:03 PM

#

My other idea was to move everything to NextJS but it's to hard to move everything to NextJS just because I need a blog in my project mildpanic

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 7:04 PM

#

north arrow for the record, in my experience, it is never a good idea to be cd'ing around li...

I agree. It was the first time I used this kind of solution

north arrow Dec 14, 2023, 7:04 PM

#

so yeah, going forward you want an isolated mono repo.
in the repo you want two folders
/blog
and
/mysite (or whatever you wanna name it)
then in railway you will have two services, each set with the appropriate root dir and with the applicable domain added

#

astro still needs to build with the node adapter though, so you still need to sort those build errors out

vapid dirge Dec 14, 2023, 7:06 PM

#

Ok will try your solution creating a subdomain. Thanks
