Rails deployment fails at bundle exec rails assets:precomile

I recently upgraded my project to Rails 7. Locally I can run bundle exec rails assets:precompile however when I try to deploy with fly the deployment fails:

#23 16.19 Compiling...
#23 18.46 Compilation failed:

Error failed to fetch an image or build from source: error building: executor failed running [/bin/bash -c bundle exec rails assets:precompile]: exit code: 1

I was using a pretty old version of yarn so I upgraded with yarn set version stable.

Now I’m seeing this error message:

 => ERROR [stage-4 3/5] COPY --from=node_modules /app/node_modules /app/node_modules                                      0.0s

------
Error failed to fetch an image or build from source: error building: failed to compute cache key: "/app/node_modules" not found: not found

I’m not particular about the version of Yarn I use, I’d be willing to revert to the old version if I could get it working.

For additional context I’m including these lines of my dockerfile:

In order to help, I’d need to see more of the Dockerfile. The Dockerfiles we currently generate look a bit different, though I can’t think of any changes we made that would help here.

Thanks, I’ve included the full Dockerfile… I’m not entirely sure where this came from, I assumed it was fly launch back in June.

Looks like it. Currently produced Dockerfiles tend to look like this:

ARG YARN_VERSION=1.22.19
. . .
RUN volta install node@${NODE_VERSION} yarn@${YARN_VERSION}

In other words, it will install the version of Yarn that you specify, not whatever is latest.

But even with that Dockerfile, I can’t explain why node_modules would be missing.

Our story on upgrades after you make a significant change to your application isn’t the best right now (but we’re working on it, see: Dockerfile-less-deploys · The Ruby Dispatch ). If you are willing, I would suggest a clean start: in a separate directory run 'rails new foo -j webpack; cd foo; fly launch. Let it pick a name. Don't allocate postgres or redis. Copy the Dockerfileandlib/tasks/fly.rakefiles over to your application. Compare thefly.tomlfiles and copy over any relevant changes. Delete the fly application you just created either usingflyctl apps destroy` or the dashboard.
