@salesforce/change-case-management v2.2.0

Salesforce Change Case Management

Manage change case records in a release management system in Salesforce using something like Agile Accelerator. This uses two record types on Case that to manage changes to tools and services during a release; Change Case and Change Case Template. It creates the change case, checks the release is approved, and closes the change case when the release is in the wild.

The typical flow would be:

1. Build and test staged artifacts.
2. Create a change case before doing a release. - sfchangecase create
3. Check the release is approved. - sfchangecase check
4. Release the artifacts to production.
5. Close the change case that the release is deployed. - sfchangecase close

If there is a lot of time during stage 2 (not part of the same CD process), record the change case ID to be used in step 3 and 5.

Configuration

All options are configurable by environment variables and are prefixed with SF_CHANGE_CASE. All command parameters can use environment variable as defaults. They are snake cased with the prefix.

The most important environment variable is for authentication. Set SF_CHANGE_CASE_SFDX_AUTH_URL to the SFDX auth url to the org in which the change cases will be created.

All command configuration: | Environment Variable | Description | | ---------------------------- | ----------- | | SF_CHANGE_CASE_SFDX_AUTH_URL | The SFDX auth url to authenticate to a Salesforce org that the change cases belong to. | | SF_CHANGE_CASE_BYPASS | Skip the change case command. | | SF_CHANGE_CASE_DRYRUN | Run the command without making any DML to an org. Authentication is still required. |

Create command configuration: | Environment Variable | Description | | --------------------------------------------- | ----------- | | SF_CHANGE_CASE_CHANGE_RECORD_TYPE_ID | The case record type ID for a change case. This will be the different for different orgs. | | SF_CHANGE_CASE_CHANGE_TEMPLATE_RECORD_TYPE_ID | The case record type ID for a change case template. This will be the different for different orgs. | | SF_CHANGE_CASE_CONFIGURATION_ITEM | Full path from the configuration item, ex: Salesforce.SF_Off_Core.DeveloperTools.NPM. |

  -l, --location=<value>        url of the source control location
  -o, --target-org=<value>      (required) For testing, you can supply a username/alias.  It will also parse the org
