I have created a new messageChannel in WebStorm under my src folder and I added it to subscription but when I try to deploy it doesn't get pushed to my sandbox. It just says Deployed 0/0 components in the message box. I checked package.xml for Project and it did get updated successfully as in the screenshot below. The messageChannel name/folder and the package.xml is shown in the screenshot below. What am I missing? Screen Shot 2021-05-18 at 9.28.53 PM.png

I believe the issue is that the file is named "*.messageChannel-meta.xml" in a metadata format project. It should just be named "*.messageChannel". Can you please rename it as such and see if that resolves the issue?

Hi Scott,

I renamed it as per your instructions. Now when I try to deploy it is not even showing the file in the deploy menu.

And just to clarify, it's been added to your subscription, correct? Your package.xml file (assuming this is a package.xml-based subscription as I see on in the original screenshot) has something like the following in it?

<types>
<members>GuidedAgentFlowUpdates</members>
<name>LightningMessageChannel</name>
</types>

If not, please add it to your subscription. An easy way to do that is to right-click on either the "messageChannels" folder or the "*.messageChannel" file itself and then click Illuminated Cloud>Add to Metadata Subscription.

If that doesn't resolve the issue, please provide a screenshot of the deployment dialog so I can see how it's configured.

Regards,

Scott

Got it. I completely deleted the file and created it again from scratch following your instructions.

Renamed it to just channelname.messageChannel instead of adding. -meta.xml at the end of the name
When I did that the package.xml did show the name of the member in the way you have described in your comment above.

Now it is all working fine. Really appreciate your help.

Thank you and have a good day

Okay, glad it's working for you now. Probably didn't need to delete/re-add the file (or if you did, that would most certainly be a bug), but the process you followed certainly allowed you to be sure things were correct. Thanks for keeping me posted!
