Problems with deploying a brand new Custom Object

[Marcel Pękacki]

Hi,

I’ve updated my Git repository (project uses old package.xml model) with newest changes. There is a new Custom Object src/objects/MyObj__c.object. When I try to deploy it using Deploy All Metadata and Custom scope I get an error:

objects/MyObj__c.object: ERROR at line 1, column 1 - MyObj__c does not exist or is not a valid override for action Edit.

The same error appears if I try to use Force Save function.

Of course the object does not exist in my sandbox, I want to create it in the first place.

I’m sure that in the past I could deploy new objects with no problem in such a way.

The object is included in package.xml section for CustomObject.

Can you please enable debug logging for metadata deployment, reproduce the issue, and either attach or email the resulting idea.log using Help>Show Log in Explorer/Finder/Files?

Thanks for the super quick reply! I did as you asked and it helped me to realize that the error actually comes from Salesforce (I can see it in Deployment Status), not Illuminated Cloud. I actually made a mistake in the bug report - the message said “MyObj does not exist or…” and MyObj is the name of the page that overrides the Edit action So this is purely a completely normal Salesforce metadata issue. I’m closing the ticket, sorry for the false alarm.

Hah! No problem. That's actually why I ask for logs immediately. Sometimes they unveil easy answers. I'm glad this was just such a case. Take care!
