Question on `sfdx force:lightning:test:install -t jasmine` #71

Closed tsneed290 closed 6 years ago

tsneed290 commented 6 years ago

I was curious if it is expected that sfdx force:lightning:test:install -t jasmine is run for each CI job? I ask this because after running sfdx force:lightning:test:install -t jasmine I then ran sfdx force:source:pull, expecting to see the Jasmine test runner component show up in my local project, so that I could check it into my project's SCM. Unfortunately that source code was not pulled.

I'm still getting used to SFDX's project structure, and from what I can tell, I cannot use my Force.com IDE plugin for Eclipse to connect to this scratch org (am I wrong there?) to pull the source.

Thanks for any insights!

Idea with sfdx force:lightning:test:install is that you install the package into the scratch org before pushing your source (and tests) to it and keep your code decoupled from the LTS code (enabling you to digest new versions of the package more easily).

If you prefer to keep the copy of LTS code in your repo (for more control or customization), you are welcome to do that (there are multiple ways). You could retrieve installed package source via sfdx force:mdapi:retrieve by passing in package name or get the source directly from this repository (sfdx-waw-plugin plugin's sfdx waw:source:oss command can help with that)

Original Force.com IDE does not support SFDX source format. There is however Force IDE 2 (being deprecated in favor of VS Code extensions) which does. This blog post has some more details on the future IDE investments being made for force.com platform.
