I think it's a little clunky that my

deploy.xml

needs to have both a

<files>

and

<objects>

. Sometimes I want to deploy one xor the other. My work around has been to include an empty folder:

<path>~/Objects/EmptyObjects/*</path>

😕

what do you mean?

@dbaghdanov I think you can now remove the <files> tag since 18.2 / 18.2.1.. I just learned that recently

heeeeey, look at that! thanks, that worked:

<deploy>
    <files>
        <path>~/FileCabinet/SuiteScripts/some-script.js</path>
    </files>
</deploy>

this is what throws an error:

<deploy>
    <files>
        <path>~/FileCabinet/SuiteScripts/some-script.js</path>
    </files>
    <objects>

    </objects>
</deploy>

Right

and that makes sense, I thought that both files & objects were required. thanks all
