Upload code using the IDE

Use a visual interface to package and upload your code with Mini Program Studio (the IDE). This creates a new mini program version in your workspace for release. Choose this method if you develop within the IDE or prefer an intuitive and user-friendly interface.

Note: If you prefer to upload your code with a terminal command for CI/CD integration, follow the instructions in Upload code via the CLI.

Before you begin

Ensure the following things:

  • Mini program type: The target mini program's type is DSL.
  • Required access: You must be either:
    • Workspace admin in the workspace where the mini program was created.
    • Admin or developer for the target mini program.
  • Code: Your mini program code is fully developed, debugged, and ready for release.
  • Tool: Install Mini Program Studio on your computer.
  • Version number: Identify the new version number for your mini program. For details, see Version numbering rules.

Procedure

To upload code using the IDE, take the following steps:

  1. Log in to the IDE with your Mini Program Platform account and open your mini program project.
  2. Click Upload Version in the upper-right corner.

Tip: If you do not see this button, it might be hidden due to a small screen. Click >> (the menu expansion icon) and select Upload Version from the dropdown list.

  1. In the dialog that appears, review or change the version number.
    1. Review the suggested version number in the Version to Upload field.
    2. If you need to change the version number, click the pencil icon and enter your preferred value.
  1. Click Upload Version to confirm the upload. The upload might take a few seconds.
  2. A confirmation message appears.

What happens next

The new version will appear in your workspace. To view it:

  1. Log in to your workspace and open the details page of the target mini program.
  2. Click the Versions tab.
  3. The newly uploaded version is listed at the top.

The platform automatically pre-selects the primary target app (defined by the super app) and its production environment for the upcoming release. To complete the release, follow the instructions in Release a mini program.
