Build error: "Unable to build profile"

Not sure what this build error means or what to do about it. project id = 2090e121-cc62-4fbe-9114-5349121f7893 This project pulls data from APIs in sequence. It was just Rust, but after adding a Python data loader and using custom build/start commands, this error comes up. I specified both the Rust and Python Providers as well as my custom build and start commands. From what I can find from searching myself, this looks like a nix problem with merging, but I'm not sure how to handle or prevent that in Railway. relevant log output:

You will likely want to move to a custom Dockerfile for your build

Draak•3mo ago

@Brody thanks for the quick reply. Do you think it could work with a custom nixpacks? To avoid a potentially messy dockerfile I would probably opt to make several mono-lingual services in railway instead 😅

Brody•3mo ago

why does the Dockerfile have to be messy?

Draak•3mo ago

Because I'm terrible at maintaining them 😂

Brody•3mo ago

what is the main language in use in this app?

Draak•3mo ago

Rust. But that rust will slowly move over to TypeScript as the primary as I add more APIs to pull from.

Brody•3mo ago

typescript? what happened to python?

Draak•3mo ago

It's not one "app." I'm using whatever SDK is best supported to pull stuff from Stripe, Discord, Instagram etc. I just run them each one at a time.

Brody•3mo ago

at this time does your deployment need node too?

Draak•3mo ago

not yet.

Brody•3mo ago

okay so just rust as the provider and python as a dependency?

Draak•3mo ago

hmmm the rust doesn't call the python. It's kind of backwards right now since my build and start scripts are just proc calls in python. so I guess it's python provider and a rust dependency? Not sure how to apply those words to this configuration

Brody•3mo ago

interesting I still believe this would be best done with a Dockerfile, it's going to give you by far the most control over the build process

Draak•3mo ago

yeah it's definitely doable in a Docker file. I'll play around a bit and see what I can do. In the end it sounds like this particular error is a sign something too complicated is going on in the build?

Brody•3mo ago

sounds about right!

Draak•3mo ago

thanks for the help! I appreciate it
