plugin-release-management

Plugin designed to handle all tasks related to signing, releasing, and testing npm packages.

Releases

The following steps are automated for package releases

Version Bump | Prerelease | ChangeLog

This plugin will not bump your package version for you. Use https://github.com/salesforcecli/github-workflows?tab=readme-ov-file#githubrelease and conventional commit tags to manage that.

It used to.

Build

After determining the next version, the plugin builds the package using yarn build. This means that you must have a build script included in the package.json

Signing

If you pass the --sign (-s) flag into the release command, then the plugin will sign the package and verify that the signature exists in S3.

Publishing

Once the package has been built and signed it will be published to npm. The command will not exit until the new version is found on the npm registry.

Install

sfdx plugins:install release-management@x.y.z

3. Fork this repository.
4. Build the plugin locally
5. Create a topic branch in your fork. Note, this step is recommended but technically not required if contributing using a fork.
6. Edit the code in your fork.
7. Write appropriate tests for your changes. Try to achieve at least 95% code coverage on any new code. No pull request will be accepted without unit tests.
8. Sign CLA (see CLA below).

Build

To build the plugin locally, make sure to have yarn installed and run the following commands:

# Clone the repository
git clone [e-mail]:salesforcecli/plugin-release-management

# Install the dependencies and compile
yarn install
yarn build

To use your plugin, run using the local ./bin/dev or ./bin/dev.cmd file.

# Run using local run file.
./bin/dev npm

There should be no differences when running via the Salesforce CLI or using the local run file. However, it can be useful to link the plugin to do some additional testing or run your commands from anywhere on your machine.

# Link your plugin to the sfdx cli
sfdx plugins:link .
# To verify
sfdx plugins
