sfdx sgd:source:delta --to --Dev --from --master --output . the command does not work .

Can you tell me how to use to get the difference between 2 branches

Hi @lcee-info !

Thanks for your interest on the plug-in.

Have been following the steps in the readme in order to use the plug-in ?

How can we reproduce the issue on our side ? Please détail the steps, providing information on your own environment is helpful too (npm version, nose version, sfdx version, sgd version at least)

Hi @scolladon,

I have followed the step in the readme, I can use
1.sfdx sgd:source:delta --to HEAD --from HEAD^ --output .
2.sfdx sgd:source:delta --to fbc3ade6 --from 61f235b1 --output .

With the 2 scripts, I can get the different infos in package.xml.

But I can not use the
3.sfdx sgd:source:delta --to --Dev --from --master --output . The branch name does not get any different infos back in package.xml

And Now I use the
sfdx sgd:source:delta --to HEAD --from 61f235b1 --output . Mix 1 and 2 script to solve my requirement. But every time I need to give the SHA number.

If the script sfdx sgd:source:delta --to --Dev --from --master --output . can work ,will be more convenient to solve my requirement.

And the environment info is:
npm -v 7.13.0
node -v v16.2.0
sfdx -v sfdx-cli/7.103.0 linux-x64 node-v16.2.0

I can get the sgd info , because I dont know how to get it with cmd
[root@slave ~]# sgd -v
-bash: sgd: command not found
[root@slave ~]# sgd:source:delta
-bash: sgd:source:delta: command not found
[root@slave ~]# sfdx-git-delta
-bash: sfdx-git-delta: command not found
[root@slave ~]# sfdx-git-delta -v
-bash: sfdx-git-delta: command not found
[root@slave ~]# sfdx delta
› Warning: delta is not a sfdx command.

That's all, I hope anything you can help me to solve my problem, thank you very much.

[scolladon]

Thanks for those information.

Could you try the following command :
sfdx sgd:source:delta -t Dev -f master

[lcee-info]

Hi @scolladon

It does not work with sfdx sgd:source:delta -t Dev -f master. You can see the screenshot

It worked with sfdx sgd:source:delta --to HEAD --from 61f235b1 --output . You can see the screenshot

[scolladon]

Ok, then could you try by escaping with double quote (") the parameter when they are git alias or branch name ?

sfdx sgd:source:delta -t "Dev/branch" -f "master"

Maybe the slash is not welcomed by the terminal you're using

[scolladon]

@lcee-info any information about this issue ?

@lcee-info I've used SGD for a similar use-case in GitLab, so maybe this would help you:

Assuming that you're trying to run a delta between what's in the branch of the Merge Request, and the master branch, here are the commands I was using:

  script:
    - git fetch origin "+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*"
    - export LAST_DEPLOYED_COMMIT=$(git show-ref -s master)
    - sfdx sgd:source:delta -t HEAD -f $LAST_DEPLOYED_COMMIT -r . -o .

The git fetch command is needed in GitLab in order to have access to any other branch than the one in the Merge Request.

Could you give it a try and let us know if it works better for you?

@mehdisfdc @scolladon I was facing the same issue. This worked as a charm! Thanks a ton!
