Class is created locally but not on Salesforce (no error message)

[Fernando Machado]

Sometimes classes are not deployed to Salesforce, but the plugin creates the class locally and asks to update the metadata subscription. I am able to reproduce it doing the following:

1. Create a new Apex Trigger
2. Create a new Apex Class with the exact same name as the Apex Trigger

For some reason the class does not get created on Salesforce on this scenario.

Here is what is showed in the log:

ApexTrigger MyClass [ADD]

Fernando, is there any pattern to the classes for which this happens? Also, is there anything earlier in the log? If not, would you mind adding the following under Help>Debug Log Settings so that when it happens next time, we'll have very detailed logs?

#com.illuminatedcloud.intellij.builder.ForceComBuilder
#com.illuminatedcloud.intellij.builder.ForceComMetadataApiDeployer
#com.illuminatedcloud.intellij.builder.ForceComToolingApiDeployer

That should show us exactly what all it's doing.

To replicate it: 1) Create a trigger called trac_DemoTest 2) Create a class with the same name as the trigger: trac_DemoTest

Results: Trigger is created, but the class is not. The IDE shows the class as created, but if you log in the org, you can see that the class is not there.

[Scott Wells]

Okay, my guess is that there's some issue with the class being deployed and the Tooling API isn't reporting it on failure (or perhaps IC itself isn't reporting the failure coming back from the Tooling API). Let's try this...under Build>Illuminated Cloud>Configure Application in the Validation and Deployment tab, uncheck Prefer Tooling API for>Apex and try to create the class again. Let's see if that behaves differently. Hopefully it'll report a compilation error. If it does then that confirms that I have a bug during creation deployment of an Apex class that has errors.

[Fernando Machado]

Hmmm, it works with that unchecked. Tried 3 times. Should I keep that unchecked to prevent errors? Here's the log:

Okay, so what you've found is another example of something that exhibits different behavior in the Tooling API vs. the Metadata API. I've seen a handful of these over time. I wouldn't recommend leaving that unchecked all the time, though. The Tooling API is WAY faster than the Metadata API most of the time because it's explicitly designed for tooling/IDE-oriented usage patterns. What I would do is just know that it may occasionally be necessary to switch over if you see weird behavior like this. It's far from an ideal answer, but if it makes you feel any better, I have to work in that mode from time-to-time myself for the exact same reason...different underlying manifestations of differences between the two APIs, but ultimately it comes down to false negatives from the Tooling API.

If you can find a consistently reproducible standalone case of it happening, please send it my way and I'll use it to work with Salesforce on the root cause of the issue. There have been at least two instances in the past where we've been able to do that and the core API issues were resolved in the next seasonal release. Even if Salesforce can't/won't fix it, sometimes I can "detect" the bad state and either let the user know or work around it within IC.

Sounds good. Thank you Scott!

I'm going to resolve this for now as it's unfortunately out of my control for the most part. If you do come up with a way to reproduce it in isolation, please reopen and attach the details so that I can see whether there's anything better I can do to address the issue.
