We have a theme component that we install via the rake command. The plugin and its installation via the rake command works perfectly fine. The upgrade also works perfectly fine when we do it from the Admin UI e.g. /admin/customize/themes/40. The problem arises when we try to upgrade it from the comm…

Providing more details of the issue. Running the rake command for upgrade doesn’t have any visible change to my theme component, but after that the Admin UI thinks that the upgrade has been applied (missed capturing the screenshot).

I will look into this a bit later into this week. I wasn’t aware that the rake command was not working

I couldn’t figure out why the update doesn’t work, but thought of a workaround–adding an uninstall command. Uninstalling the theme before using the rake install command seems to be working.
