Known Issue: pac code push fails with httpClient error in PAC CLI v2.3.2

[jordanchodakWork]

We have identified an issue affecting users who are running PAC CLI version 2.3.2 and attempting to publish code apps using the pac code push command.

When running pac code push, users may encounter the following error:
Error during CLI execution: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'httpClient')

This error prevents the code app from being successfully pushed.

As a mitigation, we recommend installing an earlier version of the PAC CLI (v2.2.1), which does not exhibit this behavior. This can be done by uninstalling the currently installed CLI and reinstalling a previous version using your preferred installation method - Installation instructions here

We are urgently investigating the root cause of this issue and will provide updates in this thread as more information becomes available. If you continue to experience issues after downgrading, please let us know in the comments.

This is also a good opportunity to try and use the new NPM CLI by upgrading your SDK to version 1.0.4

Can confirm degrading to v2.2.1 helped push the code to power apps.

can you elaborate?
how to use NPM CLI to deploy a code app? (and replace the pac code push command line)

Refer to this doc to see some of the new npx CLI commands, including push: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/code-apps/how-to/npm-quickstart

Note that the npx CLI is in Public Preview.

If you used dotnet tool to install PAC CLI it is easy to pick different version:

dotnet tool update -g microsoft.powerapps.cli.tool --version 2.2.1 --allow-downgrade
