forShopId in background action is undefined
I am sure we have plenty of tasks that call
connections.shopify.forShopId in a background action context to write to our own store, but suddenly it has stopped working in one instance.
When I try to run a task that writes to our Shopify store in a background action, the forShopId method of connections.shopify is undefined. connections.shopify is there, it has some properties on it, but not forShopId.
Weirdly there is no error generated or logged, the background action says it completed just fine but the action seems to stall / fail quietly.

Hello,
What's the action that you're running? I'd like to take a look at it. Connections should never be undefined (unles you don't have the connection). connections.shopify.current can be undefined in cases where the Gadget platform can't set the current shop context, thats the case in a background action, but connections.shopify.forShopId("someId") should give you a shopify connection if the id is valid
Weirdly I deleted and re-created the action, now it works. The only difference was I created the first action in my IDE, the second I created in the Gadget UI
