When running a deployment with Test Level “Run Specified Tests“ and selecting a set of unit tests the deployment fails and shows a message like the screenshot attached.
This is happening to other co-workers as well. The weird part is that sometimes it works, but most of the time it does not work.
Salesforce client version
@salesforce/cli/2.39.6 win32-x64 node-v20.12.2
The workaround: Deploy the same set of metadata but instead run all unit tests. (Run Local Tests). But this doesn’t work for me because it’s a huge project and the deployment takes a lot of time.
Hi. I'm happy to help but would need to see a debug log showing why it's failing. Can you please enable debug logging for Metadata Deployment and Salesforce DX, reproduce the issue, and either attach or email the resulting idea.log for review?
Hi Scott. It’s unbelievable but so far I did not get the error again. I did what you suggested to turn on the debug logs. If the error occurs again I will post the log. Thanks!
That's what we affectionately called a "Heisenbug" because it changes behavior when observed. I'm going to resolve this as unreproducible (for the moment), but if/when you see the issue return, just reopen it with diagnostic logs attached (or emailed) and I'll dig in.
Sure! Thank you for your assistance and quick response.
Hi Scott. I sent an email with the log. Thanks!
Yep, it’s a bug left over from the recent migration from sfdx commands to sf commands where IC is still using the old command’s -r <testNames> argument instead of the new command’s --tests <testNames> argument. I’ve already committed a fix for tomorrow’s build. Thanks for getting the diagnostic info to me!
You’re the best!
Delivered in 2.3.1.2.
