Theme

Expected behavior

Working with the new meta object storefront template pages, you should be able to create a theme section that is restricted to only be enabled on or disabled on a specific meta object page template. Example:

To set the enable or disable property to actually render on the storefront theme you have to specify the meta object template type with metaobject/{template name} otherwise Liquid won't render the section. But this syntax throws an error with the CLI.

  "enabled_on": {
    "templates": ["metaobject/fit_guide", "product"]
  },

Actual behavior

CLI throws an error or will not start up watcher when setting the enabled_on property for meta objects according to what will output in Shopify. Example

  "enabled_on": {
    "templates": ["metaobject/fit_guide", "product"]
  },

will cause

Reproduction steps

1. Create a section
2. Create a meta object that will output a storefront page and create the meta object template in the CMS.
3. Set the enabled_on configuration on the section to the required configuration to restrict that section to that meta object template eg:

"enabled_on": {
    "templates": ["metaobject/fit_guide", "product"]
  }

4. Attempt to run shopify theme push and observe error regarding a non valid enabled_on configuration

[JamiesonRoberts]

As a note to any one that comes across this, as a temporary workaround, I'm using negative logic to restrict the section output to only be for meta object templates. Example:

"disabled_on": {
    "templates": [
      "404",
      "article",
      "blog",
      "cart",
      "collection",
      "list-collections",
      "customers/account",
      "customers/activate_account",
      "customers/addresses",
      "customers/login",
      "customers/order",
      "customers/register",
      "customers/reset_password",
      "gift_card",
      "index",
      "page",
      "product",
      "password",
      "search"
    ],
    "groups": ["*"]
  },

hi @JamiesonRoberts, thanks for reporting this issue 🙏 the fix for this problem actually won’t live on Shopify CLI, so we’ve forwarded your case to the proper team internally, but we’re closing this issue here. thanks for sharing this scenario and stay tuned on https://shopify.dev/changelog to get new updates about this

OP's issue still exsists, I'm running into exactly the same errors.

Shopify CLI 3.74.0

The enabled_on should really allow one to limit sections to specific templates, including template suffixes "page.contact" "metaobject.locations" etc.
