#

add a nixpacks.toml to your project with this in it

[phases.install]
cmds = ['npm install --force']

viral phoenix Feb 20, 2024, 10:44 PM

#

Cheers, not in the src right?
Like where you add the netlify.toml?

hasty jasper Feb 20, 2024, 10:44 PM

#

root of the project, yeah

viral phoenix Feb 20, 2024, 10:44 PM

#

I'll try it, nothing else needed?

hasty jasper Feb 20, 2024, 10:44 PM

#

nope that should be it

viral phoenix Feb 20, 2024, 10:50 PM

#

Hmm now it deploys at least, weird though because it doesnt seem to resolve a component which exists... which cuases the deploy to break

hasty jasper Feb 20, 2024, 10:50 PM

#

care to send the specific error message youre getting?

viral phoenix Feb 20, 2024, 10:50 PM

#

#

Not a lot info to base on 😄

hasty jasper Feb 20, 2024, 10:51 PM

#

make sure the folder and filename casing is the same in github as it is locally

viral phoenix Feb 20, 2024, 10:53 PM

#

😄

#

well well well....

hasty jasper Feb 20, 2024, 10:53 PM

#

that would do it

viral phoenix Feb 20, 2024, 10:55 PM

#

I hope

hasty jasper Feb 20, 2024, 10:55 PM

#

i assume you dev on windows? windows is not case sensitive

viral phoenix Feb 20, 2024, 10:56 PM

#

Yes, me and my devPartner been having a fight with this project. We changed the names once of the components and now its a mess. Although he made a new rep yesterday which should be fixed 🙂

#

Can it fail beause of these type of noused?

#

hasty jasper Feb 20, 2024, 11:04 PM

#

what kind of app is this?

viral phoenix Feb 20, 2024, 11:04 PM

#

MERN

hasty jasper Feb 20, 2024, 11:04 PM

#

I meant specifically what is this you are currently trying to deploy

#

looks like a frontend app? but more specifically?

viral phoenix Feb 20, 2024, 11:04 PM

#

Frontend fintech kind of

hasty jasper Feb 20, 2024, 11:05 PM

#

what framework?

#

react? with create react app?

viral phoenix Feb 20, 2024, 11:05 PM

#

I was setting upp deploy with heroku backend + netlify frontend earlier but wanted to shift towards railway 🙂

#

React indeed.

hasty jasper Feb 20, 2024, 11:06 PM

#

create react app?

#

vite?

viral phoenix Feb 20, 2024, 11:06 PM

#

create react app

hasty jasper Feb 20, 2024, 11:07 PM

#

then two issues here.
you have warnings and they are being treated as errors thus causing your build to fail, you have two options, fix the warnings, or ignore them so they don't cause your build to fail.

second issue we will get to after this.

viral phoenix Feb 20, 2024, 11:08 PM

#

I will fix the warnings in shortterm and unused variables.

#

just a lot of code to clean up and my buddy will handle that

#

It's been working great to host on local

#

How can i ignore them?

#

When building here?

hasty jasper Feb 20, 2024, 11:10 PM

#

set a service variable CI to false

#

and the second issue.
from what I can tell, you're trying to run a development server on railway, since create react app is only capable of running a development server

#

simple enough fix, let's tackle that

#

https://github.com/brody192/create-react-app-starter
copy the nixpacks.toml and Caddyfile from this repo into yours

#

I'm pretty sure you won't need npm install --force since the real issue was that one file named incorrectly from what I can tell

viral phoenix Feb 20, 2024, 11:13 PM

#

hasty jasper set a service variable `CI` to `false`

like this?

hasty jasper Feb 20, 2024, 11:14 PM

#

I think it's a lowercase F

viral phoenix Feb 20, 2024, 11:14 PM

#

Ofc.

#

I'll leave this to my backend partner, i suck at this stuff

#

#

now its loop deploying at least

hasty jasper Feb 20, 2024, 11:23 PM

#

have you copied in the two files I asked you to?

viral phoenix Feb 20, 2024, 11:24 PM

#

Just the caddyfile, and the nixpacks, dont i have to install anything?

#

caddy ofc.

hasty jasper Feb 20, 2024, 11:27 PM

#

no, just copy those two files into your project

viral phoenix Feb 20, 2024, 11:28 PM

#

sure

#

hasty jasper Feb 20, 2024, 11:33 PM

#

please copy the Caddyfile to your repo

viral phoenix Feb 21, 2024, 5:35 AM

#

Oh yea i did add the file, and pushed

hasty jasper Feb 21, 2024, 5:37 AM

#

and does it work now?

#npm install --force
