Theme

Expected behavior

When you have an environment config set up in file shopify.theme.toml set, with a theme specified, running either

shopify theme dev or shopify theme pull

Will use the theme specified in your evironment.

shopify.theme.toml
---
[environments.default]
store = "store.myshopify.com"
password = "pass"
theme ="store id"

Actual behavior

When you run

shopify theme dev it creates a new dev theme on the store.

When you run shopify theme pull it prompts you to choose a theme to pull.

Reverting to 3.75.1 fixes this.

To be honest the CLI is a hot mess. Don't mean to be rude but alarming: it's never works correctly for me for the past months, there is always a new bug, terrible for productivity and very frustrating to use on a daily basis.

I got this issue as well with up to 3 development stores created right now, and shopify theme dev works sometimes, and most times it will crash on start for various reasons (3 different ones today only with same setup). Thanks god git is reliable, because the CLI can pretty much do anything wrong you wouldn't expect (deleting files for no reason for instance).

Something has to be done, I can't be the only one 👀

Hi @fevish, in the interim, if you do update > 3.75.1 can you run the commands with the environment flag (shopify theme dev -e default)?

@EvilGenius13 Yes, shopfy theme dev -e default does work fine enough!

v3.81.0 adds default environment support: https://github.com/Shopify/cli/releases/tag/3.81.0

Try upgrading to the latest version. I think that solves the issue that I'm seeing here but if it doesn't please let us know.
