generate-packagexml

Generate package.xml for salesforce with all metadata types. It also automatically generates members of CustomObject/Document/Report/Dashboard/EmailTemplate metadata types that cannot be specified with an asterisk.

Installation

Install Node.js and place the following files in any directory.

• generate-packagexml.js
• user_config.yaml
• app_config.yaml
• package.json
• package-lock.json

Install required libraries.

$ npm ci

Edit config file

Open user_config.yaml and edit login URL, user name, and password to match your environment.

loginUrl: "https://test.salesforce.com"
apiVersion : "56.0"
userName: "(LOGIN USER NAME)"
password: "(LOGIN PASSWORD)"

Change package.xml output path as necessary.

outputPath: "Package.xml"

If the retrieving fails because of unsupported metadata types, please add the corresponding metadata type to 'excludeMetadataType'.

excludeMetadataType:  [
  "EventRelayConfig",
  "PortalDelegablePermissionSet",
]

Usage

Execute a generate-packagexml.js with Node.js in a terminal. If there is no option, It uses the default config file. (default is "./user_config.yaml")

$ node generate-packagexml.js

When 'Done.' appears in the console, Package.xml is created.

If you want to use a non-default configuration file, specify the file with the -c option.

$ node generate-packagexml.js -c YourConfigFile.yaml

Note

• StandardValueSet members are specified in app_config.yaml. If additional members are added in future versions, please modify app_config.yaml.
