This is a simple CICD pipeline setup for a salesforce project on bitbucket that we started integrated into our Salesforce development. The deployment status will be posted on to a Google chat room. The pipeline will be triggered right a commit on the branch and will push the changes on to the target org. This file contains a simple pipeline that deploys the code to the target org which is mentioned in the build.properites. Create bitbucket-pipelines.yml – This file leverages johnjvester/docker-salesforce docker image.Enable pipelines – From your project in the Bitbucket, choose settings > Pipeline Settings then enable pipelines.Now let us setup the pipeline in the bitbucket environments. The postToChat command posts a build update to a Google Chat room via webhooks. Here is the basic structure of the FocalCode. The above commands “retrieveFocalCode” and “deployFocalCode” retrieve metadata from the source org and save them in a local folder ‘FocalCode’ and deploy it to the destination org. build.xml – Contains ant commands and logic that are used to execute to retrieve and push code.Here I have created Source system details using prefix sf and the target system details using the prefix ‘sft’. build.properties – It contains static property details like salesforce instance, user account details etc.

ant-salesforce.jar – This is the Force migration tool, it can be downloaded from the URL.

Here are the details of each of the files

Next, we need to set up the ant migration tool the folder structure looks like this

Here, we do not want to customize the folder structure so the retrieved code will adhere to the standard structure. The package.xml contains all the basic metadata such as Classes, aura components, triggers, etc. To keep it simple, we have created a folder “FocalPackage” that contains the “package.xml” which defines the metadata that we need to work on during the deployment. Here we talk about setting up the CICD process for a Salesforce project using the following: In this blog, we intend to talk about migrating the code using ANT. Salesforce and several partners in the ecosystem offer several ways for a successful migration. Code migration in Salesforce development is not a straightforward process because of the multitude of artifacts that need to gracefully move from one environment to another.
