Creating service using GraphQL API

I'm trying to create a service using the GraphQL API using the serviceCreate mutation, but have two problems 1. How do I send in variables? The doc comment in the GQL schema says "The ServiceVariables scalar type represents values as the TypeScript type: Record<string, string>. Example: "{ foo: 'bar', baz: 'qux' }". So I tried exactly that with this mutation:

mutation ($input: ServiceCreateInput!) {
  serviceCreate(input: $input) {
    id
  }
}

mutation ($input: ServiceCreateInput!) {
  serviceCreate(input: $input) {
    id
  }
}

and input

{
  "input": {
    "environmentId": "<<REDACTED>>",
    "name": "Worker",
    "projectId": "<<REDACTED>>",
    "branch": "main",
    "variables": "{ foo: 'bar', baz: 'qux' }",
    "source": {
      "repo": "https://github.com/<<REDACTED>>"
    }
  }
}

{
  "input": {
    "environmentId": "<<REDACTED>>",
    "name": "Worker",
    "projectId": "<<REDACTED>>",
    "branch": "main",
    "variables": "{ foo: 'bar', baz: 'qux' }",
    "source": {
      "repo": "https://github.com/<<REDACTED>>"
    }
  }
}

The service does get created, but the variables come in as:

0={
1= 
2=f
3=o
4=o
5=:
6= 
7='
8=b
9=a
10=r
11='
12=,
13= 
14=b
15=a
16=z
17=:
18= 
19='
20=q
21=u
22=x
23='
24= 
25=}

0={
1= 
2=f
3=o
4=o
5=:
6= 
7='
8=b
9=a
10=r
11='
12=,
13= 
14=b
15=a
16=z
17=:
18= 
19='
20=q
21=u
22=x
23='
24= 
25=}

2. My other issue, is that the service does not deploy after it is created. I found the mutation serviceInstanceRedeploy but that only seems to work for services that have already deployed before.

1. dont quote the variables object. 2. dont add the source to the serviceCreate mutation, add the source to the service with serviceConnect this will then trigger a deploy from the newly added source.

i get back an error

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "message": "Variable \"$input\" of required type \"ServiceCreateInput!\" was not provided.",
      "locations": [
        {
          "line": 1,
          "column": 11
        }
      ],
      "extensions": {
        "code": "BAD_USER_INPUT"
      }
    }
  ]
}

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "message": "Variable \"$input\" of required type \"ServiceCreateInput!\" was not provided.",
      "locations": [
        {
          "line": 1,
          "column": 11
        }
      ],
      "extensions": {
        "code": "BAD_USER_INPUT"
      }
    }
  ]
}

nvm, I got it It still doesn't initiate a deploy though

updated my info, check again

eggsovereasyOP•12mo ago

Ok thanks i'll give that a swing I'm getting an error for 'not authrized' with connectService, using the same token i used to create the service

Brody•12mo ago

what kind of token are you using?

eggsovereasyOP•12mo ago

I created a team token on my account screen in the tokens section

Brody•12mo ago

is the service you are trying to do serviceConnect on in said team?

eggsovereasyOP•12mo ago

Yes

Brody•12mo ago

send your serviceConnect mutation please

eggsovereasyOP•12mo ago

mutation ($id: String!, $input: ServiceConnectInput!)
{
  serviceConnect(id: $id, input: $input) {
    id
    name
  }
}

mutation ($id: String!, $input: ServiceConnectInput!)
{
  serviceConnect(id: $id, input: $input) {
    id
    name
  }
}

Brody•12mo ago

scraper 🫤 are you aware that running a scraper on railway is generally against railway's tos?

eggsovereasyOP•12mo ago

I was not, we will come up with a different solution then

Brody•12mo ago

ill still figure this out for you, just dont use it to deploy a scraper lol

eggsovereasyOP•12mo ago

Ok sounds good, thank you

Brody•12mo ago

best not to risk the ban you are getting not authorized because that repo is tied to your personal account, thus you need to use a personal token when making that api request railways dashboard uses the correct token automatically
