SFDX Simple App

THIS PROJECT IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED. To learn about Salesforce Development with version control see the Trailhead project Develop an App with Salesforce CLI and Source Control.

The Salesforce Developer Experience (SFDX) starts with source code living in your version control system.

Set Up the Salesforce DX Project

Our first goal is to set up a developer project which we'll use to modify our application. It starts by cloning the repository. Use the command ...

git clone https://github.com/forcedotcom/sfdx-simple.git

… or ...

git clone [email protected]:forcedotcom/sfdx-simple.git

… to clone the repository. Then, open the directory.

cd sfdx-simple

Steps

Authorize to your Developer Hub (Dev Hub) org.

sfdx force:auth:web:login -d -a "Hub Org"

If you already have an authorized Dev Hub, set it as the default:

sfdx force:config:set defaultdevhubusername=<username|alias>

Create a scratch org.

sfdx force:org:create -s -f config/project-scratch-def.json

If you want to use an existing scratch org, set it as the default:

sfdx force:config:set defaultusername=<username|alias>

Push your source.

sfdx force:source:push

Run your tests.

sfdx force:apex:test:run
sfdx force:apex:test:report -i <id>

Open the scratch org.

sfdx force:org:open --path one/one.app
