Hi all, I'm trying to get a Rails/Vite/Svelte mono repo app to start in Railway I've tried bin/rails s && bin/vite dev to start it as well as using the Gem Foreman but neither have worked. the firs only started the rails server and the second crashes because it can't find the procfile that is clearly in the root directory. I'm not sure what to do here?
#Rails and Vite project start command?

well first off, you absolutely don't want to run a development server on railway as they are incredibly fragile and costly.
can you describe your project structure?
wild reef
looks like you have them mashed together, any reason for that?

Thats how Inertia structures projects
wild reef
does this mean that rails is serving the frontend?

hold on I think I may have figured it out? I'm doing a redeploy to test

I'm just trying to understand the practicality of mashing two very different languages into a singular folder, instead of a isolated monorepo style
if you had this kind of structure, it would be a walk in the park to deploy onto railway
.
├── backend/
│ ├── Gemfile
│ └── ...
└── frontend/
├── package.json
└── ...
Inertia essentiall allows a backend to use front end frameworks as views and feed data into frontend framework components as props directly as opposed to having to do api calls and having seperate applications
I did figure it out though I needed to add vite build as a build step
its working as expected now
