Why is no code showing in the web IDE?
Anyone know why my code is not showing in the web IDE? I've adjusted the Dockerfile, so that might be why. What should I change?

@Louis Deconinck I checked your case and unfortunately this is a feature of
apify-cli, to upload large directories as a zip archive and therefore it doesn't show up in the WebIDE.
It is mentioned in the doc....

Hi @Louis Deconinck
How do you build your Actor?
The code will not show in the WebIDE in case you build it from external source (like git repository).
To push the code to the Console with the code you can use
apify-cli push command see https://docs.apify.com/cli
You can also sent the ActorId to my DM and I can take a look.I always use the CLI with
apify-push I've sent the actor ID to your DM. Thanks for taking a look! I suspect possibly the README is too big as I've included a sample output which is quite large.Solution

I see, thanks for confirming this suspicion. I'll look to trim down the README.
What is the recommended way to build an actor? CLI or GitHub repo?
That really depends on your use case, do you want to be able to update the code in Apify Console? Then CLI makes sense, but then of course these changes are not propagated to your local code.
Generally, having single (versioned) source of truth for the code (like a git repository) is preferred.
