#739 fix: Populate creator field when deploying apps Pull request opened by jmonty42 Summary The server requires

spec.creator.principal

(an

EnrichedIdentity

with a

User

or

Application

) when creating apps. The SDK was not setting this field, causing app deployments to fail with:

INVALID_ARGUMENT: validation error:
- app.spec.creator.principal: exactly one field is required in oneof [required]

Changes •

src/flyte/app/_deploy.py

: After building the app IDL and before sending the create request, fetch the current authenticated user via

identity_service.UserInfo()

and populate

spec.creator

with an

EnrichedIdentity

containing the user's subject. Wrapped in try/except so deploy continues gracefully if the identity call fails. •

tests/flyte/app/test_app_deploy.py

: New tests verifying creator is set from user info, and that deploy continues with a warning if the identity call fails. Test Plan • 2 new unit tests pass • All 23 existing app tests pass flyteorg/flyte-sdk
