Ability to run all railway commands with RAILWAY_TOKEN

[kevinwolfcr]

First of all, I want to thank all the contributors who made Railway possible, I am exploring using it for my next project (a Remix app with a Postgres database consumed by Prisma) because I have searched for existing services that allows me to automatically create per-environment databases and so far Railway has been the only one that allowed me to to this -- great work!

The Problem

I want to create a GitHub Action for my project that first validates the project (build, lint, test) and then, only if those tests passes, deploy to Railway. This is because, currently, only the railway run command is reading the RAILWAY_TOKEN environment variable.

Proposed solution

If all commands could read the RAILWAY_TOKEN environment variable, it would unleash its power by making it completely usable in headless environments like CI/CD systems.

I looking forward in this too. I really need for railway up. Maybe I can help about this?

Oh we didn't see this until now! I've added push events into our Discord for all future issues sorry about that!

Ya this would be great. We can have a look into it and circle back pretty soon! Will comment back when resolved

Hey, @elkevinwolf! The CLI now supports RAILWAY_TOKEN for all commands, as of Railway Changelog #30.

Also @JakeCooper, can you close and lock this issue as resolved? Thanks.

Thanks @AndreiJirohHaliliDev2006!

Yes indeed!

Hi @AndreiJirohHaliliDev2006 / @JakeCooper , sorry I just want to make sure. Is it already published? I just curious, so for RAILWAY_TOKEN need to exactly one line with the command? or I can define from another line? Since I try at my github action, seems not work.

Oops! Just pushed a new release. Should be live as of 0.2.22!

[berviantoleo]

Seems I am not understand how to use RAILWAY_TOKEN. I still meet same error (ask me to login) at 0.2.22. Maybe I need to login first with the RAILWAY_TOKEN?

@berviantoleo You may need to do this instead:

# if you want to use environments in GitHub Actions to control deployments
# please see the GitHub Docs for that.
- name: Deploy to Railway
  run: |
     RAILWAY_TOKEN=$RAILWAY_TOKEN railway up
  env:
     RAILWAY_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.RAILWAY_TOKEN }}

Also, it's currently not possible to sign in without email prompts (aka using an API token for logging in) to the CLI for now.

@berviantoleo it seems like it's being set to "" by this line?

We've discovered an issue with using railway up and the project token. Will fix that today and let you know!

Hi @gschier. No, it's not. It will be replaced when the value at the left side True. When the left side is false, the right side will not executed.

I think this one the problem that I met. So I will wait the #126 instead.

This should be fixed and live in release v0.2.25 https://github.com/railwayapp/cli/releases/tag/v0.2.25

You don't need to railway link or login at all. If you up with the RAILWAY_TOKEN the associated project and environment will be used.

Please let me know if you have any further issues with it

Thanks. It's working as expected.
