command `balena fleet restart <fleet>` gives error `BalenaApplicationNotFound`

[saveriogzz]

Setup

• balena-cli version 13.3.1
• openBalena running on remote server

Expected Behavior

When I run the command balena fleet restart <fleet> I expect all the devices of my fleet to reboot.

Actual Behavior

When running the aforementioned command, I get the error

BalenaApplicationNotFound: Application not found: 7

This happens both when specifying the fleet with its slug as well as solely the fleet's name.

Hello @saveriogzz. What environment are you targeting? Balena cloud or open balena? What are the results of running balena whoami? I am able to successfully reboot my fleet using balena fleet restart.

hey @toochevere , the balena whoami command gives me back USERNAME: admin. I'm targeting an openBalena environment.

Can you paste the result of the following commands?
balena fleets balena fleet <fleet>

If you find that balena fleet <fleets> in fact works (gives you fleet info) then try the following: 1) Create a new test user 2) Create a fleet for that test user 3) Do balena login with the test user's credentials 4) Try balena fleet restart <fleet and post the result.

Unfortunately, openBalena is single user and I'm not able to create a new user!

Ok, the problem is that fleet restart is not a function that exists on openBalena. It only exists currently on Balena Cloud.

This is extremely not clear, as evidenced by the fact that I was also not aware of this either. I am surfacing at a weekly product call internally a topic of how we can be more clear about what CLI functions are available on openBalena and which ones are not. In the meantime, however, you can open an issue on the openBalena repo if you wish.

Thanks @toochevere !
