CumulusCI CI Demo

This repository contains an example of how to implement a continuous integration pipeline for a managed package project using GitHub Actions and CumulusCI.

Workflows

Overview

There are three workflows that help implement CumulusCI flow:

1. Feature Test
2. Main
3. Packaging Test

Feature Test deploys the repositories metadata to an org and runs tests against it. Main uploads metadata to a packaging org and creates a new beta release. Packaging Test installs the newly created beta version into an org and runs tests against it.

All GitHub action workflows have the same initial steps:

1. Install the Salesforce CLI (sfdx)
2. Setup Python
3. Install CumulusCI

The workflows differ in the events that trigger them, as well as, the specific CumulusCI flows that are run.

Feature Test

Where

.github/workflows/feature.yml

When

This workflow runs on all commits to any branch in the repository.

What

This workflow does two things:

1. Runs the ci_feature flow against a dev org. This flow deploys (unmanaged) metadata in the repository to an org and runs Apex tests.
2. Runs the robot task against a dev org. This task executes all robot tests located under robot/cci-ci-demo/tests/ against a qa_org.

Main

Where

.github/workflows/main.yml

When

This workflow runs after the "Feature Test" workflow completes successfully against the main branch.

What

This workflow does two things:

1. Deploys the metadata in the repository to the packaging org via the ci_master flow.
2. Uploads a managed beta release via the release_beta flow.

Both of these flows are run against the packaging org.

Packaging Test

Where

.github/workflows/package_test.yml

When

This workflow runs after a new release tag is created in GitHub. (Tags are created by the prior workflow via the release_beta flow.)

What

This workflow does one thing:

1. Runs the ci_beta flow to install the latest Beta Release (created by the prior workflow) in a beta org and run Apex tests.

Using this Template

This repository can easily be forked and used as a template for your own Salesforce managed package project.

You will need to add the following secrets to your projects repository:

1. CUMULUSCI_SERVICE_github - This is so that CumulusCI can access the GitHub API to do things like aggregate release notes, and automerge commits made to main into feature/ branches. Set this secret with the following value: {"username": "github_username", "token":"github_personal_access_token","email":"email_address"}

2. SFDX_AUTH_URL - The Sfdx Auth Url listed when running sfdx force:org:display --verbose -u <username> against your dev hub org.

3. SFDX_CLIENT_ID - The client id for your connnected app in the packaging org.

4. SFDX_HUB_KEY - Set to the private key associated with your connected app (the contents of your server.key file) in your packaging org.

You also need to set the value for the CUMULUSCI_ORG_packaging environment variable in workflows main.yml. It should have the following structure:

{
    "username": "first.last@something.com",
    "instance_url": "https://something.my.salesforce.com"
}
