  1. Filter comparions by date since x

    The current functionality for filtering by date is welcomed, but I would like to suggest the ability to filter by date range.
    Just some examples:
    Date >= x
    Date <= x
    Date >= x and <= y

  2. Add context to the subject line for Gearset Deployment completed

    The email to the submitter of a deployment has a subject line with no context. It reads: "Your deployment has finished"

    Be great if it would say "Your deployment from <source name> to <target name> has finished". Especially helpful when user is manipulating many orgs and has to rapidly scan inbox.

  3. Warn when deploying objects without profile settings

    I build a VF page, test it, deploy it and discover much later that I forgot to add profiles other than system admin to the page. Users can't see the page and get a permissions denied error.

    So, the suggestion is to have a an optional analyzers that warns when deploying a new VF page to a target org where the only permission is System Admin. While this could be legit in some use cases, in most use cases, this is a self-inflicted omission.

  4. Remember last used Custom Filter, or set a Default Filter

    It would be nice to be able to set a default custom filter.
    Since the default "Default comparison" filter doesn't suffice for me.

  5. Improve formatting of the XML pushed to git

    Is it possible to improve the formatting of the XML?
    The XML returned from MavensMate is formatted better.

    It's mainly just missing new-lines.

    We’ve made a bunch of improvements to the XML formatting this year, including tidying up which namespaces are included and having more consistent indentation and newline behaviour.

    As always, we love feedback on the changes we’re making so please submit another idea if there is still improvements we can make in this area!

    Thanks,

  6. Support auto-complete in the dropdown for Source Control repos

    Would it be possible to provide an autocomplete dropdown when selecting the git-repo? Similar to selecting the Salesforce-org.

  7. Allow user to choose the folder in a git repo that contains metadata

    Improve git access by allowing the user to define folder where metadata is stored in a git repo.

    We are not keeping directly content of src in git branch but src folder because we have there also few other folders.

    The problem is that if I try to compare sandbox with git then I am getting results that all files are new.

  8. Provide link to the deployment status

    When CI Jobs are running or when monitoring a deployment, it would be nice to have a link to the target salesforce environment's deployment status page.

  9. Run external tools like PMD as part of Schedule Tests/Monitor Org

    PMD tool that does apex code 'quality' measurements would be kind of cool to run (optionally) as part of a regular monitoring/test job. This could be generalized to any external tool

    Gearset will now run PMD to track code analysis as part of the Monitoring and Backup flow. The plan is to roll this out to other parts of the app so we can more easily track the change in code quality.

  10. A way to view failed deployments from Gearset

    Right now if a deployment fails in Gearset, it doesn't show up anywhere within Gearset; it just sends you an email. It would be nice to have a place to view failed deployments and retry them (maybe it only failed because the environment was locked), just like you can with successful deployments in Deployment History.

  11. Online help for Manage custom filters

    For large Orgs, doing a comparison with the default set of metadata types can take a long time, and so it is necessary to select a smaller subset of metadata types to compare.

    However sometimes it is not obvious how a particular configuration change in Salesforce relates to the metadata types in the custom filters dialog, and what dependencies exist between them. For example, after changing "Override" settings in the "Transalation Workbench" in Salesforce, it is not immediately obvious that you need to select both "Custom object" and "Custom object translation" metadata types in Gearset, rather than the "Translations" metadata…

    Gearset now links to the metadata documentation for each Salesforce type.

    If you think there is more information we should be displaying, or if you’d like some custom documentation, then just let us know!

    Thanks,

  12. What does the "Unknown" value mean in the Changed By column

    How should I interpret the "Unknown" value under the Changed By column when viewing comparisons? In what scenarios would the value Unknown appear? Please advise

    We’ll send you updates on this idea

    Salesforce does not return the full information for the changed on / by for some metadata items via the API. In these cases you’ll see “Unknown” as the changed by. This is typically components of larger objects, such as fields on a custom object. Gearset shows these as discrete components which can be deployed, but Salesforce generally only returns the changed information for the parent object. We are hoping that over time, Salesforce will improve the reporting of the API to include more information for these sub-components. As soon as it does, we will display that extra information. Hope that helps.

  13. Prev/Next buttons did not function for setting the focus when in APEX view mode

    When viewing an Apex class with differences, the Prev/Next buttons did not function for setting the focus in APEX view mode however they did function when in XML view mode.

  14. Remember my default source control system and default to it

    We use Bitbucket not git hub. So on compare metadata screen when I go to Source Control radio would be nice for the version system to default to bitbucket.

    Small tweak I know but annoying to change every time. Easiest might be that the drop down list stays set to whatever system you used last?

    Hi Douglas,

    I’m marking this as completed because this feature is already implemented and should remember the last VCS system you used – if it isn’t working then that’s a bug!

    Note that it’s currently only implemented on the Compare and Deploy page, and is specific to the source/target (so using Bitbucket on the source side won’t carry over to the target side until you’ve used Bitbucket once on that side, and vice versa).

    The preference is only saved when you actually kick off a comparison. Clearing your local storage for `app.gearset.com` may clear up any issues if you’re having problems.

    We’d love your feedback if this isn’t working or isn’t implemented as you’d expect it to be.

    Thanks,
    Oli

  15. Search for test classes

    It would be nice to be able to search for test classes instead of having to type them out in a comma separated list. Gearset already has such a nice search capability and it would be great if it were applied to that dialog as well.

  16. Allow for test options from Validated Packages tab

    After validating a package, the Deploy button under the Validated Packages tab should offer the same test options (No tests, Specify tests, etc.) as it does during the normal deployment workflow.

    This can now be done by clicking the new Details button on a validation, which will take you to a page which includes the normal deployment workflow button with testing options.

    Thanks for the suggestion!

  17. Be able to create a CI Job with the option to validate only (and quick deploy later).

    For the case where users have committed changes to a "master" branch, it would be useful to automatically run a full validation on the new commit in the Production environment. In that way, a deployment manager can review the changes and quickly deploy a validated package that has passed all tests in Production.

  18. Be able to require a commit message for deployments

    Sometimes a user may forget to add in a commit message before deploying, so the history in our source control is "no commit message" which is not editable. Can we add a feature to be able to turn on marking commit messages as a requirement for deploy?

  19. Allow scheduled jobs to be assigned a different authentication user

    We would like the ability to change over scheduled monitoring/testing jobs to a different authentication user. Currently if we need to switch an authentication we lose the history.

    Consider:
    I leave my employer and I need to switch the monitoring over to another developer or admin. I have to delete all the current scheduled jobs and re-create them using the other users authorization. Which causes the history to be lost.

  20. Add org name column to deployment history

    We currently have to prefix the deployment friendly name in deployment history with our sandbox/org name to be able to sort by target. It is not easily filtered either as the name column includes both source and target. We would like to have the target org as its own column in deployment history, and have it use the org friendly name as the value if one has been set.
