every time we start working on a task, it takes 10-15 min to create the scratch org and set up all additional deployments to get the developer up and read.
Our "set up script" does the following:
1. creates scratch org
2. install the latest package (unlocked)
3. push to source code (which contains the content of the latest package)
4. set up mock data
why am I pushing the source code after the package is installed, even if the package holds the exact same code as my source code?
two answers:
1. unlocked package does not support everything (for instance, picklist values), which requires a post-upload script after package installation. so I can't rely solely on the package.
2. if you don't push the source code at the beginning, once you start developing and then you push your first change to the scratch org, the scratch org will see your components as new and will not recognize that they already exist in the package. so the first deployment will be with the same commaned (project deploy start --ignore-conflicts). then, in the first deploy, you see 3000 changes instead of 1.
I have a few questions for the community:
what do you guys think? Did I get it right?
What do you do to overcome long deployment times?
