A0deploy on production tenant not exporting configuration

gcarter · May 13, 2025, 12:22pm

Hi,

I am trying to export my tenants configuration using the a0deploy tool I have set this up on our development tenant and it works perfectly but on our production tenant I keep getting the following error and I can’t see what is wrong?
The a0deploy Application has read permissions to everything in the Auth Management API.

a0deploy --version
8.8.1
a0deploy export -c config-production.json -f yaml -o prod

Hi @gcarter,

Thanks for your question.

I found a GitHub issue regarding the same error you encountered. It looks like a fix was deployed and is now available in version 8.8.2.

The tenant name is `dev-r26s8bx17l7bi7qp`, in case there's something about the tenant config that's causing this, but the tenant was only set up in the past few weeks so it seems odd that it would have defaulted into using deprecated features. ### Expectation I expected the `export` command to work. ### Reproduction Follow the setup steps in [the documentation](https://auth0.com/docs/deploy-monitor/deploy-cli-tool#get-started), then run the `export` command in the last step. ### Deploy CLI version 8.8.0 ### Node version v22.14.0

Let us know if there’s anything else we can do to help.

Cheers,
Rueben
