Deploy

Builds and deploys the app in the current directory to Power Platform.

Workflow

  1. Check Memory Bank → 2. Build → 3. Deploy → 4. Update Memory Bank

Step 1: Check Memory Bank

Check for memory-bank.md in the project root. If found, read it for the project name and environment. If not found, proceed — the project may have been created without the plugin.

Step 2: Build

npm run build

If the build fails:

  • TS6133 (unused import): Remove the unused import and retry.
  • Other TypeScript errors: Report the error with the file and line number and stop. Do not deploy a broken build.

Verify dist/ exists with index.html before continuing.

Step 3: Deploy

Ask the user: "Ready to deploy to [environment name]? This will update the live app." Wait for explicit confirmation before proceeding.

npx power-apps push

Capture the app URL from the output if present.

If deploy fails, report the error and stop — do not retry silently. Common fixes:

  • Auth error / token expired → npx power-apps logout, then retry — the CLI will re-prompt browser login.
  • Environment mismatch → update environmentId in power.config.json to the correct value and retry.

Step 4: Update Memory Bank

If memory-bank.md exists, update:

  • Last deployed timestamp
  • App URL (if captured)
