In the age of Salesforce DX, the way we build on the Salesforce platform is changing. Part of that change includes the addition of scratch orgs. Dedicated to bringing the benefits of DX to admins as well as developers, we added the ability to create a scratch org in Gearset with just one click. Our latest beta now also lets you create scratch orgs from any existing definition files, without having to resort to the CLI.

Gearset has recently upgraded the version of PMD our static code analysis is built on, from 5.8.1 to 6.3.0. In this upgrade PMD fixed a few bugs but also added the ability to suppress Apex code warnings, as well as 16 new rules, giving you more power to tailor your rule set to your needs.

At Gearset we’ve stayed on the cutting edge of DevOps on the Salesforce platform by taking advantage of the new APIs that Salesforce gives us in each release. With the release of Summer ‘18 I had a go at writing a plugin for the Salesforce CLI (sfdx) to expose the new Metadata Coverage report in the terminal.

We want to make configuring your deployments as fast and easy as possible. One way we try to do this is through custom metadata filtering. With the latest release, you can now add regex patterns to object-level filters to specify exactly which objects to include. You can also now pick specific items you want to exclude too.

Source-driven development is at the heart of modern Salesforce release management. Shifting the source of truth from the org to version control is the foundation on which DX is built, vital for letting developers build collaboratively. If you or your team are looking to harness the full power of Salesforce DX, make sure you have your version control strategy in place before you get started.
