Does anyone have a bash script which will use the suitecloud object:list to get a list of objects in a destination account and use this list to compare to the list of objects contained in the SDF Project to determine two things. 1. Are there any objects in the SDF Project not in the list of objects in the destination account. 2. Are there any objects in the SDF Project which are comparatively different with the same object in the destination account. Then use this to rewrite the object path list in the deploy.xml file?

I wrote this python script to do what you're trying to do a while back. What I do is create a branch of my of my SDF project, run this script to pull in differences and then merge the changes into my main branch. You'll probably want to update the supported_types section to specify the object types and prefixes you want to import. For example, we don't store SDF objects from 3rd parties in our repo.

parser.add_argument("--authid",help="Specify the NetSuite Auth ID to use")
args = parser.parse_args()

#
# Specify combination of type and scriptid prefix to import. All others will be ignored.
# Regex is supported for both type and scriptid prefix
#
supported_types = [
    {"type": "^(clientscript|usereventscript|scheduledscript|mapreducescript|suitelet|restlet|customglplugin|portlet|workflowactionscript)$", "prefix": "^customscript"},
    {"type": "customlist", "prefix": "^customlist"},

Awesome! Thanks!!!!
