Updating Unmanaged Package #65

Closed jarrods123 closed 4 years ago

jarrods123 commented 4 years ago

Hi,

To start out I'm not a developer, I'm wondering what your recommended method would be to update the unmanaged package other than the uninstall re-install method, as I have a number of things built into the environment that would not facilitate this. Additionally to the above query, how would you recommend promoting the package to a production environment?. I understand you have responded to a similar issue only a few days ago, however I'm hoping you can provide more of a method for the regression testing / pulling from github into a sandbox.

Thank you.

Yes, while re-install method is the easiest for upgrading, you may end up loosing your configuration. Hence it may not be the best way forward in your situation.

Unfortunately, the only way is to get Github Content and move it your org. That process requires some type of knowledge for Git, Salesforce MDAPI etc.

There are also some tools which can help you take Github code and deploy to your sandbox. Here is an example:

You could test it with a test org first and then try to deploy it in your sandbox. But, you have to be careful if you have custom configurations, This will overwrite your code. In that case, we go back to having to do this manually and then merge changes.

Apologies, I don't have any tool or advise on how you can pull latest code without overwriting your customizations (at least not without manually doing it )
