Salesforcedx-vscode: sfdx diff command failing to find source file in org

[ubjones]

Summary

The following commands work fine. I run them consistently to sync source back and forth.

• sfdx force:source:deploy --sourcepath [_local-filepath_] --json --loglevel fatal
• sfdx force:source:retrieve --sourcepath [_local-filepath_] --json --loglevel fatal

The new diff command fails with the error below

• sfdx force:source:diff --sourcepath [_local-filepath_] --json --loglevel fatal

Unexpected error while running ApexProcessor. Error: [_source-filename_] was not found in org when querying with username [_sf-user-name_]

VS Code Version: 1.40.1

SFDX CLI Version: fdx-cli/7.32.0-b30e0302f0 win32-x64 node-v10.15.3

Hi @ubjones thanks for opening this issue. The error you are getting means the file you are trying to diff does not exist in the org you are logged into or that you don't have access to it. Can you confirm the file does exist in the org and that you have access to it ?

Hi @lcampos I have been seeing exactly the same issue as described by the original author for every sfdx diff from vscode. For both classes and aura component files. I can successfully deploy and retrieve, but cannot diff. Here's an example log output showing the deploy, retrieve and diff (actual path and username replaced):

@mcrooks88 thanks for providing all that info, could you also tell me which version of the sfdx-diff plugin you're using ? You can get that info by running sfdx plugins

[mcrooks88]

@salesforce/sfdx-diff 0.0.6

[mcrooks88]

Also, I have just run sfdx plugins:update but there are no new versions of sfdx-diff available

I experience the same issue, also with @salesforce/sfdx-diff 0.0.6

Having same issue. Any status on this?

[ztaylor797]

Also having the same issue. Retrieve from package.xml works fine. Then trying to right click a .cls file > Diff File Against Org fails due to "was not found in org when querying with username".

Nov. 27, 2020. I'm still getting this error with sfdx diff in VSCode while having no problems with deploy and retrieve.
sfx diff is using the alias name instead of using the value associated with the alias, and so gives the error:

sfdx force:source:diff --sourcepath _srcfilename_ --json --loglevel fatal
Unexpected error while running XXX. Error: _base srcfilename_ was not found in org when querying with username _ALIAS_NAME_BEING_USED_HERE_

I've tried all the tips listed here, including:

• clear up aliases
• remove tools/, typings/ folders and restarting VSCode
• etc

sfdx version info:

sfdx-cli/7.81.0-7b953c80d1 darwin-x64 node-v12.18.3

Hi, any updates/ideas on this one? I am facing a similar issue.
I am new and do not know much.

I would like to work on this if someone can guide me with initial pointers.

Thanks.

Hi @abhishekmadhu - We have some improvements underway to Diff against an org. In the meantime, you can see the current documentation here: https://developer.salesforce.com/tools/vscode/en/user-guide/source-diff
