Research direction

Start with the sf project deploy report and sf project deploy resume paths in the @salesforce/plugin-deploy-retrieve plugin, using the provided package.xml and command sequence. Compare the JSON produced in the Docker runner with the working resume result and local report result. Done means dry-run-result.json retains the column, line, numExecutions, and time fields inside each locationsNotCovered object.

Description

investigating stale validated
Summary

I'm trying to get uncovered lines of code from a "validate" job result.

Running the same commands on my machine works like a charm but running them from the docker runner on the server doesn't.

Steps To Reproduce
  • Make a package.xml with at least one meta to deploy (doesn't matter which one)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <types>
        <members>*</members>
        <name>ApexPage</name>
    </types>
    <version>63.0</version>
</Package>
  • Run a validation with sf project deploy validate -x ./package.xml --json -g --async -l RunLocalTests > ./dry-run-id.json
  • Run sf project deploy resume -i JOB_ID --json > ./validate-resume.json (replace JOB_ID by the deployment id)
  • Get the result with sf project deploy report -i JOB_ID --json > ./dry-run-result.json (replace JOB_ID by the deployment id)

Check validate-resume.json and dry-run-result.json file. They should both contains test results with uncovered lines.

Expected result

Example part of the file about codeCoverage, especially the locationsNotCovered section.

{
    "id": "some_sf_id",
    "locationsNotCovered": [
        {
            "column": 0,
            "line": 11,
            "numExecutions": 0,
            "time": -1
        },
        {
            "column": 0,
            "line": 26,
            "numExecutions": 0,
            "time": -1
        }
    ],
    "name": "some_trigger",
    "namespace": null,
    "numLocations": 15,
    "numLocationsNotCovered": 2,
    "type": "Trigger"
},
Actual result

In the dry-run-result.json file all locationsNotCovered sections are broken like that (validate-resume.json is fine)

{
    "id": "some_sf_id",
    "locationsNotCovered": [
        {},
        {}
    ],
    "name": "some_trigger",
    "namespace": null,
    "numLocations": 15,
    "numLocationsNotCovered": 2,
    "type": "Trigger"
},
Additional information

I tried to reproduce in several ways without success. It only happens inside my gitlab docker runner.

I tried :

  • locally by executing directly the commands (windows with powershell)
  • in a local docker runner using the exact same docker image (windows with docker desktop)

Running the report command locally when my gitlab job fails and using the exact same JOB_ID is giving me the correct result.

I tried to look in the source code to see if I was missing some flags but it doesn't seems to exist any that would kind of limit the depth of the JSON file.

System Information

sf doctor command result on the local docker runner (should be identical with the gitlab docker runner).
