Trying to setup “auto-deploy on push” but getting the message “Uh oh, build failed” when triggering from the dashboard.

- “Current Working Directory” is currently set to “phoenix\_app”

- “Config path” is set to “/phoenix\_app/flyio/fly.dev.toml”

- App code is in a nested directory of the git repo at /phoenix\_app

- Config file is at /phoenix\_app/flyio/fly.dev.toml

- Able to deploy via terminal using ‘fly deploy –config flyio/fly.dev.toml’ from the directory of my app: /phoenix\_app

- Logs from the dashboard do not indicate any build errors. The logs do work because I’m able to see regular logs generated from users accessing the deployed (via terminal) application

- Deployment failed between “Setup and pull from git repository” (green) and “Build image” (grey)
