redeployment does not work

[thunderbug1]

I cannot quit figure out how to redeploy the frontend after having deployed rag-gpt.

I deployed rag-gpt as the readme instructed.
Due to a bug where the ingestion function has no write permissions to the cognitive search instance, I have to change some lines in this repo and redeploy.
I cloned the repo and tried to executed

azd auth login  
azd env refresh  

but I get:

ERROR: getting deployment: error retrieving state: retrieving deployment: no deployments found for environment gptragtmp
WARNING: your version of azd is out of date, you have 1.5.0 and the latest version is 1.5.1

To update to the latest version, visit https://aka.ms/azd/upgrade/windows

So for some reason it does not detect the deployment I already made.
I went back to the directory of the rag-gpt clone and did a azd show which shows:

  Environments:
    gpt-rag [Current]

I tried to set that environment name in the config.json of the gpt-rag-ingestion directory:

{"version":1,"defaultEnvironment":"gpt-rag"} instead of {"version":1,"defaultEnvironment":"gptragtmp"}

but then it shows me this:

 azd env refresh
Environment 'gpt-rag' does not exist, would you like to create it? (Y/n)

Because you're getting "error retrieving state: retrieving deployment: no deployments found for environment gptragtmp" yo wont be able to do an azd env refresh, it needs a successful deployment (or provisioning) to retrieve env variables.
