For a fully guided walkthrough of setting up and configuring continuous integration using scratch orgs and Salesforce CLI, see the Continuous Integration Using Salesforce DX Trailhead module.

This repository shows how to successfully setup deploying to non-scratch orgs (sandbox or production) with Jenkins. We make a few assumptions in this README. Continue only if you have completed these critical configuration prerequisites.

• You know how to set up your repository with Jenkins. (Need help? See the Getting Started guide.)

• You have properly set up the JWT-based authorization flow (headless). We recommended using these steps for generating your self-signed SSL certificate.

Getting Started

1. Fork this repo in to your GitHub account using the fork link at the top of the page.

2. Clone your forked repo locally: git clone https://github.com/<git_username>/sfdx-jenkins-org.git

3. Make sure that you have the Salesforce CLI installed. Run sfdx force --help and confirm you see the command output. If you don't have it installed, you can download and install it from here.

4. Set up a custom tool in Jenkins for Salesforce CLI. Name the custom tool toolbelt and set its installation directory to the path where the sfdx executable is (for example, /usr/local/bin/sfdx).

5. Set up a JWT-based auth flow for the target orgs that you want to deploy to. This step creates a server.key file that is used in subsequent steps. (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.sfdx_dev.meta/sfdx_dev/sfdx_dev_auth_jwt_flow.htm)

6. Confirm that you can perform a JWT-based auth to the target orgs: sfdx auth:jwt:grant --clientid <your_consumer_key> --jwtkeyfile server.key --username <your_username>

   Note: For more info on setting up JWT-based auth, see Authorize an Org Using the JWT-Based Flow in the Salesforce DX Developer Guide.

7. From your JWT-based connected app on Salesforce, retrieve the generated Consumer Key.

8. Set up Jenkins global environment variables for your Salesforce Consumer Key and Username. Note that this username is the username that you use to access your Salesforce org.

   Create an environment variable named SF_CONSUMER_KEY.

   Create an environment variable named SF_USERNAME.

9. Store the generated server.key file as a Jenkins secret file using the Jenkins Admin Credentials interface. Make note of the new entry’s ID.

10. Set up Jenkins global environment variable to store the ID of the secret file you created.

    Create an environment variable named SERVER_KEY_CREDENTIALS_ID.

11. Create a Jenkins pipeline with the Jenkinsfile included in the root directory of the Git repository.

Now you're ready to go! When you commit and push a change, your change kicks off a Jenkins build.

Enjoy!
