  1. Make pre/post deployment steps conditional on developer sandboxes.

    Pre/Post deployment notes can be set to pertains to various static environments but they always apply to sandboxes after a back deploy. This should be conditional-- most of the time I only set them applicable to prod and they aren't applicable to developer sandboxes.

  2. Add "Open Branches" Tab to Development Sandbox Environments in Pipeline

    The only way to deploy an existing feature branch into a development sandbox is to perform a manual compare and deploy. Previously, we had our developer sandboxes set up as static environments which allowed us to create PRs against them for "re-deploy". This is not possible with the new Development Sandbox format. I suggest another tab be added called "Open Branches" which will allow the developers to select a feature to pull and work on in their development environment. That way we get the benefit of easy compare & deploy instead of having to manually compare and deploy. This will…

  3. sandbox seeding size

    When deploying data to sandboxes, it would be helpful to get an approximation of the amount of data and file space a seeding job will need. I have on numerous occasions hit storage limits as a developer sandbox only has 200 megabytes of usable space.

  4. Add an option to ignore ".forceignore" files

    When a repository contains a forceignore file, deployments to that repo will not include these elements.
    Sometime however it might be necessary to explicitly deploy these elements (e.g. manually).

    I propose to add a flag "Ignore .forceignore" at least for manual comparisons + deploys to be able to still push generelly ignore components to the repository.

  5. It would be great to have a centralized way to view all components and static code analysis results for every commit within a branch.

    It would be great to have a centralized view for all components and static code analysis results across every commit within a feature branch. For example, if a developer makes five commits to the same branch, it would be much more efficient to review the components and static code analysis results for the entire branch in one place, rather than checking each commit individually through the deployment history. Additionally, there should be an export option to easily share the results with developers. Thanks

  6. Show duration for comparison jobs

    While the Comparison History screen shows when a comparison job was initiated, it would be extremely helpful to display the duration of that comparison job, from when it was initiated, to when it was completed.

    Ideally, this would show on the Comparison History screen, and/or on the actual Comparison screen itself after it was completed.

  7. Visibility settings for 'Shared Sandboxes' in the gearset pipeline

    Currently, Gearset only supports the binary visibility settings for sandboxes; either the developer could see his/her sandbox or everyone's sandbox. But in the case of a 'Shared Sandbox,' there is no ability to give visibility access only to a specific subset of users in the pipeline.

  9. Seed Data alongside Feature Branch Promotions to Orgs

    The idea is to bundle the data that should be tested along with the feature branch, so that once a story is deployed the data is also available (similar to one of Copado's features).

    This allows us to test regardless of dev, partial or full copy sandbox type. Allow for a set of data to go along with a feature for testing reports and analytical tools. Possibly integrate existing Seeding Templates that can be paired with a feature branch. Allow for configuration of data deployments to environments through the CI job for feature+data deployments. Allowing some environments to refuse the…

    The current LWC difference viewer shows the components linearly from top to bottom - meta, css, html, js. Just like you did with the side bar navigator for layout, add a side bar navigator for the LWC bundles

  11. Allow developer sandbox updates to be qued instead of failing

    When you update developer sanboxes you can only do a max of 2 at a time or else the extras fail and do not automatically retry when the other are done. I would like if they would just enter into a que so that you could click update on all of them and not have to wait until the first 2 are done to then click the next two.

  13. Promotion PRs should show the original author on GitHub enterprise

    Hello, according to the documentation here - https://docs.gearset.com/en/articles/8545155-why-are-my-prs-showing-the-pipeline-owner, promotion PRs created by Gearset in GitHub can show the original author of the PR. After talking with support, they told me that this feature is not supported for GitHub Enterprise. Could this be made available in Github Enterprise, as it is now in GitHub?

  15. Git Delta Deployment

    I think it would be great if Gearset pipeline feature changed to do a pure Git delta deployment instead of a Git/Org delta deployment. The reason for this is that then you only deploy your work (or what has changed) instead of deploying potentially any differences between the given branch and your org. Here's more information on this concept: https://developer.salesforce.com/blogs/2021/01/optimizing-unpackaged-deployments-using-a-delta-generation-tool

  16. Allow users to choose their default comparison view

    Different types of Gearset user will prefer to analyse comparisons in different ways. Some will definitely prefer the XML view; others will prefer the new simplified views.

    I think it would be great if Gearset allowed users to specify their default view and comparisons load with this preference.

  18. Prevent Pipeline Paths from crossing Static or Developer environments

    Sometimes depending on how you setup the pipeline you can end up with pipeline paths crossing/going under static environments and developer sandboxes.

    This gives the impression that they are connected when they are not.

    I would like it to look like this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1s59BS47wEuHFA8Grb0SLdFSH00AgWw0W/view?usp=sharing

  20. Automating/Scheduling DevSandboxUpdate aka Back promotions in gearset pipeline

    This is currently planned for later this quarter and next.


    Users will have the option to:

    • Bulk update selected dev sandboxes
    • Automate developer sandbox updates; they will be immediately tried as and when ready


    If users want to automate dev sandbox sychronization now, they can use CI jobs to deploy changes from their desired source of truth - this comes with some risk of affecting work in progress though.

  • Don't see your idea?
