In this Chapter we will learn about how to Deploy metadata from Scratch Org to Sandbox/Production Environment using SFDX
Perquisites
Please go through Earlier Chapters in the Lightning Web Component Series before starting this one to get thorough understanding of the concepts.
Let’s get Started !
Scratch org does not have package.xml but will have it when we convert it into metadata format so that we can deploy it to sandbox/ production org.
Deploying metadata to a Salesforce instance
Much like existing tools such as the Force.com IDE and Migration Tool (ant), you’ll need a structured source directory (src) and a manifest file (package.xml) in order to deploy metadata.
Step 1: Convert source format to metadata format
Execute below command from the project
sfdx force:source:convert -d metadatadeploy
Converts metadata retrieved via Metadata API into the source format used in Salesforce DX projects.
-d Folder where metadata is generated
Step 2: Deploy from scratch to sandbox/ production org
Execute below command
Sfdx: force:mdapi:deploy -d depmetadata -u sandboxtodeploy
- Deploys file representations of components into an org
- You can deploy and retrieve up to 10,000 files or 400 MB (39 MB compressed) at one time.
-d Deployment folder where metadata is present
-u username of sandbox /prod org
When deploying, you can choose to wait until the deployment has completed (or until the specified number of minutes has expired)
sfdx force:mdapi:deploy -d metadatadeploy -w 5 -u sfdcSmriti
Step 3: Check deployment Status
Execute below command
sfdx force:mdapi:deploy:report
- Checks the current status of an asynchronous metadata deployment.
