Mutliple issues with both beta and non-beta commands

[bdovh]

I have opened a SF Support ticket but it has been more than a month and I can't get exact answer from higher management. Should we use beta or non-beta commands if both of them fail?

Summary

Mutliple issues with both beta and non-beta commands

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Try to use sfdx force:package:version:create
   On the same codebase but with different package id there are different multiple errors.
   While if using sfdx force:package:beta:version:create, it is created without issues.

2. Try to use sfdx force:package:beta:install command.
   If installation fails, no clues are output to troubleshoot why install fails.

3. Try to use sfdx force:package:beta:uninstall command.
   If installation fails, no clues are output to troubleshoot why install fails.

While if using sfdx force:package:uninstall command, if there are failures, they are returned in json or other formats.

[bdovh]

Update.

Well, neither or beta or non-beta commands function properly.

Using command sfdx force:package:uninstall also fails

Uninstall Failed for the previous QA Console Package version 0.8.0.6 (0.8.0) with subscriber install id 04t5Y000001nUp0QAE from com sandbox ([email protected]) with errors null

Uninstall has been performed successfully but the command execution failed.

[peternhale]

@bdovh Could you provide the errors you are seeing, aside from the missing message.

I could also use the results of sfdx version --verbose. Thank you

[shetzel]

Should we use beta or non-beta commands if both of them fail?
I would reference this pinned post first: #1721

We want to move towards the beta commands and away from the packaging commands that are in the salesforce-alm plugin (i.e., the current "production" commands but what we refer to as deprecated and "legacy" since they will be replaced by the beta commands). An issue should be filed for the beta command(s) whenever they fail unexpectedly. If the failure is in a CI script and you can't switch to the beta command in your script then we can work on patching the legacy command(s), but we want to avoid that since those will be unmaintained when the switch from beta to production is made the first week in January 2023.

[bdovh]

I had multiple issues with beta commands as well as with salesforce-alm plugin

Regarding beta command.

These two commands fail and do not provide the correct results

sfdx force:package:beta:uninstall:report

sfdx force:package:beta:install:report

[peternhale]

@bdovh thank for your response. Could you provide the results of sfdx version --verbose as well as the errors you are getting from the beta commands.

[bdovh]

I am always using the latest version and I had to switch back to sfdx force: package :uninstall:report and sfdx force: package :install:report commands because these failures are blockers for our CI development process...

I have outlined errors above

Uninstall Failed for the previous QA Console Package version 0.8.0.6 (0.8.0) with subscriber install id 04t5Y000001nUp0QAE from com sandbox ([email protected]) with errors null

and previously there was just failures but no error messages (so either install or uninstall may actually perform successfully or fail but beta commands reported status in a wrong way and didn't specify the failure reason)

[peternhale]

@bdovh I tried to install the package QA Console with both beta and prod commands. Both produce the same error.

Encountered errors installing the package!,Installation errors: 
1) Invalid Upgrade., Details: The package you're installing depends on package 'Finalize', version '1.24'. Install package 'Finalize' in the target org before you install package 'QA Console'.

Is this the error you are seeing?

Also, if you give me the 04t Id for Finalize (I dont see the package on AppExchange), I would be happy to continue testing this.

[bdovh]

No, that's not. I was trying to uninstall it and received an error when uninstalling

[peternhale]

@bdovh So the uninstall error you are seeing is errors null, correct?

can you share the 04t ids I need to try and reproduce that error?

I need to install before I can uninstall.

[bdovh]

I had the similar error with the base package version

Uninstall Failed for the previous Finalize package version 1.25.0.56 (1.25.0 HotFix troubleshoot) with subscriber install id 04t5Y000001eUhSQAU from com sandbox ([email protected]) with errors Missing message package_uninstall_report:InProgress for locale en_US.

[bdovh]

there were several different errors:
errors null
or
error

Missing message package_uninstall_report:InProgress for locale en_US

[bdovh]

Such errors were reoccurring each time I built a new package version

[peternhale]

The error Missing message package_uninstall_report:InProgress has been fixed in salesforce-alm v 5.84.4, which will be available in this week's sfdx latest-rc. You can install the update directly to give it a try sfdx plugins:install salesforce-alm

[peternhale]

@bdovh Using these packages

• 04t5Y000001nUp0QAE - qa console
• 04t5Y000001eUgjQAE - Finalize

I was able to install each Finalize first followed by qa console into a scratch org with both beta and prod packaging commands. I was also able to uninstall each with both beta and prod commands.

I used salesforce-alm v 54.8.4 and @salesforce/plugin-packaging version 1.10.8. Both of these will be available in sfdx-cli latest-rc coming out later this week (Friday, given the holiday).

[bdovh]

are you using --json parameter and reading the status from json response?
did you try to put it into a CI?

[bdovh]

@bdovh No I did not use --json and I have not put the process into a script. Not sure how doing these would affect the results I have found.

[bdovh]

maybe it is not working when using --json attribute

[peternhale]

@bdovh Are you willing to give sfdx-cli@latest-rc a try?

[bdovh]

I already used it. However, I switched back to non-beta commands, because using beta commands breaks our workflow and blocks our development process :( We don't have capacity to constantly debug problems with CI

[peternhale]

Not asking you to use beta commands. Does 7.179.0 solve the issues you describe against the prod packaging commands?

[bdovh]

Not asking you to use beta commands. Does 7.190.0 solve the issues you describe against the prod packaging commands?

Sorry, I don't understand. Do you mean if I tried to use the sfdx force:package:version:create commands?

[RodEsp]

Heya @bdovh, I'm glad version 7.180.0 fixed your issue 😄
