SFDX Auto Push on Save with Vim emulation

[Rob Sullivan]

Hi Scott,

I've used IC for about a year (and totally love it!!!!) and I have just started using IC for SFDX. I run OS X and use Vim emulation in IntelliJ.

For traditional/non-SFDX deployment, files are automatically deployed to the server when saving files using the :w Vim command. But for SFDX, files are not auto pushed to server using :w.

Steps to replicate:

• Modify file
• Enter Vim command ":w" to save file
• Nothing is pushed
• Press Command-S
• File is pushed

Rob, in order to provide deploy-on-save functionality reliably, IC includes its own overridden Save All action implementations. The Vim plugin likely also includes its own custom handler for :w, so unfortunately it's unlikely I'll be able to do the same thing there. That plugin would need to have some first-class extension mechanism for its custom save action. If the Vim plugin had some way to make :w use a custom action (and perhaps it does...I haven't looked yet), you could associate that with IC's custom Save All action and that would do it.

Thanks Scott,

Using Command-S is just fine!

For what it's worth, I did a little more testing:

On a traditional metadata project, if the "Override Save All action" is disabled, both Command-S and Vim :w automatically Deploy Modified Metadata. With the Override enabled, Command-S deploys and :w does not.

On a SFDX project, the only way to auto push is with Override enabled and Command-S.

Maybe SFDX projects are monitoring file status differently than traditional projects?
