Convex Auth in production
Hi everyone,
I’m deploying my Vite React app to Railway from a GitHub repo with Convex, and I’ve run into an issue. My build script works fine with:
"build": "tsc -b && vite build && npx convex deploy"However, when I add Convex Auth initialization for production:
"build": "tsc -b && vite build && npx convex deploy && npx @convex-dev/auth --prod"the deployment fails with the following error:
! No source control detected. We strongly recommend committing the current state of your code before proceeding. ... ERROR: failed to solve: process "/bin/bash -ol pipefail -c tsc -b && npx convex deploy && vite build && npx @convex-dev/auth --prod" did not complete successfully: exit code: 130My current scripts:
"scripts": { "dev": "vite", "build": "tsc -b && vite build && npx convex deploy && npx @convex-dev/auth --prod", "lint": "eslint .", "preview": "vite preview" }Is this the right way to initialize Convex Auth during production deployment? If not, what would be the recommended approach to ensure the @convex-dev/auth setup runs correctly for production? Thanks in advance for your help!

Thank you!
You only need to run
@convex-dev/auth --prod once from your local project to set it up
No need to run it in CDOh, this explains it. Thank you so much! 😊
Is it considered best practice to include
npx convex deploy in the build script?
"build": "tsc -b && vite build && npx convex deploy"
Best practice is something like
npx convex deploy --cmd 'npm run build'
You pass your build command to convex deploy, so if convex deploy fails your build doesn't run
