Overview

I'm currently using sst.dev to deploy some of my infrastructure to support our Shopify app. I notice that sst will copy the shopify.web.toml file multiple time to it's local cache directory located at .sst/.

After a sst deploy if I run shopify app deploy it will throw an error saying "You can only have one web with the backend role in your app"

On further inspection I noticed that the function loadWebs will automatically look for any shopify.web.toml file. If I look at the value of webTomlPaths in that function I can see it found the following paths:

• ./myapp/shopify.web.toml
• ./myapp/.sst/dist/asset.1c2820b0c6ebda7219ed80571b3403754fad21f218a63c84f4c2343838f6c325/shopify.web.toml
• ./myapp/.sst/dist/asset.26364bf4695807ba459400fe064778d5687f8f8568eb65e9ebcbd5e65106cc6f/shopify.web.toml
• ./myapp/.sst/dist/asset.b13cfda5f566a8a060902ce8e5de6140482397ca4f5b7000858edfb54a0ce02c/shopify.web.toml
• ./myapp/.sst/dist/asset.e92036fdbd0dbc9c73bc238a935ab561ced0076bb90cf3cd8fdb4c6541295cc6/shopify.web.toml

It would be nice if there was a way to have the contents of .gitignore added to webConfigGlobs so that it would ignore any other cases like this. Personally I would always want it to use .gitignore but I imagine there are cases where someone would want that to be configurable.

This might also be classified as a bug, but I figured it was a bit of an edge case.

I'm also happy to open a PR around this if it's something ya'll deem useful. My workaround at the moment is to force delete the .sst directory before running shopify app deploy in our ci/cd pipeline.

Motivation

I was running into this issue when trying to run shopify app deploy while also working with sst.dev. Figured it would be something that others might run into.

You could also workaround by putting your web.toml in a specific directory and setting web_directories accordingly

A PR would be very welcome! I'm not sure about loading from .gitignore by default -- that would be a change that might break some unusual existing workflows. Maybe we could make web_directories smarter -- if an option starts with a ! include it in the negation list (we already do some of this to avoid loading from node_modules for instance).

This is also an issue when using direnv.

# amended value (only looks for a shopify.web.toml in the current directory): https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/structure#configuration
+ web_directories = ["."]
