nixpacks can't create a build plan
project id 93688d4f-b1a7-49e5-b5ac-2b1d92a7d6b1
I'm trying to deploy a monolithic full stack app with a go server that serves a static react app. The dockerfile in the root of my directory is set up to build everything the way i want it to deploy so I thought nixpacks would just take that and run it but it's saying it can't generate a build plan. Is it possible this is because I'm using bun to build the react app, or would something else be causing it?

what is the name of your Dockerfile?
it's just
dockerfileSolution
needs a capital D
oh i see!!! it worked with the lowercase d locally lol my bad
question, did you come across this page? - https://docs.railway.app/reference/dockerfiles
I didn't, why?
was wondering if this addition would have helped
probably would be a useful change, but I found out because you told me about it so it just never came up until now
or you may have told me and i forgot lol
now i know it wouldn't have helped, but can i inquire as to why you came here instead of searching the docs?
I did look at the docs, I was just looking in the wrong place because the deploy error came from nixpacks and I didn't have any reason to suspect there was a problem with my dockerfile
ahhh that makes sense, docs can't help you an XY problem
yeah
spent a bunch of time like "wait there's a dockerfile, what problem could there be with making a build plan?"
might be a specific error that would be worth having a specific error message for, especially because docker itself is case-insensitive when it's looking for a dockerfile
it might be, thank you for the input
have any other questions?
no that's all I had, thanks so much for your help!
no problem!
