Hi @FrankHeijden , i'm afraid that migrations need to be manually accepted, so --force won't have any effect here.
Extension migrations are a one-time thing, so once done, --force will work as normal.
I'll bring this to the team in case we want to revisit this behaviour.

[FrankHeijden]

Thanks @isaacroldan ! Makes sense -- might just be an us problem here since we use multiple Shopify Apps as "environments", so by the time it reaches the production app deployment via CI/CD, we already are very sure that we're doing the migration, and want it to be accepted automatically.

I guess it would be nice to have all these migrations/interactive questions be skipped with the --force flag, but not impossible to manage.

I do however have a similar related issue for functions, when one changes the name of the function, a similar prompt appears where Shopify will try to match the name defined locally against the name defined in Partners, and asks if the mapping is correct. It seems that after this prompt, it somehow only stores this name-mapping locally, and doesn't actually change the function name in Shopify Partners, causing this prompt to be asked every time after a rename of a function (breaking CI/CD for all runs after a rename).

Hi @FrankHeijden!

That is correct, the mapping is stored locally in the .env files of your project. If you track those in git, then all instances of the CLI will get the correct matching and you'd only need to do it once.

I'll close this issue, but please feel free to post any other question and we can reopen it :)
