Hi everyone. This is my first time using Railway and first time trying to build a backend server. For some reason my firebase_private_key is coming through as undefined, here is the error from the logs:

file:///app/src/services/firebase.js:12
private_key: process.env.FIREBASE_PRIVATE_KEY.replace(/\n/g, '\n'),
^
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'replace')

Im not sure why its undefined though, I added my variables under the service variables. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Nevermind, I think I figured it out! I never hit deploy after adding the env variables 😓
