Docker Error build during Deployment on Railway services
please I had previously deployed my Django project on Railway which worked fine. Unfortunately, when I tried to add up SendGrid mail functionality by using django-sendgrid-v5
package to help me handle that, everything worked pretty well in the development environment including SendGrid mails like Signup user.
However, when I deployed it on Railway which uses Nixpacks to manage its default project build, I kept getting this weird error that ENV cannot be blank. I followed their deployment procedures on Python since they have a similar deployment infrastructure to Heroku. I made sure that all the (env) variables needed to run the project in their platform were set correctly. I had checked my settings.py files and my .env files to know whether I was missing anything there, but I could not find the error. I even uninstall the django-sendgrid-v5 which I believed could have introduced the error, still my deployment kept on crashing.
Below is the deployment build code which has been persistent.

ERROR: failed to solve: dockerfile parse error on line 12: ENV names can not be blank
Error: Docker build failed`
I had looked up the possible solutions but to no avail. How to remove that blank ENV is what I don't know how to do or sort out since they built the project automatically.
Please, your help and sorting this issue out would be really appreciated. Thank you.
You have added an empty env variable on railway:
ENV =$ <<--- here's it
check the "Variables" tab on Railway you might have something like:
