Rebuild goes into a loop regarding templates/import/phpbb3.template.yml

I needed to change the SMTP password, so I followed the instructions at How to modify email settings

When I do the .launcher/rebuild/app, I get a loop of the following:

x86_64 arch detected.
Ensuring launcher is up to date
Fetching origin
Updating Launcher...
Updating 3715498..072c526
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
        templates/import/phpbb3.template.yml
Please commit your changes or stash them before you merge.
Aborting
failed to update
Launcher updated, restarting...

I found Rebuild goes into a loop, which is very similar, but not the same.

I must admit that other than doing upgrades when informed of them, I haven’t touched this since installing it a year ago. Any help would be appreciated.

What if you tried

./launcher stop app

then

./launcher start app

? IIRC you don’t need to do a full rebuild if you just edit the SMTP details.

Would that work?

Good idea, but it didn’t work. It still used the old SMTP credentials.

My bad! It’s ./launcher destroy app, not ./launcher stop app. Could you give that a shot?

That worked, but I feel like all that I’m doing is pushing off this problem until I have to rebuild it at some future date.

I think someone had a similar problem in this topic, if it’s any help:
