"Invariant failed" on npm start about indie-stack

[brian-dlee]

I found the issue for anyone else who happens upon this. invariant is used to check for SESSION_SECRET and I did not have a SESSION_SECRET secret defined in Fly. Lo and behold, the README outlines this step just fine.

@mrkurt thanks for escalating this here. Still no success in overcoming this issue

[netdesignr]

@mrkurt ok, now that's weird. All fixed after I've tried rebuilding a couple of times. You might want to close this issue for now.

I'm getting this same exact issue with a freshly created app from Indie stack when deploying to Fly.io. npm start works fine locally. If any has any suggestions I'm open. I imagine it's not Fly related. I've tried changing NPM versions between node:16 node:16-bullseye-slim and node:14 and tried upgrading NPM to the latest with in the Docker container since I figured it could be a minor package version resolution issue difference between my Mac and the linux container. The node:14 container had an issue with the npx prisma ... command in start.sh, so it's inconclusive whether or not that would have worked.

edit

I do get the same error when starting up the docker container and running npm start
