rsconnect::deployApp() => requested object does not exist

nick-youngblut commented 1 year ago

I used rsconnect::deployApp() to initially deploy a Shiny app to a Connect instance hosted on a local server.
Updating the deployment of the app via rsconnect::deployApp() worked successfully.
I then deleted the Shiny app within the Connect GUI.
When I tried to re-deploy the app (recreate it on Connect) via rsconnect::deployApp(), I received the following error:

Error: HTTP 404
  GET http://10.22.20.45/__api__/applications/9
  The requested object does not exist.

rsconnect::application()shows that http://10.22.20.45/__api__/applications/9 no longer exists on that server, but rsconnect::deployApp() keeps trying to use that API url instead of "realizing" that the app no longer exists and thus instead creating a new deployment.

I can't figure out a way to "force" re-create the app on Connect via rsconnect::deployApp. The rsconnect::deployApp docs don't seem to describe a way of re-deploying an app after it is deleted in Connect.

I had to re-deploy the app via the publish button in Workbench. This created http://10.22.20.45/__api__/applications/12. I then tried using rsconnect::deployApp() to update the app, but the function created a new version of the app: http://10.22.20.45/__api__/applications/13. Subsequent runs of rsconnect::deployApp() successfully update the 13 deployment.

Could you try rsconnect::deployments to enumerate the known deployments and then rsconnect::forgetDeployment to remove specific records?

rsconnect::forgetDeployment(appPath = ".", account = "USERNAME", server = "SERVER", name = "DEPLOYNAME")

aronatkins commented 1 year ago

One note: If attempting to remove records for a document rather than a Shiny application (e.g. index.Rmd, you'll need to use the filename as the appPath argument.

rsconnect::forgetDeployment(appPath = "./index.Rmd", ...)

rsconnect::forgetDeployment deployment fixed the issue. Maybe it would be helpful to provide that hint in the error:

Error: HTTP 404
  GET ${URL}/__api__/applications/${ID}
  The requested object does not exist.
