641292 - Cannot re-enable or upload a new version for a disabled add-on

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.15) Gecko/20110303 Firefox/3.6.15
Build Identifier: 

I have a number of old add-ons, for example "Navigate Up (2)", which I disabled some time ago using a previous version of the Developer Hub, that did not have a facility to delete an add-on.  The latest version of the Developer Hub does have a facility to delete an add-on, and I would like to delete my old add-ons, but the Developer Hub will not let me do this.  On the Status & Versions page, the "Delete Add-on" link is not showing, the "Upload a New Version" button is disabled, and there isn't a "Re-enable Add-on" button/link anywhere.  The only active link is "Version 0" which does let me do anything.

The problem seems to be that, when I disabled my old add-ons using a previous version of the Developer Hub, I deleted all versions of the add-on files and all information about the add-ons. Nevertheless, I should still be able to delete the entries for my old add-ons.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Follow URL to see Status & Versions page for "Navigate (2)" add-on.


The Develop Hub should allow the deletion of old add-ons, whatever the status (or absence) of the add-on files and add-on information.

Your add-on is admin-disabled, which is why you don't have access to make any changes. Presumably this is because it was unreviewed or self-hosted and you didn't select a review process by the deadline.

I think this add-on was still experimental (unreviewed) when I disabled it.  It was not self-hosted. Nevertheless, it is still legitimate to want to delete it -- I have several of these old add-ons cluttering up the views on Developer Hub.  I'm not sure why it is admin-disabled -- I didn't ask for this and was unaware that such a status existed.

Dave, can you please give me the links to your add-ons' edit pages?

Thank you.

Jorge,

Here are the 'Edit Add-on Listing' links for each of my disabled add-ons.  The 'Manage Status & Versions' links are the same, except that the final 'edit' is replaced by 'versions'.  I am happy for all of these old add-ons to be deleted or enabled so that I can delete them.

I have re-enabled all of your add-ons. Please try going to the Status & Versions page and clicking on the Delete link. If it's not there, please attach a screenshot of the page.

Absolutely brilliant!  I had been hoping for a long time that I would be able to do this at some point.  I have deleted all my old add-ons and now have a much more compact dashboard in Developer Hub. Thanks for all your help.
