TLS 1.1 support
Salesforce are rolling out the requirement for org connections to use TLS 1.1 or above over summer 2016. Will Gearset support this?
1 voteGearset is now fully compatible with the TLS 1.1 and above requirements for all Salesforce orgs.

Add a test runner interface
Which would allow schedule full test runs and get an emailed report of all failures to stay ahead of an errant admin change blowing up a deployment, before you are validating a change set in your production environment.
1 voteThis is now live for all users under the “Schedule tests” tab in the app. You can also get notifications by email, SMS, Chatter and Slack.

allow meta data compare to be optional for large orgs
When preparing any deploy in Gearset, it requires a full meta data pull which can take 10-15 min (and then timeout) to do any deploy. This is extremely challenging when we're just looking to deploy a new custom field or workflow.
It'd be ideal to add an option for not doing a full org compare/diff and instead allowing for selecting the meta data components you need to migrate.
2 votesYou can select specific metadata object types to include in your comparisons from the “Manage custom filters” dropdown underneath the “Compare now” button in the app. This will only download the selected metadata types, and speed up your comparisons.
-
Show which tests have been run
In the post-deployment summary, rather than just list the numbers, list the actual tests that have run.

Add support for cloning a deployment
Having already made or attempted a deployment, it'd be nice to be able to deploy the same set of resources to another org (essentially creating a deployment package).
5 votesYou can now clone an inbound deployment package by selecting “Clone deployment” from the deployment history tab.

Offer a hosted version of Gearset Deploy
As well as providing an installer, it would offer greater flexibility if you could also provide a hosted version of Gearset Deploy.
16 votesI’m happy to announce that we’ve now launched a hosted version of Gearset Deploy.
Simply visit the site (https://gearset.com) to try it out. If you have any feedback about the hosted version, please feel free to leave feedback or email the team directly at team@gearset.com

Stay logged in / save comparisons
At the moment I need to login every time I want to do a comparison, so a stay-logged-in feature would be great, as would the ability to save a comparison and re-run it rather than need to customise it each time.
1 voteHi Jonny,
I’m going to mark this as completed, although it’s more of a completed two out of three requests.
We’ve added a comparison history feature so that you can easily access the results of any comparisons you’ve carried out between two Salesforce orgs.
Additionally, we’ve improved the customized comparison functionality by adding the ability to save customized comparisons and improved access for selecting them on the main UI which will be a big time saver for you.
We haven’t added the stay logged in feature and we can future that.
-
Add an OAuth feature for connecting to your orgs
As well as the username/password option on the credentials page - add an OAuth option to enable connecting to the source and target orgs.

Provide support for deployment and object dependencies
Gearset Deploy should provide a way to show any object dependencies before a deployment is due to take place.
10 votesDependencies are now available, and you’ll be warned when you try to deploy an object without its dependencies.
-
Persist a customized comparison config when starting a new comparison
If I choose to compare specific types using the Customize Comparison feature - Gearset Deploy should remember those choice(s) when I start the subsequent comparison(s).
4 votesYou can create and save custom comparison filters from the dropdown underneath the “Compare now” button on in the app.

Improve the functionality of the code diff viewer
The diff viewer could potentially have several enhancements:
- add indicators as to where the differences are in the overall file. This would give you visual feedback and let you scroll to a specific part of the document. They could also be clickable to jump specifically to the diff(s).
- Collapse by default lines that are the same to reduce the need to scroll and focus more easily on the diffs.
- Potentially offer the ability to switch between the current side-by-side view to something like the format in GitHub with differences grouped vertically.
- Add the ability to undock the diff viewer from…
7 votesWe’ve made many improvements to the diff viewer over the past year. These include, highlighting the code diff, auto scrolling to changes, resizeable diff viewer, grouping complex objects (e.g. Profiles) into logical groups for easier navigation, and Picklist rendering. Shortly we’ll be adding image rendering too. If you’d like to see any other specific additions, please submit a new idea so we can keep you up to date with our progress.

Provide more feedback about progress when comparing/deploying
It would be an improvement if additional user feedback could be displayed about the progress of the comparison or deployment stages. Something showing the percentage of progress or an estimated time to complete if possible.
2 votesWe now show you which batches are being downloaded.
-
Add the ability to resize the diff viewer pane
I'd really like to increase the size of the diff viewer so that I can inspect more lines at once. Currently requires quite a bit of scrolling when it's a large diff.
1 voteYou can now drag the diff viewer to resize it.

OSX Version Please!
Need an OSX version to be able to use it if its going to be an offline tool! can't use now unless I borrow a PC or use a VM!
1 voteHi Manu,
we’ve now released a hosted version of Gearset Deploy so it can now simply be accessed from any browser.
Feel free to create new ideas about the service in our forum, or you can email us at team@gearset.com with any questions.

Edit "Existing Saved Filters" on an "Existing CI Job"
If using a saved filter on CI job, there is no easy to update an existing saved filter from the CI job directly.
Here is my current workflow:
Start a new compare and edit / save the filter from there, then going back to the CI job, refreshing filters and reselected the saved filtered.
If multiple CI jobs are setup it's easy to miss some jobs which are dependent on updated filter.
Alternative solution - Provide toggle to update all related CI jobs which use the filter.

Deploy from change monitoring result
It would be great to be able to deploy changes detected in a specific change monitor result from the report history. Either to roll them back if they are unwanted, or deploy them to other orgs to replicate them into dev boxes.
0 votesWe think there are two parts to this request.
We’ve now added the ability to roll back changes from a change monitor result – you can selectively remove any changes made to that org on a daily basis by comparing from a snapshot to live state.
We’re now working on adding support to clone a detected change and deploy it to other orgs. This would let you push changes made in Prod down to a Sandbox, for example.
The second part of this is contained in another ticket, so we’re marking this one as completed.

Deploy to source control
It would be great to be able to deploy changes to my source control system, as well as from them, from the hosted app.

Sort on column headings in Manage Orgs page
Ability to sort on the column headings in the Manage Orgs page.
0 votesUpdate on 19th July: this is now live
Thanks for suggesting this, it should make the Manage Orgs easier to use.
This work has been completed on our preview environment and is going through our testing cycle.
ETA is to release this on 18th or 19th of July.
Thanks,
Kevin
