Hello!
I have a custom app with a few extensions.
During development, at some point I updated the directory, name and handle of my shopify checkout ui extension in there. Some however I now ended up with the name in the partner app extension are still being the old one.
So, my code has dir:
extensions/my-extension-name
with in the toml file in that dir:
[[extensions]]
name = "my-extension-name"
handle = "my-extension-name"
In the partner area for my app on the extensions section, it has
Handle: "my-extension-name"
Name: "my-extension-OLD-name"
Every time I run shopify app dev, it asks me to
Match my-extension-name (local name) with my-extension-OLD-name (name on Shopify Partners, ID: 738139635713)?
> (y) Yes, match to existing extension
(n) No, create as a new extension
Which I then do (y)es and then I can just move on and dev.
Now, I want to get rid of this inconsistency and have the new name also in the partners area, and not get that match question anymore.
Apparently just deploying the app doesn’t change/fix this as I’ve been deploying a few times and it never changed name in the partner area.
Now my question is, can I just update the name in the partner extension area so it doesn’t have the OLD name anymore? Will this break anything on live?
The app is currently running on a couple of live sites and I can’t really risk breaking anything.
How can I fix this without causing problems? I’ve been reluctant to just try it in case something blows up…
Thanks
