Unable to delete version-controlled variables in a version-controlled project

[patrick-smergut-octopus]

The bug

Using the latest version of the Octopus CLI (2.6.0), it currently isn't possible to use octopus project variables delete and target a version-controlled variable in a version-controlled project.

Command to reproduce

Get the list of version-controlled variables from a version-controlled project

octopus project variables list --project "MyProject" --space "Default" --git-ref "refs/heads/main"

This works, and returns the variables from the specified gitref/branch:

NAME             DESCRIPTION  VALUE  IS PROMPTED  ID
test_delete_cli               asdf   false        test_delete_cli-1

Next, attempt to delete the variable from the specified gitref/branch:

octopus project variable delete --name test_delete_cli --project "MyProject" --space="Default" --git-ref refs/heads/main

Outcome

It's not possible to specify the --git-ref argument to target the variable in the branch for deletion.

unknown flag: --git-ref

Attempting to delete the variable without a --git-ref argument will not find the variable (which is expected because it's not a local project variable ):

octopus project variable delete --name test_delete_cli --project "MyProject" --space="Default"
cannot find variable 'test_delete_cli'

Versions

cli: 2.6.0 and earlier

Octopus Server: 2024.3.7046
