Release 18.3 Hotfix Release

Fix #304 Ability to use custom rulesets

This release features the following versions

CLI - 1.6.12
Azure Pipelines - 18.0.58

Release 18.2 Hotfix Release

This release fixes issues caused by recent updates in SFDX CLI. The CLI has been bumped to 1.6.11

The following issues have been fixed
#315 Prepare failing to provision scratch orgs
#312 Validate failing to authenticate to an org

Release 18.1 Hotfix Release

This release features a hotfix for the issue
#306: source:deploy failing on large metadata deployment

The version number of the components are
CLI : 1.6.6
Azure Pipelines: 18.0.57

Release 18

Release 18 features some new powerful commands and a complete realignment of the CLI, including a "Orchestrator" topic that enables one to work with multiple packages in a mono-repo through the development lifecycle or stages.

Packaging and deployment metrics can now be collected through StatsD and delivered to a dashboard platform like Splunk/DataDog. There is also a new 'Data' package type that leverages the SFDMU plugin to create and deploy Salesforce records based configurations

We have deprecated Export Source Task from the Azure Pipelines / CLI tasks and has re-aligned all the CLI commands to match sfdx plugin naming conventions (This is a breaking change, all pipelines using it has to be fixed with the new command namespace)

Release Changelog Task (in Azure Pipelines) which were in alpha in Release 17 is now moved into a separate extension and can be downloaded separately from https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=dxatscale.sfpowerscripts-release-extension

Release 17.1

Hotfix for issue #176

Release 17

Release 17 has been in work for quite some. We are excited to share some awesome features across Azure Pipelines and CLI

This release features the following versions
Azure Pipelines : 17.1.7
CLI: 0.13.9

Before we delve into the changes, please note this release features breaking changes, and we recommend to update all your tasks. Updating individual tasks alone would break the pipelines.

Breaking Changes

• CLI packaging commands will write the artifact (a folder consisting of the source code & artifact metadata) to an artifacts directory, which is called 'artifacts' by default
• Removed CLI support for the installation of old artifact format, 'artifact_metadata'.

New Feature

• #149 Generate Changelog Task
  Automate generation of your changelog while working with multiple sfdx packages in a monorepo. This task generates a release changelog
  in markdown in your repo

• #101 Install Source Package Task
  Simplify installation of source packages by introducing a new task which utilizes the changes in artifact structure (#151,#131) which align deployment of source packages similar to Unlocked Packages

• #159 Add RunAllTestsInPackage test level to Trigger Apex Test
  sfpowerscripts (utilizing awesome @nawforce/apex-parser) can autodetect the test classes in a source package. This can be used for individually validating coverage of each classes in a package as well as provide a pathway for optimized deployment.

Enhancements

• #151, #131 Revamp Artifacts
  Artifacts generated by sfpowerscripts have a major revamp. Artifacts now carry the source that needs to be deployed as well as more detailed artifact metadata enabling features like 'Skipping Installation of already installed Source Packages' (Azure Pipelines only) etc.
• #133 Simplify CLI usage by deprecating readvars
  Simplify the usage of cli via means of Output variables, Read more about Output variables in https://dxatscale.gitbook.io/sfpowerscripts/cli/getting-started
• #141 Display metadata to be deployed during installation of packages

BugFixes

• #169 Fix System.RunAs & TestMethod parse errors by using CaseInsensitiveInputStream instead of ANTLRInputStream
• #170 Throw error if InstallSource sub-directory does not exist during Source Package installation
• #167 Specify test level as NoTestRun when skip test is true
• #165 Fix Package Diff for large repositories
• #157 Fix Trigger Apex Test during validation of code coverage of individual package

A full list of other minor bugs and enhancements are available at this link https://github.com/Accenture/sfpowerscripts/milestone/4?closed=1

CLI: 0.9.3

Enhancements

• #98 Skip installation of unlocked package if it is already installed in the org
• #103 Show latest 10 tags only in the log output for package diff

Release 15

This release features the following versions

• Azure Pipelines : 15.4.0
• CLI: 0.5.5

New Features

Bug Fixes

• #63 Manage Scratchorg Task can be used for creating/deleting a scratchorg. When this task is used exclusively only for a delete scenario, (where a scratchorg is fetched from the pool) the post job of the task fails, as the scratchorg would already be deleted by the delete action.
• #80 Update Validate Package Test Coverage Task to work with recent breaking updates from sfpowerkit
• #79 Update Install Dependencies Task with the recent updates of sfpowerkit on package keys

Thanks to @Caitlyn-Mills and @aly76 We have a whole new updated docs website and thanks to @gitbook.io for hosting the website
