Wappler 7 Beta 17: Can't Remove Tags in GIT Manager

Wappler Version : 7 Beta 17
Operating System : MacOS
Server Model: N/A
Database Type: N/A
Hosting Type: N/A

Expected behavior

What do you think should happen?

When you remove a tag in the GIT Manager it should remain deleted

Actual behavior

What actually happens?

Tags gets hidden, but then a refresh of the GIT Panel brings the deleted tags back.

How to reproduce

Create a tag and remove or remove an existing tag using the context menu.
Refresh the GIT Panel using the refresh button.

The deleted tags return.

Bump .... still an issue in Beta 23.

I don't think this is a bug, when you press refresh it fetches the remotes where I assume you still have the tag.

So there is no way to remove tags then?

I tried removing the tags and the pushing to remote and the tags just came back.

You have to first remove it on the remote, then remove it locally. When you have removed it on the remote it will not come back after a refresh.

If you have other users also working on the same repository it can be problematic when you remove a tag that is already pushed to the remote.

Docker Desktop doesn't allow you to delete tags that have been pushed.

There is a cli git command to delete the remote tag.

git push --delete origin <tagname>

On GitHub you can do it using your browser.

When another user already downloaded that tag from the remote and has it locally in his repository it will be pushed back to the remote again when he also not deletes it in his repository. So you have to make sure it is deleted in all copies of the repositories or it will come back.

Thanks Patrick I will give that a try. I am the only user.
