Salesforce Diff

This extension allows you to diff metadata against a Salesforce org.

NOTE: Still in very early stages! Please be patient and help by submitting issues (or better yet, PR's!)

Features

• Uses the default SFDX connect for the project
• Supports all metadata¹
• Ability to select an org to diff with

Requirements

• You must have SFDX CLI installed
• For non-apex metadata types, you must be working out of a salesforce-dx project.

Usage

Whenever a cls or *-meta.xml file is open, you'll see an the "SF Diff" icon in the upper left.

Clicking this will diff the file against the projects default org. If you alt/option + click, you can select the org to diff against.

You can also run either command directly from the pallet:

• SF DIFF: Current Org
• SF DIFF: Select an Org

Known Issues

• Likely issues around multiple namespaces
• non-apex metadata types is experimental. Might not work outside "default" sfdx packageDirectory. Hasn't been tested for all MD types.

Footnotes

1. Still somewhat untested. To diff non-apex, you must run command SF Diff: Diff with Default Org from command pallet. ↩
