I am having hard times uploading my stuff to production cause I generate the deployment artifacts on my machne and then want to upload it , but they are ignored in my .gitignore and won't get uploaed I tried the code here https://github.com/railwayapp/cli/pull/481
but it's not working on the latest CLI

that pr may have been merged, but a release containing the flag has not been made yet
jagged beacon
So what I should do?
flint widget
remove the files from your gitignore
jagged beacon
I don't want to rename delete the file each publish...
also in the documentation it says that .gitignore is not used...
flint widget
show me the docs that say that? railway up has used the .gitignore file since v0
jagged beacon
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
flint widget
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.
jagged beacon
ok.
So It will be out in 2-4 weeks ?
flint widget
im sorry i dont have a timeline
jagged beacon
Ok, I also tried a solution to define
negative rules in your .railwayignore
This didin't worked ... or maybe I had missed anything...
flint widget
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
jagged beacon
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
flint widget
not my platform 🙂 i dont work for railway
jagged beacon
Anyhow , you involved 🙂
flint widget
but may i ask why you dont let railway create the build artifacts?
jagged beacon
You have the train near your name so ... 🙂
flint widget
im a conductor (discord mod) the people who work for railway have a railway logo besides their name
jagged beacon
railway do 10 step docker build
our file do 4
flint widget
do you mean nixpacks?
jagged beacon
We run on NodeJS
If it has native runtime without docker we wold deploy .,.
Our
Dockerfile
flint widget
everything on railway is going to be a docker container
jagged beacon
Also we have fine control over the nodejs version
flint widget
if you have your own Dockerfile railway will use that
jagged beacon
Yes , so we have Dockerfile
And it's much faster to build than the nixpacks one
flint widget
so why not let railway do the build artifacts?
jagged beacon
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... 🙂
flint widget
fair enough
jagged beacon
This is the solution we are working on for the last 3+ years in the spare time
