- Hello Trailblazers,
In this video, we're going to learn how we can setup vscode for salesforce development. I am going to tell you how you can setup vscode and sfdx cli from scratch, which all extensions are required and we're also going to connect with a non-scratch org and interact with that org from our IDE by using sfdx cli. I am also going to share some tips and configurations that will be useful for you whenever you're using vscode.

Not getting the command to authorise org after creating a new project.
Not I already had one other org connected with VS code before I tried to create a new project.
showing the path was critical, also just want to add there is a need to re-install the sfdx from the exe file inorder for the SFDX to show up in the command prompt. thank you again.
Maybe a window reload can help as well. Sometimes the extensions are not loaded properly and it may take time.
When I right click inside the package.xml file and choose 'Retrieve source in manifest from org', it does not retrieve any data. I also tried to execute the command '
sfdx force:source:retrieve --manifest' but it gives me an error (ERROR running force:source:retrieve: Flag --manifest expects a value). help please
Hi Fareed, I guess your package.xml path is not correct which vscode is considering. Can you try running the retrieve command yourself and specify the --manifest with the path to package.xml and see if that works ?
Hi thanks for the tutorial 🔥
Could you please make a video exclusively of how to set up Java and CLI, and the path variables ? It would be of great help.
Sure Navarun, Although it's been a while I have setup VSCode but if I remember correctly I used Java8. Will post a video on this as well once we have a couple of votes!

Yes Jaime, you're right. It's an extension. Have a look at all the cool extensions I am using here:- czcams.com/video/FAX66uqbEE0/video.html

What we have to do if we are not getting sfdx options in vs code
Hi Rahul!
Thank you for such an explanatory session.
I'm facing an issue!
When I'm trying to authorize a Dev hub.. after following the required steps..I can see a notification bar at bottom right saying "Salesforce CLI: Authorizing a Dev hub" but I'm not getting redirected to the browser to login with my org creds!
That pop remains as it is! And nothing happens further.
Please help!!
Hi Subham, Glad to know that you liked the tutorial. I got similar comments from different persons who're facing the same issue. I haven't encountered that myself but I think there is some issue with VSCode. Try updating both VSCode and sfdx. You can also try to authorize devhub from terminal sfdx auth:web:login --setdefaultdevhubusername --setalias my-hub-org to make sure the issue is in VSCode or sfdx and update that specific thing.

Hi Rahul,
I have stuck in a problem ,when authorize an org it says its successfully authorized the org .
But its not showing exit code 0. and keeps on running.
I have installed all successfully, but still not showing that exit code .
So what is the problem.
Hi, maybe it's an issue with your extension or VSCode. Try updating them once.
Hi Rahul, after installations and setup, I see lots of warnings in PROBLEMS window like "Variable does not exist: Schema.SObjectType.Opportunity" , "Field does not exist: Data_Center__c on Opportunity" even though the field is existed ion OPP. what might be the reason?

Hi Prerna, I guess your VSCode is not setup properly with Salesforce Extension Pack can you try updating/re-installing it ? Also, can you simply open your cmd and try to execute any sfdx command (Ex:- sfdx force:org:list) there to see if it works ?
I'm unable to do..this shows me in my system nodes supported only in windows 8.1..my system was windows 7 only
Hi, I don't think latest version of node is supported on win7, you may need to install an earlier version of salesforcedx cli for this, this link may help: www.gitmemory.com/issue/forcedotcom/cli/898/793129061
Thanks Rahul for precise overview. However i am facing an error if you can help to resolve -
I installed the CLI and JDK but I am still getting this error - "The salesforcedx-vscode-apex.java.home setting defined in VS Code settings points to a missing folder. For information on how to setup the Salesforce Apex extension, see Set Your Java Version".
Sine I installed Oracle Java 11 and followed these steps as mention there - Select File > Preferences > Settings (Windows or Linux) or Code > Preferences > Settings > Search for apex.
I changed the salesforcedx-vscode-apex.java.home setting to the full pathname of Java Runtime as mentioned but still that error message is recurring.
Hi Anuj,
I had the same issue and I think VSCode Salesforce Apex Extension maybe currently doesn't support Java 11. I downgraded to Java 8 and I am using JDK 1.8.0_45 and it's working fine for me. Give it a try.
I have the same issue. I downloded jdk17 but it didnt help
Hiiii
I'm unable to create project..
When entered new project name and selected a folder it's showing like
EPERM : operation not permitted,mkdir 'C: Program Files\sfdx\....'
Hi, looks like you don't have right access to the project folder, can you check the folder permissions once where sfdx is installed or you can re-install it and make sure you're not running commands as your own user.
sir do i have to choose the sandbox option or production option after authorizing an org
Hi Rohit, it depends on the environment you want to connect to. It it's sandbox (test.salesforce.com) choose sandbox. Otherwise if it's dev or production (login.salesforce.com) choose production.

Hi Mithilesh,
I guess your installation path cannot be used by sfdx, maybe there is some spaces issue in that. Can you check if you've added sfdx fo "Path" environment variable in windows and it's working fine ?

yes i installed CLI and checked it in cmd and env variable. it seems fine to me.

Nice video, could you please tell me how can we deploy code from sandbox to production by VS CODE.
Hi Raghavendra, You can do that using sfdx cli. You can fetch the data using mdapi commands from sandbox and deploy that to production. Checkout this tool:- github.com/rahulmalhotra/SFDX-Deploy-Tool it might help you in this. You just need a package.xml for deployment from source org (sandbox) to destination org (production).
@@sfdcstop hi thanks for the quick response, currently I am using ant for deployment ,could you please make a video on this, by this video you help many many people like me. May god bless you.
Will surely make a video on it. For now, I am sharing a blog written on this deploy tool showcasing examples:- www.sfdcstop.com/2019/06/sfdx-deploy-tool.html
I think it'll make it more clear for you to use this deploy tool for deployment to production :-)

Nice Tutorial, Please tell how to fetch standard and custom object, my vs code not show standard object and custom object and 1 more issue, if i change code in developer console (Salesforce) and vs code not changed automatically, Please help! , how to solve this issue.
Hi Rahul,
If you've seen the whole video, I have mentioned the custom object in package.xml which is the only thing you need to do to fetch custom objects (you can specify * in the tag inside custom object). In order to fetch standarrd objects, you need to mention the standard object name in the same custom object section itself in package.xml and that standard object will be retrieved.
Well, I don' think there is a need to use developer console if you've setup vscode but in case you do, you need to fetch the latest code in vscode using "Retrieve source in manifest from org" command that we used to fetch everything in our vscode initially. In case that's a single class, you can open that class in vscode, right click on the class code anywhere and you'll see an option like:- "fetch/retrieve this source from org" which will update that particular class. Hope that helps...!!

@SFDCStop: Your tutorials are GREAT, very clear train of thought and direct. My only complaint is that sometimes your thick accent can be very hard to understand, so sometimes be careful not to run your words together so much... Also as someone who is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced, I feel you should know that you're mispronouncing a few important words:
"alias" - pronounced ALE-EE-us. like pale, whale, kale.... then E. then US. the strong emphasis is on the 1st syllable.
"apex" - sounds like you're saying "epics" or "epochs". again strong emphasis on the "A" as the first letter/syllable, very hard "A" that rhymes with stay, play, pay, say. AYYY-pex. not ahh-pex or ehh-pex. the "A" is the strong part of the word.
Hope this helps people understand your videos a little better and you don't mind my saying, so you can help improve your tutorials. Thanks :-)
Agree, I have fixed the alias in future videos but certainly I can't do anything about this one. Will keep a note of apex as well. Thanks!
