I’m trying to deploy my app via the shopify-cli with an admin extension and it is failing with a non-specific error.

$ shopify app deploy

I have narrowed it down to a problem deploying the extension by removing the extensions directory entirely and then the deploy command works as expected.

Generating a single brand new extension via shopify app generate extension (Admin action → TypeScript React), making no additional changes to the generated code, and running shopify app deploy results in the same error.

I have run the command with --verbose and the node environment variable DEBUG=* for any additional information about the error and nothing stands out as useful.

$ node --version
v20.18.0

$ npm --version
10.8.2

$ shopify --version
@shopify/cli/3.80.7 darwin-arm64 node-v20.18.0

I can provide any other information that could be useful including my specific app or dev store ID if someone can check anything on the backend.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Ryan,

Are you still seeing this issue? If so, could you share your .toml file with any sensitive info removed, it should look something like:

[[extensions]]
name = "My admin link extension"
handle = "admin-link"
type = "admin_link"

[[extensions.targeting]]
target = "admin.product.action.link"
url = "/relative/app/path"

Some things you could try for debugging are:

  • Run shopify app info in your app root. Ensure your extension appears in the output under the correct type and directory.
  • Run shopify app dev to see if the extension can be previewed locally. This can surface config or build errors that block deployment.
