Allow to push to an existing project

👥 Feature Requests 🥂 Implemented

hello AISLER team,

i have some projects uploaded in the past -
and would like to use the new kicad-aisler-push functionality to add a new revision to these old projects.
(especially as i am using KiCad nightly and this is currently the only way :wink: )

if i just push the same project file it creates a new project with the same name and an appended number - similar to this:

# original
https://aisler.net/s-light/my-super-project/thebrain_pcb
# created by push
https://aisler.net/s-light/my-super-project/thebrain_pcb-9117f2fc-feff-4360-8dc6-89c18f9fa4c4

is it possible to tell aisler-push to upload to a already existing project as new revision?
if not i think this is a nice addition :wink:
sunny greetings
stefan

Hi @s-light, you should be able to do so by adding the AISLER Project ID to your design (as the plugin saves it after the initial push). See KiCad for more details. You find the Project ID on the checkout page below the top bar.

Let me know if that worked for you.

thanks for the reply @Tim-from-AISLER
that sounds like a solution. :slight_smile:

only challenge is that i can not go to the checkout-page directly:

as the project is currently in an unsupported state (on of the earlier revision updates caused this never ending loading behavior…)

luckily we have revisions - i thought -
so i switched back to revision one.

and got a surprising

and now the upload to this project is working :wink:

Thanks for sharing the solution in details. I’ll forward the checkout issue internally.
