Hi!
I consistently encounter the error “Error: ssh shell: wait: remote command exited without exit status or exit signal” whenever I attempt to access the Rails console using commands like fly ssh console --pty -C "bin/rails c" in my WSL2 environment.
I have another Rails app developed in the same conditions and I don’t have any problems getting into the Rails console by the same commands.
I kept re-installing openssh-client & openssh-server and change the configuration but without success.
I’m not an expert in SSH and I feel like I tried all the solutions I found. Do you guys have any suggestions? Is anyone available and willing to debug this together in a session maybe? I’ll appreciate any kind of help
Note:
Is there any way to get into the Rails console without using SSH?
Is there any way to get into the Rails console of my app within the Fly.io platform? If not, do you guys think of adding this feature soon?
Hey, sorry for the confusion but I’m having these problems with an app on my company’s email (minerzz.it@gmail) which was created like 2 months ago - I know I’m logged in here from my personal account.
I have WORKDIR /rails in my Dockerfile (I can’t remember how I generated the Dockerfile or where I got this from )
Running fly ssh console works but I’m getting ExecJS::RuntimeUnavailable: Could not find a JavaScript runtime. See https://github.com/rails/execjs for a list of available runtimes. when running /bin/rails c inside.
node --version returns -bash: node: command not found but /usr/local/node/bin/node --version return the correct version 20.10.0 => I think it’s a problem with the ENV PATH.
I fixed that problem within the connection but when I try to run bin/rails console afterwards the connection ends suddenly.
I also tried to append $PATH instead of adding the Node’s path at the start of $PATH in Dockerfile and re-deploy the app but I’m getting the same error regarding ExecJS::RuntimeUnavailable (and it looks like Node’s path is not added at all to $PATH). Am I doing something wrong?
Here’s the whole Dockerfile for more context:

I just upgraded to 512MB and it worked! Thanks a lot!
P.S.: I still don’t understand why Node is not installed properly from the Dockerfile during the build phase (I keep having to run export PATH=“$PATH:/usr/local/node/bin” before accessing my console). Do you have any suggestions on that?
