ENV variable doesn't get overwritten properly
./frontend/.env
./frontend/src/App.tsx
This works locally as it requests
localhost. My desired behavior that it should request backend.customdomain.com when deployed to Railway, but it still requests localhost. I have attached two pictures that I set my variable to the correct value on Railway and I set my root directory to ./frontend.
I have tried reading the docs, but I can't figure out what am I doing wrong. Can you please help me?

Pushing your
.env to production is almost certainly the issue, as it may be overwriting existing environment variable that you've set in Railway with options from your .env.7 Replies

.env to production?You might find this guide helpful if you're deploying a monorepo

adding your .env to your .gitignore file and update, all your .env values should be added in your Railway Service Variables
