Option to create package.xml but start with a clean slate

[René Görgens]

Hi Scott,

I’m always selecting Generate Manifest during project creation, to avoid a scenario where I end up without manifest/package.xml.

However I would like to start with an empty manifest. Do you think that could be made configurable? It would save some time not to have to edit the manifest every time. One drawback to doing that manually is that it is cached in memory and one has to manually close and reopen the project after editing package.xml to avoid getting a dialogue asking if the version on disk or the memory version should be used.

Thanks in advance.

The manifest/package.xml file is created by the CLI's force:project:create / force project create command based on the CLI's project template. I think if IC were to offer an option to change its contents, it should probably do so using a subscription editor in the new SFDX project wizard similar to what it does for the new traditional project wizard.

This is a dupe of another issue. I’ll rationalize and merge on a second pass shortly.
