Stop prompting to overwrite wsgi.py on redeploy - #25
Merged
Conversation
wsgi.py always exists already, so use modify_file() rather than add_file(), which would prompt for overwrite confirmation on every redeploy and block --automate-all.

Looks good! I think this makes sense. So for the re-deploy path, it's smooth and doesn't prompt to confirm updating wsgi.py each time, it just applies it:

If wsgi.py went missing, we stop and say so instead of guessing:
Modifying wsgi.py for PythonAnywhere...
DSDCommandError: File /Users/copelco/projects/dsd-dev/dsd-dev-project_dtyid/blog/wsgi.py does not exist.

Admittedly, I may not fully understand when we would want to prompt confirmation from the user and when we wouldn't. If I misunderstood the purpose here, let's close this.This was generated with the help of Claude based on some friction points of attempting to deploy to PythonAnywhere repeatedly.
