Unable to push to WP Engine after latest update

Hey everyone,

We were able to zero in on the issue with pushing to WP Engine. It seems that there was a regression that wasn’t properly handling slightly different file lists between the local site and the remote site. This situation would arise if there were certain operations happening either locally or remotely at the time a push was done. For example, if you were trying to push while a plugin update was happening, or a Webpack process was watching/rebuilding things during a push.

This most recent beta release should have a fix:

We’d like to confirm that this fixes things before deploying the changes to the stable version of Local.

If you are currently on the stable version of Local, you can try this beta version on your site by following these steps:

  1. Export the site from the stable version of Local by right-clicking on the site and selecting “Export”
  2. Download the Beta version of Local and quit the stable version of Local.
  3. Open Local Beta and import site by dragging and dropping the zip export onto Local Beta
  4. Connect to WPE.
  5. Try pushing the site again.

Can you try that workflow and let us know if it allows you to push successfully to WP Engine?
