I am trying to upload a theme using the NX command:
`nx theme:upload:watch theme_name`
However, when I run this command, I receive the following error:
**Error 500 for** `https://example.com/admin/themes/import.json`
Due to this error, the theme upload process fails. Could someone please help me understand what might be causing this issue and how to resolve it?

`nx`? Are you not looking for `discourse_theme`?

Are you trying to [Install the Discourse Theme CLI console app to help you build themes](https://meta.discourse.org/t/install-the-discourse-theme-cli-console-app-to-help-you-build-themes/82950) or [Installing a theme or theme component](https://meta.discourse.org/t/installing-a-theme-or-theme-component/63682)?

Unless there’s an existing issue/bug I’m not aware of, we still need to see logs to know what the 500 specifically means

Remove this from your build to start with. Whilst those are just deprecation warnings, there are so many of them I’d not trust that plugin as part of my build.
