  1. Ability to store elements selected during a Comparison for later use

    Use case, before a deployment I determine which components I want to deploy, validate the deployment ... but then want to complete the actual deployment at a future date from within Gearset (i.e. once we get sign-off from the client).

    Yes, I am aware you can download the validated package. I want to (ideally) complete the actual deployment in Gearset.

    Hi,

    We’ve just released our ‘draft deployment’ feature in the app which will allow you to do just this.

    Here’s how it works:
    - Run a comparison as usual. From the comparison results, click Save draft deployment
    - Your object selections and the comparison will be saved to your Draft Deployment history
    - You can then return to continue building this deployment from your history at a later date
    - If you’ve invited other users into your team, you can also edit and collaborate on their Drafts to build a deployment package together

    Hope that helps,
    Jason.

  2. Option to run tests when deploying to dev or sandbox orgs

    You run tests when deploying to production orgs, which is great, but sometimes I want to force tests to be run when deploying to sandboxes or dev orgs. Can you add in an option to run tests for these orgs?

  3. 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?

  4. Org metadata snapshots

    Allow a snapshot/backup of an org prior to running a deployment. Allow us to use this as a source of a new deployment if we want to revert any changes previously deployed, or at least download the package.

    This feature is now available. You can take snapshots of your metadata on-demand via the Change Monitoring feature and download the zip file created.

    Use the local files option when configuring your comparison.

  5. Add support for GitLab

    Like the integration with GitHub, to compare and deploy from repos to our Salesforce orgs.

  6. Allow users to choose when change monitoring and unit testing jobs run

    The change & test automation is great, but we can't choose when these jobs run. The option to choose when to run jobs so they don't coincide with dev work would be a great addition.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

    You 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.

  9. Show which tests have been run

    In the post-deployment summary, rather than just list the numbers, list the actual tests that have run.

  10. 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).

  11. 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.

    Hi 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.

  12. 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!

  14. 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).

  15. 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…

    We’ll send you updates on this idea

    We’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.

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
