Summary
I am trying to use the beta for the decomposed metadata types, and running into another issue. I was able to reproduce it in a couple different orgs.
I am trying to deploy a CustomField and a WorkflowFieldUpdate for the Lead object at the same time. I see this error: Error parsing file: Element {http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata}fieldUpdates invalid at this location in type CustomObject.
If the CustomField isn't present in the package.xml, then the workflow deploys successfully.
Steps To Reproduce
- Setup a SFDX project that has enabled
decomposeWorkflowBeta - Create a new Custom Field on the Lead (or any object as far as I know)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CustomField xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
<fullName>NewLeadField__c</fullName>
<externalId>false</externalId>
<label>NewLeadField</label>
<length>255</length>
<required>false</required>
<trackFeedHistory>false</trackFeedHistory>
<type>Text</type>
<unique>false</unique>
</CustomField>
- Create a new WorkflowFieldUpdate for the Lead object - I also tested this with a WorkflowAlert and a WorkflowOutboundMessage with the same result
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<WorkflowFieldUpdate xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
<fullName>UpdateNewFieldOnLead</fullName>
<field>NewLeadField__c</field>
<name>UpdateNewFieldOnLead</name>
<notifyAssignee>false</notifyAssignee>
<operation>Null</operation>
<protected>false</protected>
<reevaluateOnChange>false</reevaluateOnChange>
</WorkflowFieldUpdate>
- Create a package.xml file with both of the components
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
<types>
<members>Lead.NewLeadField__c</members>
<name>CustomField</name>
</types>
<types>
<members>Lead.UpdateNewFieldOnLead</members>
<name>WorkflowFieldUpdate</name>
</types>
<version>64.0</version>
</Package>- Validate the package:
sf project deploy validate -x manifest/package.xml -w 30
Expected result
The workflow and field should deploy successfully
Actual result
Error: Error parsing file: Element {http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata}fieldUpdates invalid at this location in type CustomObject
