Can't deploy Studio version to Production (alpha)

Post by cosmosch »

My game, Sparts, is in alpha release and is playable. I've received a handful of suggestions and minor bug reports, which I've fixed. I've confirmed the fixes appear on the Studio version, and are working as expected. However, when I try to deploy them to Production (for the alpha testers), the code doesn't change. The old version is still running.

Here's the process I'm using:

1) Upload files with changes to my account
2) Play the game in Studio (with dummy players)... everything works
3) Click "Commit my modifications now" in the source code area (with a comment)
4) Click "Commit & build a new version now" in the release version area (with a comment)
5) Click "Deploy to production" in the versions available area

I don't get any errors, and it looks like the scripts are working, but the version on Production is definitely different than the one in Studio.

What am I doing wrong in my deployment process?

This should be it, you described the process perfectly, it worked for me with exactly same steps :?

Hmm, it's a head-scratcher.

As a test, I uploaded a fake image to my /img directory and re-deployed, and it looks like now the Studio code was correctly moved to Production. I'm not sure why that would've made any difference, but there you go.

What you describe is the correct process. You can even skip 3) as the build phase will automatically start with a commit.
For a brief period after rebuilding the alpha game server (that suffered a harware crash one week ago), deploy didn't work, but it has been fixed for a while now.
If it happens again, please let us know with the details of the version number and an example of a code line that was changed so that we can check what's happening.
