Admin API "Asset" PUT method - Create a section file not working

[dannyelo]

Hello!

I'm trying to test this endpoint to create a file in the sections folder of a selected theme. But I keep getting a non successful response.

This is the endpoint I'm working on:

app.put('/api/sections/install', async (_req, res) => {
  try {
    const session = res.locals.shopify.session
    const asset = new shopify.api.rest.Asset({ session: session })
    asset.theme_id = 97567768712
    asset.key = 'sections/test-section.liquid'
    asset.value = '<h1>This is a test section created from api</h1>'
    await asset.save({
      update: true,
    })
    res.status(200).send({ value: asset.value, id: asset.theme_id })
  } catch (error) {
    res.status(400).send({ message: error.message })
  }
})

The portion of the code that is causing the error is:

await asset.save({
  update: true,
})

Please help, I have spent hours trying and searching for an answer but not getting anywhere.

Thank you in advance,

Hi @dannyelo,

Seems that we have a similar problem. I have posted a workaround while we're waiting for them to fix this. I have reached out to the Shopify Partner regarding this issue and I do recommend you to send out a ticket as well.

Please refer to this link for the workaround:
