405 error when attempting to upload files using gulp-viewport

[Adisa Craig]

This integration worked previously but recently I have started getting a 405 error while trying ot upload files to my viewport, using gulp upload with environment variables. Any help is appreciated

Hi Adisa.

405 means method not allowed.

It could be that you tried to upload a global theme, and this requires a confluence administrator.

If the theme doesn't exists, gulp-viewport handles the error and puts out the problem.

Please try to either change the scope of the theme in gulp-viewport, or make sure there is the correct user-login in the .vprtrc file.

Roman.

Hi Roman,

  So I was able to identify the issue. It seems that if a viewport is added via a .jar upload it cannot be updated via the gulp-viewport plugin or even by using the Confluence UI. This is the case even for Confluence Admins. Is there a workaround for this?

Hi Adisa,

themes that have been installed as plugins cannot be modified. This is intentional.

If you want to update such a theme using gulp there are two options:

- Use the user interface to create a copy of the theme. The copy can be modified using the online editor as well as the REST API / gulp. You
may uninstall the original theme (the plugin) afterwards to get rid of the duplicate.

- Extract the jar file instead of installing it as a plugin and then upload the extracted files to a new theme that you've created for
example using the user interface.


The purpose of the JAR / plugin theme download option is to create a snapshot out of a theme in your development / testing environment and
then upload the plugin to your production environment once the theme development is complete.


Hope that helps.


Cheers,
Jens
