Improve `--replace-indexer` message when redeploying an indexer #1461

Open Braqzen opened 10 months ago

I had a service running in the docker container which did not include the --replace-indexer flag.

When I have altered an indexer and wanted to redeploy it I was presented with a message telling me to add the --replace-indexer flag but it did not tell me where to use it.

I have assumed that I was meant to replace

forc index deploy

with

forc index deploy --replace-indexer

but that was insufficient.

To fix the issue and redeploy the new version of the indexer I had to start the indexer service with that --replace--indexer flag in order for the flag in the deploy command to work.

Solution: replace the current message to inform the user that both the service and the deploy command must provide the --replace-indexer flag in order to redeploy an indexer under the same name.

Loud and clear.

When you initially run for index deploy after altering the service, the message should read Indexer({namespace}. {identifier}) already exists. Use --replace-indexer to re-start the indexer service and again during deployment.
