  1. Support integration with OKTA

    Salesforce orgs that have OKTA as a SSO Identify Provider cannot seem to be connected to Gearset using SF Authentication. Therefore is makes it impossible to do Monitoring and Tests.

    Please look into supporting OKTA SSO

  2. Add an option to disable the "repository sanitizer"

    The "repository sanitizer" performs unsolicited/silently changes which confuse users and generate issues. For instance, if you have Apex class permissions in profiles for classes which are part of a managed package and are not present in the repository, this sanitizer will modify the permissions to false which is obviously a disaster, (and the changes can happen any moment, while users are trying to deploy something completely unrelated hence the confusion).

    We know the solution is to have the classes also in the repository but for managed packages that's unnecessary extra work since then we need to be updating them every…

  3. configure which problem analyzer results to use in CI jobs

    Being able to configure which problem analyser results to use in CI jobs.

    For instance, we can’t deploy any changes to managed packages because the problem analyser will ignore them (even though we have components from a managed package that we can modify and deploy without issues), that would help to reduce our manual steps during deployments.

  4. List the unit tests failures in the email notification being sent out

    Currently, when the unit test job fails, we can view the test history and results by going to the web page. However, we would like to view the summary of unit tests that failed in the email notification that is being sent out.

  5. Allow multiple Team owners to Connect to the bitbucket server through OAuth instead of creating a new link every time with in same Org

    With in an org if we have multiple owners working as multiple teams, Gearset should be able to allow other owners to connect to the same Biibucket server through OAuth, instead of creating a new link every time.

  6. Support the CustomHelpMenuSection metadata item

    We use the CustomHelpMenuSection item to customise our Help & Training dropdown list in Salesforce, and we would like to include it in our deployments automatically.

    It's been available in the Metadata API since version 45, but Gearset doesn't appear to support it yet.

    Will it be available soon?

  7. Add Failure Information to CI Job's Email Notifications

    Currently, Unit Test jobs provide a nice email notification of what tests failed right in the email body.

    CI jobs, however, provides the same generic message for failures for validations as below:

    "The validation only CI job, Release Validation, has failed. Find and fix the validation issues on the error summary page in your CI job history"

    and for CI deployments

    "A continuous integration job, Prod to Dev3, has failed. No changes were deployed to the target org.

    Find and fix the deployment issues on the error summary page in your CI job history. "

    It'd be great to get…

  8. Allow Updating of Associated Jira Ticket Statuses on Successful Deployment

    With Gearset's current the ability to associate a deployment with Jira tickets, and post updates as comments to the stages of deployments, the ability to choose the status (from what is defined in the status of the Jira Board), upon a SUCCESSFUL deployment, would be incredibly helpful in our environment plans for our projects.

    By being able to select the status to update all tickets to from the Jira board, we could effectively manage our custom stages for different projects.

  9. Add link to test results in Microsoft Teams

    Please add a link to the test results as part of the notifications sent to Microsoft Teams. The integration with Slack already includes the link so it would be very helpful to have a similar integration in Microsoft Teams.

  10. Add batch size option to data deployment

    It would be great to be able to pick the batch size used when doing data deployments.

    We have to work with some orgs using poorly performing managed packages that are blowing up due to CPU limits.

    We don't have many option, so being able to reduce the batch size, and hence the CPU load would be really useful.

  11. CI dashboard: Show commitId when job is in flight; Show queued commitIds

    On CI Dashboard page, a CI job in flight (deploying/validating) should show the commitId that triggered it (if any) PLUS show all pending CI jobs.

    Reason: If two developers are sequentially merging to a shared branch tied to the CI org (and webhook is setup to run immediately), then the first developer's merge starts CI job 1 while the second developer's job is queued.

    Yet, from the CI job page there is no way to even tell which commit to the branch is running (so as to clue the developer that his/her job is running vs queued. Commit message would…

    Thanks for the suggestion! When a CI job is running from git, the commit hash and the commit message is now visible for all git providers. In addition, for GitHub, Gitlab and BitBucket sources, a link to go to the relevant commit will be displayed.

  12. Improve Bitbucket Server integration for teams with large number of project/repositories

    ideally... gearset should not be hitting https://adlm.nielsen.com/bitbucket/rest/api/1.0/repos
    first. It should hit https://adlm.nielsen.com/bitbucket/rest/api/1.0/projects to get a list of projects
    then allow the end user to select the project
    then https://adlm.nielsen.com/bitbucket/rest/api/1.0/projects/{projectKey}/repos to get a list of repos on the project the end user selects

  13. Stop Reordering Package.xml

    We would like to keep our package.xml file in alphabetical/lexicographical order by the <type> element. Gearset appears to change the order so that datatypes that include all <members> elements (i.e. use an asterisk) are placed at the bottom of the file. This inconsistent sort order makes datatypes harder to find when viewing or amending the file.

  14. Deployment screen to show which components were selected vs included

    When you get to the summary page, often times you will be deploying with the need for sub-components to be included in the package despite them being actual changes.

    When you're selecting those items inside the comparison page, it would be helpful to see that total be reflected in the deployment summary page. So if you picked 50 items to deploy but it needed an additional 1,000 components (despite them having No Difference) then we should see those breakdowns on the Deployment Summary

    Gearset soft alrt message "Some components with difference type of No difference have been added to the…

  16. Report CI validation/deployment status to source control

    When a CI job is triggered by a commit to source control, please update the source control system with the result of the build - so that e.g. with Bitbucket we could see the build result from pull requests as at https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/check-build-status-in-a-pull-request-945541505.html

  18. Ability to run a Validation only CI job on a pull request - this will make pull request ready for deployment without error

    1. Developer creates a pull request to a branch
    2. CI job validates the pull request and notify in case of errors
    3. Developer corrects errors - CI job again validates the pull request and this time it is fine 4.Release manager merges the pull request to the branch specific to an org and CI job deploys without error.
