no, I thought it's failing because it can't find this env var inside the GH action env

HNo. When uploading a Worker, it will initialize it once to make sure it can start up. Here, you see it erroring because it expects an OpenAI key that isn’t there
Lah, makes sense.
So it should work after adding it with wrangler?

HIt should, yes
Lok thanks!
LBtw, is Preview = staging environment?
Hwrangler preview?
LI mean on cloudflare it has preview and production deployments
HWorkers Environments are disabled at the moment. Pages does have them tho
Land is Preview = staging?
HOn Pages, Preview is everything that isn’t production
Lok thanks.
Btw, I had to disable automatic deployment for my project because my project was generated from a template that uses GH actions to deploy.
But that means, the normal URL to access my deployed website is not working, i.e. main.<project>.pages.dev isn't working, only some hash as subdomain (instead of "main"), which changes with every deployment.
How can I make the URL work even when automatic deployment is disabled?
So that that domain always points to the latest preview deployment?

HDisabling GitHub CI deployments shouldn’t disable the domain. Do you see any deployments to the main branch?
LI use master
HThe subdomain on Pages is based on the branch you are on. If you don’t have a main branch, you won’t have a main subdomain
Lah!
Lbut it doesn't show me any URL with master subdomain
HCan you screenshot the deployments?
LI'm on phone right now, but I just tried the URL:
master.<project>.pages.dev doesn't work, only main.<project>.pages.dev but that shows an old outdated deployment, not the latest!
and I never had a main branch btw

Pits possible to write into Durable Object from external server by API?
HYes, but the call still has to go through a Worker
Pthank you, how long take DO read and write, i know there are many factors, byt typically
HFrom the external API, or within the DO?
Pfrom worker
HThat would be dependent on where the DO is. If it is nearby, I’d say ~10-20 ms
Pand if its not nearby? 
L
L(btw, I don't have a main branch, only master and dev)
Lneither of the domains listed there work
H+200 ms
HThough that is rare
HMostly Australia
HThat’s because production doesn’t have a valid deployment
Pthats totally ok for my case if its rarely ~200ms, thank you
LAh!
I just set the env var with wrangler and tried to deploy again but it failed again with, even though the env var is present in the worker named

t4-api:
HOh wait… it probably expects a global. What happens if you initialize it as it asks, in the constructor?
LI am!
Lbtw, this constructor would otherwise read the same env var if I didn't pass this:
HAfaik, process.env is only defined within Next
HAt least on Workers
Lwhat do you mean by that?
Lthis project uses next.js
HWorkers don’t have global env variables. Next gets around this somehow, but afaik that only applies within the Next scope
HSo a 3rd-party package wouldn’t be able to read any variables
Lwhat's the Next scope?
HThe code you write with Next
Lbut the way I'm reading from process.env and passing it to the constructor should work, right?
HYes. Just to be sure, check whether they are defined, by console-logging them
HOh wait
HDo deployments actually show logs other than errors…
HActually, when are you calling that?
