Salesforce Deployment Workflow Examples

This file contains practical examples of common Salesforce deployment scenarios using the deploying-metadata skill.

Example 1: Basic Production Deployment

User Request:

"Deploy my changes to production with full test coverage"

Skill Execution:

  1. Pre-deployment checks

    sf org display --target-org production
sf project deploy start --dry-run --test-level RunLocalTests --target-org production --wait 30

  2. Validation output

    ✓ Deployment validation succeeded
✓ Tests passed: 145/145 (92% coverage)
✓ Components validated: 23

  3. Quick deploy (using validation ID)

    sf project deploy quick --job-id 0Af5g00000XXXXX --target-org production

  4. Final output

    ## Salesforce Deployment Report

✓ Status: Succeeded
✓ Components Deployed: 23/23
✓ Tests Passed: 145/145 (92% coverage)
✓ Duration: 8m 32s

### Deployed Components:
- ApexClass: AccountController, ContactTriggerHandler, LeadProcessor
- ApexTrigger: AccountTrigger, ContactTrigger
- LightningComponentBundle: accountCard, contactList

Example 2: Selective Component Deployment

User Request:

"Deploy only the new Lightning Web Components to sandbox"

Skill Execution:

  1. Identify LWC components

    # Find all LWC components
ls -R force-app/main/default/lwc/

  2. Deploy specific directory

    sf project deploy start \
  --source-dir force-app/main/default/lwc \
  --target-org dev-sandbox \
  --test-level NoTestRun \
  --wait 15

  3. Output

    ✓ Deployment succeeded
✓ Components Deployed:
  - accountCard (LWC)
  - contactList (LWC)
  - opportunityBoard (LWC)

Example 3: Hotfix Deployment

User Request:

"I need to deploy an urgent bug fix in AccountController to production"

Skill Execution:

  1. Verify the specific file

    cat force-app/main/default/classes/AccountController.cls

  2. Run targeted tests

    sf apex run test \
  --tests AccountControllerTest \
  --target-org production \
  --wait 5

  3. Deploy single class

    sf project deploy start \
  --source-dir force-app/main/default/classes/AccountController.cls \
  --target-org production \
  --test-level RunSpecifiedTests \
  --tests AccountControllerTest \
  --wait 10

  4. Verification

    sf project deploy report --job-id <job-id> --target-org production

Example 4: Manifest-Based Deployment

User Request:

"Deploy using the package.xml manifest for release v2.3"

Skill Execution:

  1. Read manifest file

    cat manifest/package-v2.3.xml

  2. Validate deployment

    sf project deploy start \
  --manifest manifest/package-v2.3.xml \
  --target-org production \
  --dry-run \
  --test-level RunLocalTests \
  --wait 30

  3. Quick deploy

    sf project deploy quick --job-id 0Af5g00000XXXXX --target-org production

Example 5: Scratch Org Development Workflow

User Request:

"Create a scratch org and deploy my feature branch"

Skill Execution:

  1. Create scratch org

    sf org create scratch \
  --definition-file config/project-scratch-def.json \
  --alias feature-branch-123 \
  --duration-days 7 \
  --set-default

  2. Push source

    sf project deploy start --target-org feature-branch-123

  3. Assign permission sets

    sf org assign permset --name AdminPermSet --target-org feature-branch-123

  4. Import test data

    sf data import tree --plan data/sample-data-plan.json --target-org feature-branch-123

  5. Open org

    sf org open --target-org feature-branch-123

Example 6: Deployment Rollback

User Request:

"The deployment failed, I need to rollback to the previous version"

Skill Execution:

  1. Retrieve current production metadata (if not backed up)

    sf project retrieve start \
  --manifest manifest/package-production.xml \
  --target-org production

  2. Check out previous version from git

    git checkout v2.2-stable

  3. Deploy previous version

    sf project deploy start \
  --manifest manifest/package-v2.2.xml \
  --target-org production \
  --test-level RunLocalTests \
  --wait 30

  4. Verify rollback

    sf org open --target-org production

Example 7: Destructive Changes

User Request:

"Remove the deprecated CustomObject__c and old Apex classes"

Skill Execution:

  1. Create destructiveChanges.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <types>
        <members>DeprecatedClass1</members>
        <members>DeprecatedClass2</members>
        <name>ApexClass</name>
    </types>
    <types>
        <members>CustomObject__c</members>
        <name>CustomObject</name>
    </types>
    <version>66.0</version>
</Package>

  2. Deploy with destructive changes

    sf project deploy start \
  --manifest manifest/package.xml \
  --post-destructive-changes manifest/destructiveChanges.xml \
  --target-org production \
  --test-level RunLocalTests \
  --wait 30

    Current SF CLI releases support this combined pattern correctly, including runs where the manifest deploys one set of components while a destructive changes file deletes different components in the same operation.

Example 8: Multi-Environment Deployment

User Request:

"Deploy to dev, then staging, then production after each passes validation"

Skill Execution:

  1. Deploy to Dev

    sf project deploy start --target-org dev --test-level NoTestRun --wait 10

  2. Deploy to Staging

    sf project deploy start --target-org staging --test-level RunLocalTests --wait 20

  3. Validate Production

    sf project deploy start --target-org production --dry-run --test-level RunLocalTests --wait 30

  4. Deploy to Production (after manual approval)

    sf project deploy quick --job-id <validation-job-id> --target-org production

Example 9: Code Coverage Analysis

User Request:

"Check my code coverage and identify classes that need more tests"

Skill Execution:

  1. Run all tests

    sf apex run test \
  --test-level RunLocalTests \
  --target-org dev \
  --code-coverage \
  --result-format human \
  --wait 15

  2. Analyze coverage report

    Overall Code Coverage: 87%

Classes with <75% coverage:
- LeadProcessor: 62%
- OpportunityHelper: 71%
- AccountBatchProcessor: 45%

Recommendations:
1. Add test methods for LeadProcessor.processLeads()
2. Test error handling in OpportunityHelper
3. Create comprehensive tests for AccountBatchProcessor

Example 10: Deployment Error Recovery

User Request:

"Deployment failed with 'INVALID_CROSS_REFERENCE_KEY' error"

Skill Execution:

  1. Analyze error

    Error: INVALID_CROSS_REFERENCE_KEY
Component: CustomObject__c.SomeLookupField__c
Message: Field references non-existent object

  2. Identify dependency

    grep -r "ReferencedObject__c" force-app/

  3. Solution provided

    The error indicates that SomeLookupField__c references an object
that doesn't exist in the target org.

Solutions:
1. Deploy the referenced object first
2. Include both objects in the same deployment
3. Update the field to reference a different object
4. Check if the referenced object exists: sf org list metadata --metadata-type CustomObject

  4. Deploy with dependencies

    # Include both in manifest
sf project deploy start \
  --manifest manifest/package-with-dependencies.xml \
  --target-org production

Tips for Successful Deployments

  1. Always validate first - Use --dry-run for production
  2. Monitor test execution - Watch for test failures early
  3. Check code coverage - Ensure >75% minimum
  4. Deploy incrementally - Smaller deployments are easier to troubleshoot
  5. Use version control - Tag releases for easy rollback
  6. Document changes - Keep deployment logs
  7. Test in sandbox - Never test directly in production
  8. Handle dependencies - Deploy referenced metadata first

These examples demonstrate common patterns. The deploying-metadata skill adapts to your specific use case and provides guided assistance.
