Variables redeploy info

Sometimes when I don't have an active deployment and I change the variables it triggers a redeploy but sometimes it doesen't, it seems like casual. When and what does it actually make it redeploy or not?

N/A

whats the source of the service?

Wym?
It's a nodejs app

repo or image

repo

now are you actually changing a variable or are you just fake changing one?

I'm changing values from the railway service variables page
fake changing?

like not actually updating anything

Yeah but it should trigger a new deploy that will use the new variables right?
but sometimes it doesent automatically trigger

do you see a pop-up in the bottom right corner?

The "Redeploying" info you mean?
Sometimes I see it sometimes I dont (based on if it redeploys or not)

right but when you don't see it redoploy, have you actually modified a variable

Yes I have

next time it happens provide some error logs and timestamps please? theres really no good way to look into a users sporadic issue without a timestamp

there is no error logs.. is a screen record ok?

timestamp

Sep 08 22:20 CEST (UTC +2) didn't trigger deploy

like is this a timestamp taken from a network request?

no
one sec

This is the post to
https://backboard.railway.app/graphql/internal?q=variableCollectionUpsert timestamp

and is there any way you could provide a reproducible flow that would cause the service to not be redeployed?

I'm not sure because i deployed 2 identical services and one redeploys on variables changes the other doesen't
Could it be because maybe once i clicked on "do not redeploy" when changing variables and now it remembers and just doesen't do it as a feature?

nope I click that all the time
does this service you mention reliably not redeploy after a variable change?

So now I tried to change again the variaables of the one not working and now I got the message (Redeploying, do you want to cancel) but it actually didnt deploy

okay let's try something for fun
use this to trigger a re-deploy
https://bookmarklets.up.railway.app/service-redeploy/
on the service that is not re-deploying automatically

Tried it with both services, the "working" one redeployed the other didn't

well this now seems reproducible
can you send the service id for the service that won't redoploy

5265da35-b9cc-4778-99cc-c68d182a7dcb

this service does have an active deployment right?

not atm

then of course it won't redoploy, there is nothing to redoploy

the other didn't too
there are previous inactive ones

not how it works
there won't be an automatic redoploy if there are no active services

but the other one redeployed

that has no active deployments

yeah like this one

are the sources the same
same source type I mean

yes

and that would be a repo?

yep

well this is out of my hands

Wait I think I have an idea

for any future team members that may come along this is the service that isn't re-deploying

Can it be because the "working" one has a failed deploy in the past while the other doesen't? Seems the only difference between the two

sounds plausible

But doesen't make much sense
