Deploy All Mode about vim-force.com HOT 6 CLOSED

Do you mean deploying all files under current project as opposed to deploying only the changed ones?

If we are deploying the project to a new org then how do we specify the target SFDC Org to deploy to?

Do you have a step-by-step process of such deployment in mind? From user's point of view.

Yes, all files rather than just the changed ones.

I keep the directory that contains my ant property files in git with separate branches for different types of orgs. So I have a dev branch that contains my credentials for a dev org, a package branch with the credentials for a dev org in which a managed package is packaged, etc.

I was setting up a new dev org, and I had to run ant directly to deploy everything. It would have been nice to be able to simply call :ApexDeployAll from within vim.

A more typical example would be developing in a dev org, deploying multiple times, then switching to a packaging org (or a sandbox or production if you're not developing a managed package), and deploying everything since none of the metadata files have changed in the filesystem since your last deploy, but they've changed since you last deployed to this org.

I see. Thanks for the details.
Will look into this (unless you want to have a go yourselves of course).

Meanwhile - in order to mark some/all files in the project to be picked up by ApexDeploy you could just run touch on all *-meta.xml files.
ApexDeploy just checks modification date of "-meta.xml" and its code counterpart (.cls, .trigger, etc) to establish if that file is "modified".

Touching all of the non--meta.xml files is actually what I did first, and that reminds of another problem. I want to deploy components that don't have -meta.xml counterparts: objects, workflows, etc. The all mode should deploy everything within the src directory.

There is now :ApexDeployAll command available
Do not expect too much from it though. There are some limitations imposed by Salesforce.com Metadata API. For details see
:help ApexDeployAll
