On Deploy Screen when switching contexts it reverts the connection to the project connection

[Justin Julicher]

If I'm trying to deploy to a another sandbox using 'Deploy All Metadata' and I select the sandbox then I change the context it reverts the connection to the project connection.

It should keep the connection to the one selected.

Another annoying trait is that it loads all the metadata again when you change context or connection which for our large org takes in excess of 5 minutes. If I'm deploying I don't see why it has to load the metadata on those changes? If I'm deploying I want a dialog box to pop up and ask me if I want to compare what I'm deploying and then it should be smart enough to only load that specific metadata. (I know I can change this in the connection dialog but is that only for when you do a deploy on save?).

thanks

Yeah, I've run into this bug a few times as well. I'll definitely take care of it. As for it reloading metadata on switch, that would also be a bug. It should only have to load from server once then it should be able to load from cache. I'll investigate that as well. Thanks for reporting!

Okay, this is fixed and will be in the next build. I've also implemented some MAJOR performance optimizations to the deploy/retrieve dialog so that it shouldn't be even close to 5 minutes to refresh. Hopefully it'll just be a few seconds now. Since you're seeing much more egregious times, though, I'd really appreciate if it you'd provide feedback on these performance optimizations upon taking the next build to help quantify them. Thanks!

Mate your a legend! I'll let you know how it goes. thanks!

Hi Scott

The performance is definitely a lot better... probably cut down the wait by at least half I would guess (as I didn't really take any real metrics before this update) - but definitely a noticeable improvement!

thanks!

[Scott Wells]

Justin, I haven't published the new version yet. That means to me that your org was probably under duress when you saw these long times before. Hopefully the new version (which I'll publish in the next several hours) will make an even more noticeable difference! I'll comment here again when the new version is available.

Delivered in 1.8.0.9.

Justin, try the latest build and see whether it makes a difference for you. I'm hoping you see a considerable difference, but if you don't it would be good to know that as well.

[Scott Wells]

Due to an issue with the Salesforce APIs found by at least one user, I've pulled the 1.8.0.9 update temporarily.

[Scott Wells]

Re-delivered in 1.8.1.0.

Ha! Ah must be the lack of sleep I've had recently ;)

Looks like it has made an even bigger difference than I stated erroneously earlier! Great work thanks!
