Commands

Commands

dev login [url]

Do OAuth login and associate the login information with the current project.

An optional third argument url is available, which can be only either 'test.salesforce.com' or 'login.salesforce.com'. If this argument is ommitted, the login will go to 'test.salesforce.com' by default.

dev open [alias|username]

Open the org in the default browser without using password. If the alias or username is provided, it would open the org according to the provided login information, otherwise, it would choose the alias on the project to open.

The alias or the username must have been used in the dev login at least once. More specifically, after running dev login on the project 'ctcproperty' using the username '[email protected]', the OAuth information of '[email protected]' will be saved, and 'ctcproperty' will be linked to the username '[email protected]'. In this case we can use dev open ctcproperty or dev open [email protected] to open the org on the browser. Alternatively, if we have already navigated inside the 'ctcproperty' project directory, we can save the third argument, running dev open only.

dev alias [username]

If the username is not provided, the command will list all alias with its associated username.

If a username is given, the command will replace the associated username of the alias to the given username.

dev compile <class_file> [class_files ...]

Compile the class files and deploy it to the associated org.

The command requires at least one class file name.

dev static <package> [packages ...]

Compile the static resources and deploy it to the associated org.

The command requires at least one package name.

dev lightning

Compile and deploy all lightning components and their related static resources.

dev runtest [test_classes ...]

Execute unit tests. If test_classes is provided, it will execute all test code within those classes. Otherwise, it will execute all test code in all classes.

dev query <soql_expression>

Execute an SOQL query and print the result to standard output.

To avoid some of the characters, e.g. single quote, less than sign, being parsed as bash operators, it is recommended that the soql_expression is surrounded by double quotes.

dev execute

Execute anonymous apex code from the standard input.

If the command is dev execute, it reads the user terminal input as the standard input. In this case, we can type multiple lines of apex codes, then type CTRL-D indicating the end of file to finish.

Alternatively, we can write the apex code in a file, then redirect the file to standard input of the dev execute command. Example:

dev execute < test.apex

dev data <object_name> <record_id>

Print detail of a record to standard output.

dev fields <object_name>

Print the fields of an object to standard output.
