Datasource Exception while pushing Experience bundle to scratch org created from snapshot

[ashutrix03]

Summary

We are using Org Shape, to get all licenses from production, and Org Snapshot
We created a snapshot from a non-namespace scratch org which was created from org shape. From the snapshot we created a new namespace scratch org. We got all objects and data in this scratch. Now when we try to push Experience Bundle folder into this namespace scratch, created from a snapshot, we are getting error
We are using Code Builder to push the code into the scratch org

Error - MEP_Portal1 data.api.DataSourceException: Could not resolve fullName to ID

Steps To Reproduce

1 - Create a Org Shape
2 - Create a non namespace scratch org, we pushed objects and fields and created some data.
3 - Create a Org Snapshot from the scratch org in Step 2
4 - Create a namespace scratch org from Snapshot
5 - Try to deploy Experience Bundle in the scratch org created in Step 4. Before pushing enable "Enable ExperienceBundle Metadata API" in Digital Experience --> Settings
You will get the error "MEP_Portal1 data.api.DataSourceException: Could not resolve fullName to ID"

No one has clue what this error is about. It has been more than 1 month the case is still open with SF support and they were not even able to get anything significant from their backend logs.

Expected result

Experience bundle should get deployed

Actual result

Error - MEP_Portal1 data.api.DataSourceException: Could not resolve fullName to ID

Hi @ashutrix03 can you append --dev-debug flag to your project deploy start command, or the command where the error is thrown? that will help us narrow down where the bug is occuring

@WillieRuemmele - Did you get a chance to check the log? Do you have any update on the issue?

[WillieRuemmele]

@ashutrix03 - beginning to look now, can you please provide the version information requested. If you're not on latest please upgrade, try again, and report back

@ashutrix03 - this will take me a while to get the required orgs, metadata, etc. Can you try something for me? In step 4, create a scratch org from the snapshot, but without a namespace. I have a hunch that the ExperienceBundle in your local project requires namespace information that it doesn't have, and thus why the org can't resolve the "fullName to ID"

[ashutrix03]

@WillieRuemmele I did try creating a scratch org without namespace and I was able to deploy the community folder. The problem is unfortunately our code has namespace references in the source code hence creating a scratch org with namespace is needed.

One more thing we removed any dependency on namespace from experience bundle folder

[WillieRuemmele]

After reading quite a bit about the ExperienceBundle type, and how it inherits fullName from the default Metadata type, I think that the namespace needs to be prefixed to the EB's fullName in the package.xml

If you want, you could verify this.

1. run the deploy with SF_MDAPI_TEMP_DIR=deb, this should fail, but create a metadata-format directory that we'd modify
2. in the new deb/package.xml file change the fullName of the EB to be prefixed with your namespace as mentioned in the references above
3. run sf project deploy start --metadata-dir deb which will deploy the metadata-format directory

[ashutrix03]

After following the steps that you mentioned now I am getting these errors

Component Failures [4]

| Type Name Problem Line:Column
| ─────── ────────────────── ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── ───────────
| Error Default_MEP Portal Audience needs at least one criteria.
| Error MEP Portal In field: PicassoSite - no SiteDotCom named MEP_Portal1 found
| Error MEP_Portal In field: Name - no Network named MEP Portal found

In the package.xml I added namespace to the EB fullname

CNX_MEP__MEP_Portal1
ExperienceBundle

[WillieRuemmele]

hey @ashutrix03

I was looking at a similar GH issue around namespaces and found a workaround that might work here as well

#1803 (comment)

[ashutrix03]

@WillieRuemmele - Any update on the Work Item [W-15481620]??(https://gus.lightning.force.com/lightning/r/ADM_Work__c/a07EE00001oMsuDYAS/view)

[WillieRuemmele]

Hey @ashutrix03 - did you look at using string replacements? #1803 (comment)

[ashutrix03]

@WillieRuemmele Is this issue fixed? Just now saw you marked it as completed.

[WillieRuemmele]

@ashutrix03 - I closed it due to inactivity, have you seen my previous comments/suggestions?

[ashutrix03]

@WillieRuemmele I did. We are going to try it this week and get back to you with the observation. Do you have any update on the work order raised?

[WillieRuemmele]

Oh that sounds great - it was in waiting for 1 month, I was waiting on you to try out my suggestion. We'll absolutely reopen this issue based on your findings. If the string replacement doesn't work for you, this will involve a considerable amount of engineering effort to essentially mimic the string replacement functionality. I believe the string replacement will work, it might just have a complex/lengthy setup to get everything replaced correctly
