I'm trying to connect to a Github repository. It's all properly formatted (just a clone of Dawn for now). I'm able to successfully find the repo and select the branch, and get a happy green checkmark - but, the theme never shows up in the store's theme library.
Here is a Loom recording:
https://www.loom.com/share/ae889f14ac904adab3c22bd78ceff462
This is a development store, if that makes any difference.
Some other information - perhaps some of this is causing the issue (but i'd still expect an error message):
- The store is managed by `dev@mycompany.com`, and I'm logged in with that account
- I authorized the Github application with my personal account `me@some-other-email.com`
In chrome devtools, after clicking on the branch, I see this in the network requests:
-> graphql?opreation=GihubConnectMutation
{
"data": {
"onlineStoreVersionControlCreateNewThemeFromGithubBranch": {
"newTheme": null,
"__typename": "OnlineStoreVersionControlCreateNewThemeFromGithubBranchPayload"
}
},
"extensions": {
"cost": {
"requestedQueryCost": 10,
"actualQueryCost": 10,
"throttleStatus": {
"maximumAvailable": 1000.0,
"currentlyAvailable": 990,
"restoreRate": 50.0
}
}
}
}
EDIT: I tried this on another store - for which I have collaborator access -- and it worked there :S
The output from the same request was:
{
"data": {
"onlineStoreVersionControlCreateNewThemeFromGithubBranch": {
"newTheme": {
"id": "gid:\/\/shopify\/OnlineStoreTheme\/120692572273",
"__typename": "OnlineStoreTheme"
},
"__typename": "OnlineStoreVersionControlCreateNewThemeFromGithubBranchPayload"
}
},
"extensions": {
"cost": {
"requestedQueryCost": 10,
"actualQueryCost": 10,
"throttleStatus": {
"maximumAvailable": 1000.0,
"currentlyAvailable": 990,
"restoreRate": 50.0
}
}
}
}
Having the exact same issue with some of the shops I've been working on.
This bug appeared this Sunday, and I'll add that it happened to one store that I've managed to connect branches before, and since this Sunday I can't add new branches.
Hope we find a solution to this problem soon.
I got exactly the same issue with my development store. Connection successfull with my branch, but the theme does appear in the library. I wrote a ticket for the shopify parnter support. No answer yet. :I Maybe someone here who solved the problem?
Yes I'm having the same issue, tried 3 different browsers no change.
I had the same issues and realised it was due the branch name. I had a hashtag in my branch name. When I removed this and tried again it worked 👍 Hope this helps
