files are not of type EmailServicesFunction, there is no reference to this type in code.

Using sfdx force:source:deploy works. Push is broken.

[chriskarpyszyn]

This is still not working.

[mshanemc]

Can you please do the part of the Issue Template where we ask for the output of sfdx version --verbose so we can see what's needed to reproduce this

The fact that no one else is having this issue worries me that it's something on my end, but nothing changed with our statisresources files in years for this to stop working because of something we did. This has killed my productivity as I have to do a full deploy every change I make in code.

[mshanemc]

would changing the name of it help?

[chriskarpyszyn]

would changing the name of it help?

Changing it to what?

[mshanemc]

anything besides staticResources

Hi @RodEsp I'm having the same issue here when pushing code to a fresh new scratch org. Deploy works No EmailServicesFunction metadata components do exists in the code

I'm on the latest sfdx cli version, and still getting this error.

ERROR running force:source:push: upint\up-at-home\src\main\staticresources\ah_playerLibraries.resource-meta.xml: Expected source files for type 'StaticResource'

if I rename the static resources folder, I get errors that it's not able to find the files.

there is another issue #1515 that also states the same problem, in that case related to weird naming management of BO custom index when pulling/pushing vs package generation.

[mshanemc]

the error says that it's looking for a file or folder in the directory next to ah_playerLibraries.resource-meta.xml

is ah_playerLibraries a folder with files inside it that are not going to match your .forceignore ?

I don't want to re-open this but I wanted to return to give an update. On the latest version of the cli 7.184.2, I still encountered an error trying to push my code. But this time, the error was a bit clearer.

ERROR running force:source:push: upint\up-at-home\src\main\staticresources\ah_playerLibraries.resource-meta.xml: Expected source files for type 'StaticResource'

Turns out, we had deprecated a folder in StaticResources and put a .txt file in there to indicate as such. Turns out, you cannot just have a text file in a static resources folder. Adding a blank CSS file makes the deploy work.

This was probably the original error as well, but the older error output was misleading.
