Stateless Code | Migrate from SFDX CLI version 7.x to Salesforce CLI version 2.x @StatelessCode | Uploaded December 2023 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
Maybe you've seen the deprecation warnings about the need to move from the sfdx-cli to the sf commands in the new sf CLI, and have been reluctant to rip off the Band-Aid and make the switch.
In this video we uninstall the sfdx-cli (version 7.x) and install the new version (@salesforce/cli version 2.x).
In this new version of the CLI, all the commands and most of command line arguments are are different. Commands are no longer separated by colons, and comma-separated lists are gone in favor of repeating the same argument flag multiple times. If you were a heavy sfdx CLI user like me, it's a lot of adaptation. Because of this we walk through converting an old sfdx command into a new sf command.
This video covers:
00:00:00 Introduction and overview of options to upgrade from sfdx to sf
00:01:54 Uninstall sfdx version 7.x
00:02:49 Install @salesforce/cli version 2.x (switched to latest installed version of node using nvm before installing)
00:04:40 Convert an sfdx force:source:deploy command into an sf project deploy start command and change the syntax to match the new command style
00:09:44 Discussion of the --ignore-conflicts command line argument
00:11:18 Try executing the sf command and examine the results
00:12:15 Using the Salesforce CLI sf Command Reference
