Receiving "Error (SfError): undefinedComponentSet" for --dry-run validation runs #3336
Description
Summary
Since v2.94.6 validation runs against [UE org] sandboxes refreshed since late June (at least since 26th June but maybe before) using --dry-run param are failing with response Error (SfError): undefinedComponentSet. Discovered first on pipelines automatically using latest version and now locally on a laptop after update to test this.
Steps To Reproduce
- Run
sf project deploy start --ignore-conflicts --wait 60 --target-org envName --dry-runor even simplysf project deploy start --dry-run --target-org envName - Immediately receive error
Error (SfError): undefinedComponentSet
Expected result
The SF CLI should perform a validation run only against the target org
Actual result
Received only error of Error (SfError): undefinedComponentSet
Additional information
Works in 2.94.5 but fails in 2.94.6 onwards, and is still failing with latest release candidate. Removing --dry-run from the command in 2.94.6+ stops the error, and code is deployed to the target org. Issue seems solely related to --dry-run parameter.
For any sandboxes refreshed before end June the command works as expected. Recently refreshed sandboxes that don't work and older ones that do are all on the same Salesforce instance. To confirm, with SF CLI v2.94.5 or below there is no issue for any sandbox, but since 2.94.6 (and related PR 1372) there is for the newly refreshed boxes.
