Deployment Error: "error: undefined variable 'python38' "

I am trying to deploy the latest version of an app I have built a while ago and I now get an error during build step with the following:

error: undefined variable 'python38'

My nixpacks.toml does choose to include it manually. It used to work. Is it no longer supported?

Solution:

set your engines.node to 16

if you have a nixpacks.toml file please send it

nixpacks.toml:

[phases.setup]
  nixPkgs = ['...','python38', 'gcc']

aptPkgs = ['build-essential', 'glibc-source']

[phases.setup]
  nixPkgs = ['...','python38', 'gcc']

aptPkgs = ['build-essential', 'glibc-source']

Got a pretty nasty "make" error this time.. I forgot the shortcut to save log and send here. How do I do that?

what version of node do you use locally?

ched_devOP•6mo ago

Currently 16x

and that app works on 16x?

It builds ok, I only added these python things because I was told it was needed for other parts of the framework.
