How to use salesforce CLI using your forrest credentials (cool possibilities here)

[mbroadhead]

This is a script I wrote that will download LeadConvertSettings.json into my Laravel project. It authenticates to the salesforce CLI using the JWT authentication flow that I'm already using with forrest.

You could alter this script to automate many things using the salesforce CLI.

#!/bin/bash

# This is the bin directory inside my laravel project root
SCRIPT_DIR=$( cd -- "$( dirname -- "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" &> /dev/null && pwd )

# Which salesorce/cli docker image do you want? I've tested both with success
# SF_IMG=salesforce/cli:latest-full
SF_IMG=salesforce/cli:latest-slim

set -xe

# Mount our Laravel app to /app in the container so we can write files to it
cat <<'EOSCRIPT' | docker run -i -v "${SCRIPT_DIR}/..:/app" --env-file "${SCRIPT_DIR}/../.env" "${SF_IMG}" bash
PROJ_DIR="/tmp/my-sf-project"
set -xe

# Download yq for converting xml to json
wget -O /tmp/yq https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/releases/download/v4.43.1/yq_linux_amd64
echo "cfbbb9ba72c9402ef4ab9d8f843439693dfb380927921740e51706d90869c7e1  /tmp/yq" | shasum -c
chmod 755 /tmp/yq

# Login using our Forrest JWT credentials
sf org login jwt \
    --client-id "${SF_CONSUMER_KEY}" \
    --jwt-key-file "/app/storage/${SF_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH}" \
    --username "${SF_USERNAME}" \
    --instance-url "${SF_LOGIN_URL}" \
    --set-default

# Generate a new project to download our file
sf project generate --name downloader -d /tmp
cd /tmp/downloader

# Download LeadConvertSettings.LeadConvertSetting-meta.xml, convert it to JSON, and store it in our Laravel project storage
sf project retrieve start -r ./metadata --metadata=LeadConvertSettings
/tmp/yq -p xml -o json ./metadata/LeadConvertSettings/LeadConvertSettings.LeadConvertSetting-meta.xml > /app/resources/js/shared/salesforce/LeadConvertSettings.json
echo "Rewrote: resources/js/shared/salesforce/LeadConvertSettings.json"
exit
