Error removing .web/_static/server in deploy

[hpharmsen]

I get errors while deploying. Somehow the reflex deploy statement tries to delete .web/_static/server but it is nog empty. See output below.

My command is

reflex deploy  --no-interactive -k electudetranslate -r fra

and then some environment variables.
The funny thing is: it always works when I immediately try the same command again.

Thanks for reporting, we will look into it. So it does work for you if you retry? Can you see if running just reflex export also causes this error?

[hpharmsen]

Yes it happens too when I just run reflex export.
And here too: just running reflex export again helps.

I suspect it has something to do with interference with the app running on localhost. If I first stop the reflex run command, then all seems fine. Reversely, when I have the app running on localhost and I do a reflex export the local server gives the message New packages detected: Updating app... and my app stops running locally.

@hpharmsen Ah got it that makes sense now. The website reloads whenever there's changes in the .web directory so doing an export while it's running may mess things up. There's probably a workaround for this, but I'd suggest just stopping the app before exporting or deploying as quick fix.
