I’m following the example from the [tutorial](https://stdavedemo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting-started.html). I made some minor modifications and tried to publish to my account to test. Nothing ever showed up.

I’m not sure if it’s related, but I had written one smart app earlier and had it deployed to my account. The ones that were set up on my account still work, but the code is missing and I cannot deploy any more.

Any hints on how to diagnose?

The documentation you linked to uses the graph.api URL to sign into IDE. The correct URL to use is [https://account.smartthings.com](https://account.smartthings.com) so that may part of the problem.

Also I should note: groovy is going to phased out at some point.

Also point to note, for some accounts the default server is incorrect. Follow the steps here to get to the correct server to publish your apps, pay attention to Step 3:
