Fly launch error: Could not find App

Questions / Help

Hi,

I thought it was relevant to the deployment issues, but now that they are resolved and I still have mine, I’m not so sure about it.
Yesterday I tried to launch a new app on Fly.io and still can’t do it. The error is persistent.

I’m trying to deploy a simple Phoenix 1.6.15 app with fly v0.0.424 darwin/arm64 Commit: d78c6f3c BuildDate: 2022-10-27T20:12:34Z, and getting the Error Could not find App after creating a release. On the dashboard, DB seems healthy, and the app has a yellow icon. The app’s status is “pending” (I tried to leave it as is for a few hours yesterday - it didn’t help).

Here is the log with the relevant steps. Let me know if you need any specific data.


mix phx.new myapp

...

cd myapp

fly launch

Error Could not find App

I tried different regions and app names (manual and auto-generated), but it didn’t help either.

Just learned about the LOG_LEVEL env var, and here is the debug output for the last operation:

Error Could not find App

Hi! Looks like you found a bug in the latest flyctl, where the app name isn’t sent properly on deploy during fly launch.

We’re* testing a fix, but in the meantime, you can get around this by saying N to deploying during launch, and run fly deploy manually.

*the collective “we”; actually it’s @rugwiro

Oh wow, it works this way! I probably should’ve posted about the issue earlier…

Thank you!

This should be fixed in the latest release, 0.0.425. Thanks for raising this issue.

7

Hmm, I’m still getting this error with 0.0.425: Cart icon in header, closes LBC-173, closes #325 · commonknowledge/leftbookclub@12e2418 · GitHub

Running the same deploy commands locally does work, however. Is this a Github Actions-specific issue?

8

Can you try adding LOG_LEVEL=debug to the pipeline?

Re-ran the build with debug logging: Allow third parties to call the Shopify sync webhook endpoint · commonknowledge/leftbookclub@3b730be · GitHub

10

Is the deploy token used here have access to the production app? This error can happen if using a token without access.

11

Oh snap. I guess I changed the Fly token a while back and forgot!? Thanks for the help @jsierles, checking fly auth token and updating the Github secret fixed it.

It’d be helpful if the Fly error message was a bit more explicit about what went wrong :slight_smile: — the auth token was invalid!

Indeed, it took me a little while to figure it out as well!
