Not allowed to change or delete some files requested

[arlopezg]

Hey there,

I'm trying to deploy a micro but I'm getting the error from the title instead.

This is basically what happened:

1. deta new --python
2. First few deploys worked just fine
3. Changed some files, formatted, linted, etc.
4. Try to deploy again and got the error

Prerequisites

• [x] I checked the documentation and found no answer
• [x] I checked to make sure that this issue has not already been filed
• [x] I'm reporting the issue to the correct repository (for multi-repository projects)

Expected Behavior

I'd like to know the specific files that can't be modified/deleted or another way to fix my deploys.

Current Behavior

When running deta deploy either locally or in a CI workflow using an access token, I get the following error:

❯ deta deploy Deploying... Error: failed to deploy: Not allowed to change or delete some files requested

Context

• Operating System: Mac OSX 10.15.7
• SDK version: deta v1.1.2-beta x86_64-darwin

Failure Logs

None that I know of.

Nevermind, I just figured it out I think. I had moved my main.py to another folder and restoring it back to the root directory allowed me to deploy again.

Still, a clearer error message would be much appreciated

Is there a way to change the location of the main.py?

@Weapon-X6 not at the moment sorry, main.py has to be present in the root directory of the Micro.
