Deploying specific version doesn't seem to work

[orkineric]

When we try to deploy a version other than latest, it seems to ignore the version and silently deploy the most recent version of the code.

Thanks, we will work on this ASAP!

Did this ever get addressed?

I just encountered the same issue in the latest release (0.4.1). I know the Python API for starting deployments does support the revision but it looks like it isn't exposed in the CLI:

ae5 deployment start --help
Usage: ae5 deployment start [OPTIONS] PROJECT
  Start a deployment for a project.
  The PROJECT identifier need not be fully specified, and may even include
  wildcards. But it must match exactly one project.
  If the static endpoint is supplied, it must be of the form
  r'[A-Za-z0-9-]+', and it will be converted to lowercase. It must not match
  any endpoint with an active deployment, nor can it match any endpoint
  claimed by another project, even if that project has no active
  deployments. If the endpoint is not supplied, it will be autogenerated
  from the project name.
  By default, this command will wait for the completion of the deployment
  creation before returning. To return more quickly, use the --no-wait
  option.
Options:
  --name TEXT              Deployment name. If not supplied, it is
                           autogenerated from the project name.
  --endpoint TEXT          Endpoint name. If not supplied, a generated
                           subdomain will be used.
  --command TEXT           The command to use for this deployment.
  --resource-profile TEXT  The resource profile to use for this deployment.
  --public / --private     Make the deployment public/private (default).
  --wait                   Wait for the deployment to complete initialization
                           before exiting.
  --stop-on-error          Stop the deployment if it fails on the first
                           attempt. Implies --wait.
  --open                   Open a browser upon initialization. Implies --wait.
  --frame                  Include the AE banner when opening.
  --help-format            Get help on the output formatting options.
  --help-filter            Get help on the row filtering options.
  --help-login             Get help on the global authentication options.
  --help                   Show this message and exit.

I would expect a --revision option which can accept a tag label or latest. This is likely an easy thing to fix so I'll see if I can get a PR in whenever I get a chance.

I know this is a very late update but I encountered an issue with deployment restart that caused it to drop the fixed version. Investigating that fix led me to conclude that this may be a documentation issue but could also benefit from a CLI change.

Specifically, AE5 actually supports a "revision" syntax where you can specific a specific version of a project by appending it to the name or ID of the project followed by a colon; e.g.

a0-ec9bca321e5047e9b6417e88e5c8510e:0.2.0
k8s:0.1.9

Supplying this to the deployment start command should allow you to fix the version number. However, I agree that a --revision option would be clearer.
