Open Flow/Class/Page in Salesforce

Issue #2056 resolved
Tony White created an issue

Not sure if it is possible, but it would be great if there was a way to jump from the IDE into Salesforce to a specific flow or Apex class or Visualforce page.

It would make it easier to be able to apply security/profile updates for Apex/VF pages or to debug a flow

    This is mostly a duplicate of #115...yes 115, as in from 2015! That was somewhat resolved via the preview-in-org for Visualforce and Aura apps, but obviously what you're requesting here is to show the metadata/record in Salesforce, no?

    Yes being able to jump the to the Flow or Process Builder would be useful at times. We have a number of them and sometimes finding the one you’re after is a pain.

    eg. We are looking for how a field is set, using the IDE we can identify the flow/process that is setting it but trying to read the metadata is not as easy as looking at the process in the builder tool.

    And being able to jump to the Apex class or Visualforce page would allow accessing the security button to fix the profile permissions for that class/page, unless you feel like implementing an interface for that 😉

    Committed new Open in Salesforce Setup action for inclusion in the next build. This action is available on the context and pull-down menus as well as via Ctrl+Alt+Shift+M (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Opt+Shift+M (Mac) and opens any single project metadata file for which a unique ID can be discerned in the Salesforce Setup UI.
