CDE already exists. What can I do?

Error message:

CDE environment with name CDE-xxxx already exists                                                                                

Resolution 1:

If a merge request cannot be declined/merged immediately for some reason, one way is to stop the CDE environment:

• Log in to Code Studio.
• Navigate to Environments.
• Determine the respective environment with the same feature branch name, and stop the environment.
• Wait for a few minutes for the current pipeline to succeed, and to delete the existing CDE with the same name.
• Make some minor changes to the current feature’s merge request to re-initiate the pipeline with the CDE creation job.

Resolution 2:

• Rename the existing CD environment that is pointing to the same source branch from Acquia Cloud.
• Make some minor changes to the current feature’s merge request to re-initiate the pipeline with CDE creation job.
