Graphcool init for @beta creates a new project when existing project is selected.

[steve-a-jones]

What is the current behavior?

graphcool init prompts for new or existing project ->
I select existing project for project list ->
graphcool outputs my selected (existing) project's name(id) ->
graphcool subsequently outputs "Creating project <random name>" ->
graphcool proceeds to create a new project (I verified in graph.cool gui) ->
graphcool generates starter files (.graphcoolrc, graphcool.yml, types.graphql) for newly created project

Please share the relevant part of your project (GraphQL schema, functions, permissions, ...) for easier reproduction

yarn global add graphcool@beta

graphcool version
graphcool/1.3.16-beta.26 (darwin-x64) node-v8.6.0

The existing project that I selected was newly set up and had not been modified yet with any schema updates or mutations.

To reproduce go to GUI and create new project, cd to a clean dir and run graphcool init.

If applicable, share the query, mutation or subscription for reproduction

What is the expected behavior?

graphcool should output project files for an existing project and not create a new one.

Hey @steve-a-jones, could you resolve this issue? 🙂 Maybe a better documentation is needed here?

[steve-a-jones]

Hey @marktani , initially I was under the impression that init for an existing project meant that I would be (re)generating an existing configuration into a local project -- somewhat analogous to a git clone.

Later I realized that init for an existing project means to "init" a new project while generating/copying the config based on an existing project.

pull is command you are looking for if this is what you want :)

graphcool pull -project doesnt work currently. Is there a different command to use to pull an existing project?

[steve-a-jones]

@GxDesign can you provide steps to reproduce?

[kbrandwijk]

graphcool pull is deprecated in the Framework Preview. You can upgrade a project from the console, and download the project definition there. @GxDesign does your question apply to the Framework Preview?

Hey, thanks! I figured that out tonight. I just downloaded the project from the browser. Im not quite sure if my case was regarding Framework Preview but it does seem that its deprecated.

Closing this, as the behaviour of init was changed in 0.6: https://github.com/graphcool/framework/issues/706
