Stateless Code | Set up a Salesforce Development Environment on Ubuntu 24.04 @StatelessCode | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
In this video, we guide you through setting up a Salesforce development environment on a new install of Ubuntu 24.04. The only things we have installed so far are Visual Studio Code, bzip2 and tar. We have other recent videos linked where we install Node.js (via NVM), VS Code, and Git, so we breeze through those steps quickly in this video.We start by installing Node. Then we install the Java 17 OpenJDK (and save the directory from the installation output so we can set it in the VS Code settings later.) After that we install Git.For the Salesforce CLI, I always use the "install via NPM" option, irrespective of which operating system I use. I find it to be easier to maintain and upgrade. After the CLI is installed, we install the Salesforce Extension Pack (including the expanded version). After the extension pack is installed we can set the Salesforcedx-vscode-apex Java: Home value in VS Code settings.We authorize our DevHub (a TrailHead developer edition) and create a scratch org and make it our default org with `sf config set`.When we try the `sf org open` command, it fails. Salesforce CLI assumes that the temporary directory being used is the system temporary directory. Ubuntu 24.04 has Firefox installed using snap. Snap sandboxing places the temp directory in the user's home directory instead. There are two ways to resolve this. You can execute `TMPDIR="$HOME/temp" sf org open [your-flags]` every time you run the sf org open command. This is tedious. The other option is that you can install a browser via apt instead of snap. Unfortunately Chromium will not work for this because the apt install uses snap. To resolve it, we install Chrome and make it the default browser. There's a privacy trade-off here. Make the decision that's best for you.After we have the ability to open our scratch org, we create a "Hello World! Taxation is theft!" Lightning Web Component with a simple Jest test. We run npm install on the SFDX project directory so that we can run our JavaScript tests and everything.Finally we deploy the component to our scratch org, create a Lightning page with a few different instances of it, and retrieve everything back to our project.This video covers:00:00:00 Introduction00:01:38 Install Node 20 (requires curl and NVM)00:03:19 Install Java 17 OpenJDK and copy the Java Home directory from the output00:05:21 Install Git and Salesforce CLI NPM package00:07:57 Install Salesforce Extension Pack (including Expanded) and configure Salesforce Java Home setting in VS Code00:11:47 Use Salesforce CLI to login to DevHub00:14:12 Create a scratch org00:18:20 Workaround issue to get `sf org open` to work, option 1 adding TMPDIR variable to beginning of command00:21:45 Alternative workaround, install Chrome via apt and set as default browser00:29:13 Create a "Hello World!
