Flows - Updating version for app doesn't seem to reflect in CDF

Hi,

 

Currently been working on the deployment of an app through Flows, and during my first deployment + activation, it went well. The issue was that the name and description I had put was more so for a demo project (‘my-test-app’) than something descriptive. 

I tried first updating app.json with new values for name and description fields while simultaneously bumping the versionTag. Then I redeployed and activated once more. The output of the commands seemed like it had been successful, but when viewing the app in the CDF UI interface, it still said the old name while also stating that it was last updated during my first deployment.

Then I saw from the CLI that there was a ‘deactivate’ command. I wanted to try this in order to then see if I deactivated the one present and then deployed again now with a new externalId that it would hide the previous one and deploy correctly my one. But the wierd thing is that the output of this command says that there is no active version, while apps status lists it up with both new name and status: active. 

I also find that the lack of being able to remove what I currently have deployed is missing, as the deactivate option (although not working) seems to just hide it rather than remove it.

 

Best regards,

Are Berntsen
