Getting `Oops, something went wrong! Could you try that again?` when attempting tutorial launch

I am stepping through the speedlaunch tutorial but keep getting the following error:

Oops, something went wrong! Could you try that again?

after invoking flyctl launch. The system does create an app in my org, that I can see in the admin panels, but it’s stuck in pending along with (I think) a helper app.

user@host:~$ flyctl apps list
NAME                            OWNER           STATUS  LATEST DEPLOY
billowing-dream-541             personal        pending
fly-builder-summer-shape-4169   personal        pending

I’ve tried running this several times, but it’s always the same outcome. Is there someplace else to look for details about the error?

  • my email is verified
  • my billing is connected
  • my flyctl is from today
user@host:~$ flyctl version
flyctl v0.0.262 linux/amd64 Commit: 0d150b0 BuildDate: 2021-12-08T12:04:40Z

Will you try running LOG_LEVEL=debug flyctl launch and paste the output here?

It might be trying to use local Docker and failing with a bad error. The logs should help us figure that out.

After upgrading I’m able to login but I get the same error when I do flyctl launch. I’m able to answer the questions but after the "Created app […] in organization personal" message it fails with"Oops, something went wrong! Could you try that again?" and my local folder is empty.

I also tried:

  • Adding --verbose but doesn’t print anything different
  • Selecting a different region and name
  • Passing the --image flyio/hellofly:latest

All produce the same error with no new files in the directory. In the fly.io dashboard I see the app with status “Pending”, no activity and no IP assigned.

@dmf I moved your post here because it appears to be the same issue. Will you try running LOG_LEVEL=debug fly launch and paste the log output here?

This might be the issue you’re hitting. What kind of apps are you trying to run fly launch against?

@kurt here’s the output:

I do have an existing instance of docker running, as well as an existing Tailscale (Wireguard) instance.

I get the same debug messages.

Regarding the kind of app, I was simply following the Getting Started. I also tried the image from here:

This was a bug in the last release of our CLI. It’s fixed in the latest, so if you run flyctl version update you should be good to go!

I was using 0.0.262. With 0.0.265 it works, thank you :slight_smile:

Thanks, yes using 0.0.265 solved it.
