Deployment Issue for Multi-Root project

[gntpet]

Hey @freddydk,

I have these projects/apps stored in multi-root repository

project SRS.Core, whic has 4 apps

• SRS.Core
• email-queue
• dynamic-layout
• import-salary-journal

project SRS.it, which has single app

• SRS.it

project SRS.no, which has single app

• SRS.no

Here is the depdency graph between these apps:

if I specify SRS.it in PROJECTS secret, deployment code nicely finds dependencies and publishes 4 apps: SRS.it, SRS.core, email-queue, dynamic-layout apps

But, I also want to deploy app import-salary-journal, so i change my secret to : SRS.it, SRS.core (since i must specify 'projects' here)

Now, deployment codes sees duplicate apps and fails with an error

Is it a bug, or is this limitation on purpose?
What was the reason behind using 'PROJECTS' secret, instead of 'APPS' secret? Now, I specify list of projects to deploy, instead of list of APPS to deploy. Wonder what is the idea behind? I find it a bit limited, since I'm forced to deploy all apps from the project.

Best Regards,
Gintautas

Sounds like a bug
Any chance you could allow me access to the repo to have something to test on?
I would create a private fork and remove once done.

Note that you can provide projects in settings also (if you don't want to use secrets).
I will also consider adding support for project/app or simply app in project description.

I will contact you through Yammer

Got it, will try to repro

I have fixed the first issue in BcContainerHelper - and it should be in preview in approx. 1 hour.
I have added the request of using project/app to the backlog as a request, but the original idea is that projects should be shippable units, meaning that you would have apps together with dependent apps in one project (or in one repo if using single project repos).
Hence the artifacts - you always get all apps from a project in one .zip file together.
You can add a setting to .github\AL-Go-Settings.json called BcContainerHelper and specify the value "preview", then you will use the preview.
You can also upgrade to the preview of AL-Go, which automatically uses BcContainerHelper preview.
