Hello, my project has been failing to publish for several days across 19+ consecutive attempts and unfortunately Replit Support has left me on read for nearly 3 days now. The build phase completes cleanly every time (all tests pass, image layers pushed, SOCI index manifest pushed), but the deployment is then marked as failed with no error message and zero runtime logs afterward.
The app runs perfectly in the development environment — stable memory, no crashes. The issue is specifically in the promote step, after the image is fully built.
What the build logs show (every attempt):
-
All tests pass
-
Pushing pid1 binary layer... Created -
Pushing Repl layer... Created -
Pushing hosting layer... Created -
Retrieved cached nix layer -
Pushed image manifest -
Pushed soci index manifest -
(log ends — no runtime output, no error)
Deployment config: Reserved VM (GCE provider)
The previous successful build from May 9 is still serving live traffic. I’ve confirmed the code hasn’t changed in a way that would cause a crash — the dev server is healthy. This looks like a platform-side issue in the VM promotion step.
Has anyone else seen this? Is there a known workaround or should I continue at the mercy of their assuredly not 24 hour response time?
thanks much for any insight, jimmy
