[FIXED] Updating a notebook in Kaggle

Issue

I currently have a notebook I've been working on locally, and I pushed it to kaggle with the command in terminal:

> kaggle kernels push -p real_estate

Everything worked fine the first time I pushed it, but now that I updated the code in the notebook, when I run the command again I get the error:

409 - Conflict - The requested title "real_estate_clustering" is already in use by a kernel. Please choose another title.

I understand the error is coming up because I have the title real_estate_clustering in my kernel-metadata.json and this title was used the first time I pushed the notebook. However, how would I go about updating the notebook with progress/changes that I've made. Do I have to define a new title every time?

Solution

Based on the information you shared, there is likely an issue with the slug field in your kernel-metadata.json file. This happened because Kaggle "sanitizes" URL slugs, changing _ to -.

There are two ways to fix this. Either you can manually edit your kernel-metadata.json by replacing underscore characters with dashes. Or, you can do a kaggle kernels pull.
