Unexpected Delete Metadata and other metadata deployment not working as expected.

[Justin Julicher]

Basically I selected 1 field to delete:

‌

then got this message:

In this result:

• I don’t see the field I selected.
• It deleted the wrong stuff!

In my directory I have a manifest/package.xml file that I use that it seems to take from.

I’ll attach logs.

It seems to do a similar thing when I retrieve a single field - it retrieves a whole lot of objects in the same package.

[Scott Wells]

Justin, since it's doing the same thing on retrieve, can you please get a debug log of this behavior on retrieval? That should show me the package.xml that it's creating for that retrieval operation so that I can see how it's populated.

[Justin Julicher]

Attached log when all I selected was a new Custom Metadata type:

ApprovalChangedFields__mdt and all sub types.

[Justin Julicher]

Rollback gives a good idea of what was retrieved:

[Scott Wells]

Hey, Justin. The attached archive is empty. Do you mind providing the logs again?

[Justin Julicher]

Opps sorry.. will do.

‌

[Justin Julicher]

Now I think that is the correct log let me know if it isn’t as it was from yesterday and it had rolled over.

[Scott Wells]

Justin, I don't see any retrievals in that log. I do see a few deployments, and I can see where you added the debug logging config, but it's missing a retrieval action. Can you reproduce it again and send me all idea.log* files? If you'd prefer to email them vs. posting them here, that's fine.

[Justin Julicher]

Hi Scott

Here is a log of an instance where I selected one class file and it downloaded 600+ fields etc.

[Justin Julicher]

Here are all the extra components selected that I’m reverting.

[Scott Wells]

Justin, circling back around to some of these that I pushed out while I dealt with some other issues. Is this still happening with the latest base IDE, IC2 plugin, and Salesforce CLI versions? If so, can you please provide a new debug log? The last one attached here doesn't show the package.xml file used for retrieval, and it also has interleaved deployment and retrieval log entries which makes it a bit difficult to decipher. Thanks!

[Scott Wells]

I'm going to resolve this in hopes that the fix for #1842 also addresses the issue here. If it's still reproducible after updating to 2.1.7.3, please reopen and provide new steps to reproduce, debug logs, etc.

[Justin Julicher]

No Worries. I will check it out when I get the new version.

thanks!
