Function deploys from wrong git branch

Hi there,

I've changed my function via settings to point to the main-appwrite branch of my repo. However no matter what I do, it only will deploy from the main branch (which I originally set it to). Is this a bug?

TL;DR

User is experiencing an issue where function deployments are not deploying from the correct git branch. They tried deleting and pushing new code, but that didn't work. There is a suggestion to create a new branch and push changes, which successfully deployed from the correct branch but increased build time. The user wonders if the branch name matters and requests a GitHub issue to be created. Another user confirms the issue and provides steps to reproduce it. The suggestion is made to push a commit to the new branch to trigger a deployment. The original user explains that they created a function pointing to the main branch, pushed changes causing a failed deployment, created a new branch

how are the deployments triggered?

Manually

How exactly?

So when I created the function, it was pointing at the main branch. Pushing a change to this branch caused it to deploy. The deploy failed due to an error. I then created a new branch, main-appwrite and fixed the error. I changed the Github function settings to point to the new branch and clicked "update." Then when I clicked re-deploy, it redeployed from the main branch as if the configs were not updated. I triple-checked and fiddled with the settings a bunch but nothing worked and I ran out of ideas

So that redeploys the last build...you can try pushing a commit to the main-appwrite branch to get appwrite to fetch the latest code

Okay, I just tried that. Appwrite detected the push to the main-appwrite branch and this triggered a redeploy. However it again deployed the main branch. The change to the target branch in the settings pane just isn't getting picked up

I was able to reproduce it:

Create a new function from a Github repository
Change the branch
Push new code / redeploy
The original branch gets deployed

hmm would you please create a github issue for this?

im pretty sure redeploying just creates a new build with the previous code. what's strange is that you said pushing to the new branch doesn't trigger a deployment for that branch...

it seems like it might not be consistent...but i was able to update the new branch and get a deployment triggered with the new brnach

I created another branch called test and pushed a change and it actually deployed from the correct branch this time, but build time has gone through the roof 🤔 Unsure if that is a separate issue. The only difference between the branches is the addition of a test.txt file.

I'm wondering now if the name of the branch matters

ya i got that sometimes too...it's inconsistent =/ it'd be good to make 1 issue for these problems

Yikes this is still going and "redeploy" causes a weird API error

Ya I saw that too 😕

okay deleting and pushing new code worked
