Can't push my site to flywheel

[maxp]

I’m trying to push my finished site to flywheel. It’s about 3GB in size. It starts off fine, gets all the way to the end and then fails. I have no idea what the issue is…
Can anyone help?

It’s hard to know what exactly failed without seeing a Local log. Was there a specific error that Local gave about what didn’t work?

One other thing to consider is that while there isn’t a hard limit to the size that can be uploaded over FW connect, there can be timeouts associated with pushing such a large amount of data.

If you have a lot of data that isn’t being used (for example, backups from plugins, or old caches, demo data for a premium theme) you might try removing those and re-pushing.

If all else fails, reach out to Flywheel support and they can take a look to see if something is failing on the server side:

Is this the log you’re referring to?

local-lightning.log (182.7 KB)

Yep! That’s the one!

When I filter down to only the lines that are for the FlywheelPushService, I’m seeing an odd error about Local missing a file. Here’s one of those lines as an example:

{"thread":"main","class":"FlywheelPushService","message":"Error: Command failed: \"%%resourcesPath%%\\lightning-services\\php-7.3.5+10\\bin\\win64\\php.exe\" \"%%resourcesPath%%\\bin\\wp-cli\\wp-cli.phar\" --path=\"C:\\Users\\Maximus\\Local Sites\\maxp\\app\\public\" --require=\"%%resourcesPath%%\\bin\\wp-cli\\local-wpcli-error-reporting.php\" --skip-plugins --skip-themes \"core\" \"version\"\nError: Required file 'local-wpcli-error-reporting.php' doesn't exist (from runtime argument).\n\n    at ChildProcess.exithandler (child_process.js:317:12)\n    at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:315:20)\n    at ChildProcess.EventEmitter.emit (domain.js:467:12)\n    at maybeClose (internal/child_process.js:1048:16)\n    at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:288:5)","level":"error","timestamp":"2021-08-04T01:39:17.550Z"}

Note this part of the message:

Error: Required file 'local-wpcli-error-reporting.php' doesn't exist (from runtime argument).

That’s a file that comes bundled with Local and so it should exist. If you navigate to where that file should be, what do you see? Here’s what I see when I navigate to that location:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\Local\resources\extraResoureces\bin\wp-cli

If you have something different, then there might be something wrong with this installation of Local.

• Maybe some antivirus is locking that file down? You might check to see if there’s any mention of that file in your antivirus settings.

• Maybe that file was accidentally removed or corrupted? Backup your sites and try re-installing Local.

I fiddled around with the things you mentioned. Nothing worked at first but eventually it did successfully push to flywheel. Not sure exactly what I did but I’ll take it.
I then had trouble as the site wasn’t updating after pushing. Eventually realised I wasn’t including database.
So I finally have it up and running.

Long story short, you helped me out immensely. I appreciate it Ben!
