Flox push ERROR: Your environment has changes that are not yet synced to a generation

Bug Reports

I am new to flox and floxhub. I tried to install a new package and push it. I’m not sure how to troubleshoot or provide more information.

❯ flox push
❌ ERROR: Your environment has changes that are not yet synced to a generation.

To resolve this issue, run either
* 'flox edit --sync' to commit your local changes to a new generation
* 'flox edit --reset' to discard your local changes and reset to the latest generation

Upgrading to 1.3.8 did not fix anything

Thanks for trying the upgrade. I wouldn’t have suspected a fix there, but you’re now on the latest version.

If you try flox pull what happens? The CLI certainly thinks you have two states to work between. If that doesn’t complete, you could try flox pull --force and then run your installation of a package again and try a push. I’m not sure what got out of sync. ysndr is probably the best person to help, but I think he has somewhat limited availability over this holiday week.

Also, if you’re not already in our community slack, you can join at go.flox.dev/slack and several of our engineers could help.

That fixed it! It was easy to reinstall the few packages lost.
