Deploying from SF to Repo with unlocked packages can result in items deploying incorrectly
When deploying from SF to a branch that has the force-app and unlocked packages, if you deploy an item that would include the object file it deploys to the unlocked package directory instead of the default app listed in the project.json. The end result is everything related to the object is moved from the force-app to the unlocked package directory.
Steps to recreate:
Enable source tracked sandboxes
Create a new dev sandbox
Create a new branch and link it to the new sandbox
Create a new field on Contact
Edit a search layout on Contact

create a Default Value setting on Source Control & Connections
Reading the previous suggestions this might be a bug.
Where a user has multiple connections to Github, Bitbucket etc. It would be good to be able to set a default connection.
It is suggested that when you go to Compare, the last selection should be displayed. But I am not seeing that happening?
I would expect the default Source to display, no matter what Compare I and setting.

Scratch orgs with packages with InstallationKeys fails to install in CI
When creating a new scratch org you have the option of specifying the package and the installation key. This option is not available in a CI job to scratch org target scenario.
When there are dependencies specified in the sfdx-project.json file that requires an installation key the CI job run fails when the CI tries to install them.
There needs to be a way to specify the installation key, either by a custom JSON field in the sfdx-project.json, or on the CI job itself.

Problem Analyzers don't evaluate changes made from other Problem Analzyers
Even though this example has an easy workaround, it does seem like a scenario which could present issues in other deployments.
In the scenario where a standard application that doesn't exist in the target (ex. Sandboxes and LightningInstrumentation) is included in a deployment (along with its permissions), there's 2 problem analyzers that come into play
"Remove standard application additions/deletions from deployment"
"Remove items which reference the listed components which are not available in the target"
When both metadata types are selected (application and permission) only #1 is flagged. This means Gearset removes the standardApplication, but leaves the references to the…

Don't change the first 2 rows of a metadata file in version control
Usually a Metadata file retrieved from Salesforce starts like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<PermissionSet xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">So two lines, first with the version and encoding UTF-8 and second with the type of metadata.
Now when GearSet does the deployment to version control, either from an Org or a Branch it uses this styling of the first row:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><PermissionSet xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
So everything on one line, with the encoding in lower case.
I don't see a logical reason this should be different in the files and is then causing differences in the version control system.
Thanks for looking into this.6 votes -
Allow standard linux path in sfdx-project.json
if path contains "./force-app" a bug appears, if we write "force-app" it works. so first one should work to

Keep list of specified tests
When choosing specified tests to do a validation, let's say from a comparison that was created from a bunch of drafts that were combined, the pop-up will show the specified tests that were chosen originally for those drafts that were combined. That is awesome and is exactly what I want.
The problem is the "Fetching test classes from Salesforce" then occurs automatically and replaces that list with the full list of test classes, and check the boxes for all of them, replacing my existing list. That means I have to go back and choose my list of specified tests again.

For Deleted components, "Changed On" date should be date component was Deleted
After doing a major changes in an org, one can be left with a lot of deleted components to deploy. In the comparison view, they don't show up as expected. The Changed On" date isn't the date deleted. It uses the last modified date in the destination. So deleted something last week could up as last modified 2 years ago.
Ideal: Gearset would to get the Setup Audit Trail via API and display the actual deleted date of deleted components5 votes -
When Field is Deleted Permission Set changes are not recognized for the Field
Let's say we have only one object in the system. Addressc. And we have one Permission Set -> "System Administrator" with only "FieldPermissions" for all fields in the "Addressc" object.
Now I wish to Remove 2 Fields from "FieldPermissions" of the "System Administrator" Permission Set.
1st Field I'm removing just because I do not want the permission to be in the Permission set
2d Field I'm Removing from Permission Set, as I have physically deleted the Field.On Compare And Deploy Page I will See Deleted Field and I will see only one Section to be removed from…

"Next" button on comparison page sometimes does not work
Sometimes, the "Next" button on the comparison page does not work. In the Developer Console I can see a 403 response from "POST https://app.gearset.com/api/static-code-analysis", traced to "raygun.js:2016".
In this case, I have to reload the comparison page.
This happens quite often (I estimate 1 in 5 times).
I don't think that it's a timeout issue (CSRF token or sth.), because just right now I only marked one file in the comparison list and wanted to proceed, and the button didn't work.
On other occasions, I spend a lot more minutes on the comparison page, and the button works perfectly.

Add new connection ends in loop
When I add a new connection via choosing "Salesforce authentication", I need to enter the username. I click on "Authorize". Instead of a redirect to the Salesforce login screen, I see a blank page with a gearset spinner logo. But this screen takes hours and will not redirect. I'm using Firefox and the Org is a sandbox (sandbox is also selected)

Stop the reordering of XML when deploying to git
At commit to branch, Gearset reorders large chunks of the XML file. This causes additional deltas (seen in the hundreds of lines) and merge conflicts.

Changed by and Changed Date not populating from DX structure in Repository
Using the DX/source structure in a repository (Github), no "item changed" date is shown for any metadata types in the comparison window.
This leads to gearset not being able to provide last changed date or who last changed anything in a Source DX repository. It's left with "unknown" and makes our comparisons and selections more difficult when users rely on that information.

Permission sets not deploying correctly
When deploying a permission set, it was being deployed without the permissions checked, even though Gearset detects that the permission is checked in the metadata compare.

Summary pages should always include ALL changed files
I believe this to be a bug, but it might be intentional. In any case, the current functionality is, in my opinion, poorly conceived.
If a user adds a deletion to a comparison between an org and git, the deleted metadata is the only item that will show up in Gearset. However, if you inspect the resulting commit in git, you will see that the metadata was deleted along with all of the profiles, layouts, etc that had to be changed as a side effect.
I'm completely fine with Gearset detecting these dependencies and making the changes to them. It…

custom object translation of the Product2 object
The custom object translation of the Product2 object, specifically, is not behaving like the other custom object translations. So when I changed the label of this standard Object : Product2 (Set-up -> rename tabs and labels)
i can't find it in Gearset. I have to make this change manuelly.1 vote -
Suppress "changed on" datetimes in difference viewer where datetime is the same as the metadata retrieval datetime
The difference viewer will show Changed on values for the current datetime for certain metadata types - probably because SFDC is returning such a value when, in fact, the source didn't change at all
- Custom object
- Settings
- Standard valueset
- Workflow rules
displaying the current datetime of the compare run (i.e. the metadata retrieve datetime) is not helpful when trying to filter on changed date in the difference viewer (i.e. sort descending)

Optimize comparison list view
The comparison view contains a list view in a scrollable area with an line item for every metadata item in the comparison. Depending on the comparison, this list can be exorbitantly long (10k+ lines). Displaying this many elements on screen is extremely inefficient, and causes browsers to lock up when selecting the "check all" check box (because it results in thousands of incremental manipulations in the DOM). This issue also causes mobile browsers to crash when more than a thousand or so items show in the comparison results.
There is a common pattern for handling long lists like this, in…

When pushing Workflow rules and associated actions, gearset mistakenly says target objects do not exist
When pushing work flow rules and associated actions, if you do a compare with only workflow, then gearset prompts an error indicating that the target objects do not exist in the destination and that the rules should be removed from the package for the deployment to be successful. In this case, it told me Account, Event and Opportunity do not exist in the target. Including other metadata from the referenced fields resolves the issue.
