Cli: It is not possible to pull or push lightning email template folders

[vincebhh]

Summary

It is not possible to pull or push lightning email template folders.

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Create a new scratch org.
2. Create a lightning email template folder named LETF.
3. Create a lightning email template named LET.
4. sfdx force:source:pull

Expected result

Three files should be created

1. LETF/LET.email
2. LETF/LET-meta.xml
3. LETF.emailFolder.xml

Actual result

The first two files are created, but no file for the email template folder is created.
When I try to push the source to a new scratch org I get the error:
Cannot find folder:LETF

Additional information

Even if I create the file
LETF.emailFolder.xml
with the content
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <EmailFolder xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata"> <accessType>PublicInternal</accessType> <name>LETF</name> <publicFolderAccess>ReadWrite</publicFolderAccess> </EmailFolder>

I get the error message:
To create an email template, specify a folder with the type EmailTemplate.

But I have no idea how that could be done.

@vincebhh we are unable to reproduce this issue. I am not super familiar with lightning email templates and folders. Would you please give us a little more detail around how you created these in the Scratch org? Did you enable this is the scratch org:

or did you have that already set in your scratch definition file?

@clairebianchi I have the same issue now with sfdx-cli/7.54.4-8ff9ba9cc5
It looks like it's not possible to enable "Folders and Enhanced Sharing" through the scratch org definition file that causes that issue.

I believe what @vincebhh is talking about is Classic Email Template folders. I have successfully pulled some email templates that are in a folder, however when I try to push them to a scratch org, it errors out saying "Cannot find folder:"

It appears that SFDX doesn't allow for pushing new Classic Email Template folders. Any thoughts @clairebianchi?

@shocks13 there is no issue with Classic Email Templates. All Email template folders and templates can be retrieved and deployed using sfdx cli. But when I create a Folder for Lightning Email Templates this folder is not retrieved by the cli. And if I create meta file manually they still can't be deployed.

@shocks13 - I had the same issue, was able to resolve it by manually creating the emailFolder metadata record. So under the email folder in SFDX project, I created a new XML file with details about my email folder. For example:

Folder Name is Samples.
Create Samples.emailFolder-meta.xml with the following xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <EmailFolder xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata"> <accessType>PublicInternal</accessType> <name>Samples</name> <publicFolderAccess>ReadWrite</publicFolderAccess> </EmailFolder>

Thank you @Jkenney94 - this worked for me
