BulkForceClient on nuget

[avesse]

We've got the latest version of the nuget package installed (1.3.2) but can't find the BulkForceClient in there. Is the nuget package out of date?

(Also couldn't find it with a search in the repo, so not sure what code the readme is referring to...?)

It's at the moment only a beta version: https://www.nuget.org/packages/DeveloperForce.Force/1.4.0-beta
But I don't know how to install this beta via nuget. :(

I'm in the process of writing my own BulkForceClient as well.

Seems to be unimplemented in ForceToolkitForNet at this time as their JobInfo class only contains a fraction of what the actual documentation specifies: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_asynch.meta/api_asynch/asynch_api_reference_jobinfo.htm

I'm essentially creating a class derived from ForceClient as a base class, "hiding" methods in base that I'm re-implementing using the new keyword and adding overloads to my own custom IBulkForceClient interface.

Example:

/// <summary>
/// Original JobInfo class extended to support creation of bulk upserts
/// 
/// Related:
/// - https://salesforce.stackexchange.com/a/14745
/// </summary>
[XmlRoot(Namespace = "http://www.force.com/2009/06/asyncapi/dataload",
    ElementName = "jobInfo",
    IsNullable = false)]
private class UpsertJobInfo
{
    [XmlElement(ElementName = "operation")]
    public string Operation { get; set; }

    [XmlElement(ElementName = "object")]
    public string Object { get; set; }

    [XmlElement(ElementName = "externalIdFieldName")]
    public string ExternalField { get; set; }

    [XmlElement(ElementName = "contentType")]
    public string ContentType { get; set; }

}

public async Task<JobInfoResult> CreateUpsertJobAsync(string objectName, string externalField, BulkConstants.OperationType operationType)
{
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(objectName)) throw new ArgumentNullException("objectName");

    var jobInfo = new UpsertJobInfo
    {
        ContentType = "XML",
        Object = objectName,
        ExternalField = externalField,
        Operation = operationType.Value()
    };

    return await _xmlHttpClient.HttpPostAsync<JobInfoResult>(jobInfo, "/services/async/{0}/job");
}

Will keep you posted on how it goes :)

For now at least...I'm able to create batch upsert jobs, specifying which field will be my externalIdFieldName.

The primary "enabler" for being able to create this was to expose _xmlHttpClient and _jsonHttpClient as protected in ForceClient.cs here so this new BulkForceClient class could pass it its own instance of UpsertJobInfo containing the new externalIdFieldName field.

Are we sure BulkConstants is in 1.4.0-beta? I've got that installed in my project but can't find/use BulkConstants, CreateJobAsync etc. However if I clone the latest master branch from github and reference it that way in my project i DO see it. Unfortunately for some reason when I reference the full code/branch this way my web app hangs on any Salesforce connection then so I can't use this method for now. Which is why I'm trying to find out how/if we can get BulkConstants via nuget right now or not.

If this is still an issue (see latest updates to code) please re-open with more specifics.
