Hello @alexmodis

Thanks for this issue.
I'll take ownership of it and I'll do my best to find a suitable solution (maybe for christmas)

New release v4.1.1 is available 🎉

@scolladon don't know if we can reopen this one ?

Same problem.

My forceignore :

# .forceignore v2
force-app/azurePipeline/*
force-app/recycledBin/*
force-app/installedPackages/*

And the generated package.xml:

        <members>APXTConga4</members>
        <members>APXT_BPM</members>
        <members>EDQ</members>

        <members>sfadminapps</members>
        <members>sites_reporting</members>
        <name>InstalledPackage</name>
    </types>

SGD command:
sfdx sgd:source:delta -d -t HEAD -f 2020_GR1.0 -r /home/vsts/work/1/salesforce_repo -i /home/vsts/work/1/salesforce_repo/.forceignore -o output

Hi @alexmodis !

Sure, let's reopen it.
Which version of sgd are you using ?

Hi there :)

sfdx-git-delta 4.2.0

[scolladon]

Hi @alexmodis,

I tried to reproduce locally with a similar use case and it seems I cannot reproduce it, everything is working fine on my side (v4.2.0).

Maybe changing the ignore file to something like that could solve your problem (even if the way you wrote it is fine and is working on my computer) ?

# .forceignore v2
**/force-app/azurePipeline
**/force-app/recycledBin
**/force-app/installedPackages

Or maybe the installedPackages is located under another folder (force-app/main/default perhaps) ?

My first thought was maybe an issue with path context of execution. So I tried multiple ways to call the command line (with relative path and with absolut path) and multiple way to write the ignore file, without reproducing and consistently having the right result.
Could you send me privately a reproduction step with a dummy repository created for the occasion please ?

Thanks for your help
Seb

Hi @scolladon,

look like a bad copy paste on my side for installedPackages... indeed the path was wrong :'(
As the others directories was working it was obviously this!! SORRY for this one..

Thanks
