Run Selenium headless browser on Railway using Python
Hey there!
I'm trying to run a Selenium instance in my Railway app, but not able to initialize the driver. Is it possible to run Selenium applications on Railway? Sorry if it's obvious!
I tried a few different things, but can't seem to be able to make the binary for the driver accessible to the application. The application runs locally but not when deployed to Railway.
1 - Using the webdriver_manager module
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install()), options=options)
2 - Manually adding geckodriver to the package
driver = webdriver.Firefox('drivers/', options=options)
Source for Selenium portion of the code - https://github.com/pleblira/siggy_scrape_no_pyproject/blob/main/send_tweet.py
Will post the logs in the next message.
Thanks so much in advance.

Can't build python application, src folder not being found
Hey there! Looking for some help with deploying a python application to Railway.
It's the first time I'm deploying an application with a pyproject.toml file instead of main.py+requirements.txt.
Source: https://github.com/pleblira/siggy_scrape
If I use
python3 -m build to create the build and pip install it to an anaconda environment, the application installs and runs fine.
When I try to deploy it to Railway, though, I run into the error below. It seems it can't find the src folder (second to last line)?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!
