Steps to rename an addon?

[ssyberg]

I know it's a little silly since the addon name doesn't really affect anything, but I'd really like to rename an environment addon and all references. This is easy enough to do with a search/replace, but I tried that and got a bunch of errors on deploy (not too surprising). I'm guessing the only real way to do this is to delete the existing addon and then add a new one?

Hello again @ssyberg 😄

what do you mean by rename an addon? Do you want to rename the cluster with in the addon CloudFormation template

[ssyberg]

I created a storage addon with the copilot cli and gave it a stupid name, so like:

copilot
-- enviornments
---- addons
------ poorly-named.yml

I'd like to rename "poorly-named.yml" to "really-good-name.yml" and also replace all references in the manifests like {poorlynamedBucket.Arn} to {reallygoodnameBucket.Arn}

I just don't totally understand what the implications are / how this is handled in the stored state

I just deployed an S3 bucket with name poorlynamed and after that I replaced all the occurences of poorlynamed with goodnamed bucket in the addon template. I was able to deployed the service with the addon with out any error.

I also renamed the file from poorlynamed.yml to goodnamed.yml

Awesome, I'll try it again
