I have my project, and I'm trying to get variables from it, I have declared it in the "Variables" section, but it just returns "undefined" when I try to run it

are you attempting to use these variables at build or deploy

prisma verge Jun 18, 2024, 3:18 AM

#

I'm trying to use it running locally

#

Just the yarn run start

#

are you using railway run? if not, thats what you would want to be using for this usecase

#

hmmm

#

I don't thibk so

#

Just run railway run?

#

do you think you could share why these variables would become available locally purely by setting them on railway?

#

It's been a while since I don't use railway, I'm coming back to it just now, but got the idea

#

Sorry

that would be quite the backdoor railway would have if they could magically set environment variables on your computer without you doing anything

HAHAHAHA

#

That's true

#

I was kinda confused actually, but I was hoping some magic could happen ahahaha]

#

Thanks, it's working now
