Has anyone found a way to do a bulk update on all objects in your customization project? I am concerned that if I deploy something like a saved search via SDF, but then a user makes modifications in the UI, then I want to be able to fetch the latest definition before I deploy again. I know how to do this individually but a bulk command would be really helpful so I don't have to do them one by one. I'm new to SDF so if I'm going down the wrong path please let me know!

right click context menu in webstorm gives you options to update all objects with account versions... not sure how to do that via CLI but I assume there's a way

Thanks! I use IntelliJ anyway so I should give that a look

Command Line uses the

object:update

command, but you have to specify every Object you want to pull down by its `scriptid`; previously I've built a bash script to read all the IDs in the project, then pass them all to

object:update

. Really wish

object:update

with no params would just pull down all objects in the project

@erictgrubaugh I was considering writing a bash script like that! I don't suppose you'd be willing to share your code?

I would love to, but unfortunately it's no longer my code to share

I made the mistake yesterday 😱 I forgot to check the possible changes in the account before deploying. Hopefully, anything broke but, that would be great to have that indeed.

Update: it does look like I can run the command interactively and press (a) to select all objects

Ah, yes if you want to do it manually every time, you can do the Select All; my brain has been in devops automation mode for months 😄

Hope to get there eventually. But before I automate I want to get a feel for all the gotchas, which unfortunately there seem to be a lot of 😕

^ The order of the tags in the XML that SDF pulls down seems to be completely arbitrary. I noticed lots of changes that were just XML tags changing order.

Same!

I have a small node.js script that reads the deploy.xml and only updates the objects mentioned in it. We specify each file&object in deploy.xml.
