Unable to update deployment with the same name

[andreisaikouski]

Expected behavior

Publishing with the same name would update the existing deployment.

Actual behavior

mdb-cli throws the following, requesting a new name:

Error The project name is already taken by one of your other projects. Please choose a different name.

Context

• mdb-cli version 3.4.0
• system: Mac BigSur v11.3

Try running mdb publish --override once - it should resolve the issue.

It's probably happening because of the change that we made to disallow creating projects with the same name. The --override flag should do the trick. Note that you only need to use it once - no need to add it every time.

Hi @catchmareck,
Thanks for the response.

This does not resolve the issue as running mdb backend publish -p node12 -n project-name --override throws:

   Error Could not publish: There were some errors.

Running mdb backend logs -n project-name just shows

   Fetching data...

NOTE: this codebase does work as expected and produces logs when creating a net new project

Furthermore, subsequently running mdb backend publish -p node12 -n project-name continues to throw the original error:

   Error The project name is already taken by one of your other projects. Please choose a different name.

Thanks
