Question

I am using swa cli to deploy my static web app. This requests me to create a new static web app project, even though I have an existing one and have successfully deploy multiple time. If I reply "no", I get the error

Checking project settings...

If I reply yes, I get:

Answer 1

I found that --verbose=silly could be used in swa-deploy, and from there on I saw that it could find my swa in the cloud, and automatically tried to deploy there. What I did then was to create another swa project in the portal. When I after that ran swa deploy, I was prompted to select project, and I selected my newly created one. I could deploy without issues now, and I could change the "appName" in the swa-cli.config.json-file to my original project, and I could once again deploy using the swa cli
