[SOLVED] Function deployment deploys older deployment in the appwrite cloud

Hi.

Here's what's being happening to me with cloud functions.

So, I have some test cloud function that returns some json data.

When I change my function file locally and run appwrite deploy function command, it deploys a code that was previously in the file, not the latest version.

If I run the command again, it will deploy the latest version I have.

For some reason I have to make two deployments in order to make latest one actually being deployed.

Has anyone experienced this?

const sdk = require("node-appwrite");

/*
  'req' variable has:
    'headers' - object with request headers
    'payload' - request body data as a string
    'variables' - object with function variables

  'res' variable has:
    'send(text, status)' - function to return text response. Status code defaults to 200
    'json(obj, status)' - function to return JSON response. Status code defaults to 200

  If an error is thrown, a response with code 500 will be returned.
*/

module.exports = async function (req, res) {
  const client = new sdk.Client();

  // You can remove services you don't use
  const account = new sdk.Account(client);
  const avatars = new sdk.Avatars(client);
  const database = new sdk.Databases(client);
  const functions = new sdk.Functions(client);
  const health = new sdk.Health(client);
  const locale = new sdk.Locale(client);
  const storage = new sdk.Storage(client);
  const teams = new sdk.Teams(client);
  const users = new sdk.Users(client);

  if (
    !req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_ENDPOINT'] ||
    !req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_API_KEY']
  ) {
    console.warn("Environment variables are not set. Function cannot use Appwrite SDK.");
  } else {
    client
      .setEndpoint(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_ENDPOINT'])
      .setProject(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_PROJECT_ID'])
      .setKey(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_API_KEY'])
      .setSelfSigned(true);
  }

  res.json({
    req: req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_API_KEY'],
    env: process.env.TEST,
    hello: 'World'
  });
};

This is the function whole code and only changes I am currently making is inside res.json just to see different outputs in the logs

Did you have selected the function when deploying?

I mean, selected it with the space bar

Yes

Then not sure

You're using visual studio code?

Yeah

I can maybe make a one minute video if needed

Then not sure what could be happening. I'm using VS code without inconveniences. Maybe you didn't saved the file previously? I think it's not probably, but just in case 😅

I did save it

I supposed 😬

Then not sure what's happening

These are the steps I do

• Make a change in my index file and save it
• make a deployment
• deployment gets in the appwrite console and I activate that deployment
• I run execution
• In logs I see the data format from previous version
• I run deployment again without any code changes
• I activate deployment in the console
• I run the execution
• Latest data format is now shown in the logs

Update.

I tried to deploy a second function.

First time deployment - I saw it being built inside appwrite console as it was being deployed and it disappeared after 2 seconds.

Then I had to run deploy command again to deploy it.

🤷

deployment gets in the appwrite console and I activate that deployment

I think it gets activated automatically so you may be activating the old one

I click to activate the latest one I see built in the console, I didn't know it's automatic

That seems to be the problem

You're activating the old one

Ah it seems I actually was. 👀

Sory, all good then.
