pac pcf push fails with publisher error

Hello,

When I try to do a pac pcf push of a new control to my dev environment I get an error but I can't find any detail about the error.

This fails with the error

pac pcf push --solution-unique-name SRXInductionManagement

This works but it deploys to the default solution. I'd prefer to publish to the related solution.

pac pcf push -pp new

Seems to be something related to the Publisher. Which begs the question, I'm not specifying a publisher when doing a pcf push.

Does anyone have any idea about this one?

@srx_nstratton Have you verified that you're using the latest version of the PAC CLI?

Also does the unmanaged solution with the unique name SRXInductionManagement already exist in your dev environment?

Updated to 1.29.11
Yes the solution is there. I have also tried publishing the PCF in its own solution and pushing to that but get the same error. The only way it works is when I don't specify a package and specify the prefix, but then it's added to the default solution.

Hi @srx_nstratton , I have a workaround. Maybe it helps, until pac cli gets fixed: https://dianabirkelbach.wordpress.com/2024/01/16/how-to-fix-pac-pcf-push-issues-with-pac-cli-newer-than-1-28-3-publisher-error-or-solution-deleted/

I haven't tried this but have you seen Andrew Butenko's crazy way of quickly pushing a PCF?

His first tip in the video npm start watch was also a life saver for me.
