Error loading .env file

I tried the free trial to deploy my golang code then I encountered that problem in the deploy logs. even though I've added the environment variable in the railway. is there anything i missed?

screenshot of your service variables please

raii6926•16mo ago

is that what you mean?

Brody•16mo ago

please remove all database related variables and add them back with variable references https://docs.railway.app/develop/variables#reference-variables and another screenshot when youve done that please

raii6926•16mo ago

like this? and the value just like that?

Brody•16mo ago

correct, keep doing that for all of them make sure to cancel the popup in the bottom right corner

raii6926•16mo ago

like this?

raii6926•16mo ago

but i dont understand what u mean

Brody•16mo ago

now wrap your godotenv code in this if block

// only load the .env file when running locally
// check for a RAILWAY_ENVIRONMENT, if not found, code is running locally
if _, exists := os.LookupEnv("RAILWAY_ENVIRONMENT"); exists == false {
    // your godotenv code here
}

// only load the .env file when running locally
// check for a RAILWAY_ENVIRONMENT, if not found, code is running locally
if _, exists := os.LookupEnv("RAILWAY_ENVIRONMENT"); exists == false {
    // your godotenv code here
}

reason being, you do not need to load an .env file on railway, as railway injects all the variables into the environment for you once you've implemented that code, show me a screenshot of that code in your code

raii6926•16mo ago

wait thats my code, so what should i do is copy line of 35 til 38 paste to 41 ? or copying line of 44 til 49 paste to 41 ?

one sec, ill type it out for you

// only load the .env file when running locally
// check for a RAILWAY_ENVIRONMENT, if not found, code is running locally
if _, exists := os.LookupEnv("RAILWAY_ENVIRONMENT"); exists == false {
    if err := godotenv.Load(); err != nil {
        log.Fatal("error loading .env file:", err)
    }
}

// only load the .env file when running locally
// check for a RAILWAY_ENVIRONMENT, if not found, code is running locally
if _, exists := os.LookupEnv("RAILWAY_ENVIRONMENT"); exists == false {
    if err := godotenv.Load(); err != nil {
        log.Fatal("error loading .env file:", err)
    }
}

and show me a screenshot when you have implemented this code block please

Brody•16mo ago

raii6926•16mo ago

Brody•16mo ago

looks good

raii6926•16mo ago

so should i run again im my terminal?

Brody•16mo ago

nothing changes locally, push the code to github side note: i see you're building the dsn string manually, i highly recommend this package to parse the MYSQL_URL variable and return a dsn string https://github.com/xo/dburl

raii6926•16mo ago

no problem! have you generated a domain?

raii6926•16mo ago

no, im sorry but idk a lot about this actually. because this for my assignments in college. so how can i get it?

Brody•16mo ago

go to your service settings and click generate domain

raii6926•16mo ago

but the domain u mean its the link url ? like this one http://localhost:8000/users/ ?

Brody•16mo ago

thats a local address

raii6926•16mo ago

yes i mean, get the domain for public ?

Brody•16mo ago

raii6926•16mo ago

i see i get it

Brody•16mo ago

i suspect there is another issue?

raii6926•16mo ago

yes it cant

raii6926•16mo ago

why?

Brody•16mo ago

1. use https 2. set a service variable PORT = 8080

raii6926•16mo ago
