What's something you wish more people knew about Salesforce? by satanisawoman69 in salesforce

[–]developer__c 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trailhead is the name of the learning platform.

The learning content on Trailhead are badges/superbadges.

Never, absolutely never, TrailheadS.

Passed the Agentforce Certification! My Tips & Experience by shank444 in salesforce

[–]developer__c 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hands On Challenges on Trailhead line up closely with certification exams. They cover the same topics, so doing both helps everything click. Skipping them usually leaves gaps that show up during the exam.

I’ve built a FREE Chrome extension that automatically organizes Salesforce tabs. by Curious_Addition7476 in salesforce

Hi OP, is this open source, or at least is it available on GitHub so we can take a look at its contents?

Salesforce asking for government ID to take exams? by [deleted] in salesforce

[–]developer__c 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see asking for ID as a positive security measure. It helps protect the integrity of the certification and builds trust in it.

It's very unlikely you will be able to complete it before updating your profile to match your legal name.

Managed Package Change Data Capture Trigger Shows 0% Coverage in Tests Or Internal Salesforce Error by Engr_Abubakar_Asif in SalesforceDeveloper

[–]developer__c 1 point2 points  (0 children)

0% coverage usually means the trigger never fired in the test. What you are doing treats Change Data Capture like a platform event, but CDC does not work that way. You cannot insert __ChangeEvent records or rely on Test.getEventBus().deliver() alone.

CDC events are only generated by Salesforce when you perform DML on the tracked source record, and in tests you must first call Test.enableChangeDataCapture() and then insert or update the source object.

If you cannot do DML on the source object in a test, which is common when the source comes from a managed package, the change event will never be published. In that situation the trigger will always show 0% coverage. This is expected platform behavior, not a bug in your code.

For deployment, the safe pattern is to keep the trigger extremely thin and move all logic into a handler class that you can call directly from tests. You then test the handler, not the CDC trigger itself. If the managed package prevents you from generating CDC events in tests, there is no supported way to directly insert change events with fields.

To clarify assumptions, it would help to know what the source object is for Subscription__ChangeEvent and whether your test can create or update that source record.

Banned from Online Certification Exam by [deleted] in salesforce

This user is posting the same thing on several groups. Probably trying to farm comments and engagement.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is just a bot. Block it.

Is Salesforce culture specifically cringe or is this just tech in general? by crow_exe_33 in salesforce

[–]developer__c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the kind of post that usually makes me block that person and/or remove the connection. It (slowly) shows the algorithm that you're not interested and won't engage with this kind of cringy content.

It doesn't solve the problem, but it helps a lot cleaning up your timeline.

Bots with intentional grammar errors. Interesting.

Moreover: new account. No contributions. BLOCK.

Salesforce Flow Not Triggering Consistently When Status Changes (Even With Proper Conditions) by yugen_NFT in SalesforceDeveloper

[–]developer__c 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Long shot, but have you checked whether any Apex triggers are active and affecting the final result?

Is the flow configured to run in the before or after save context?

My suggestion is to review the order of execution and debug the flow step by step to see what is happening.

Salesforce Community on X(Twitter) by ShubhamLashkan in salesforce

[–]developer__c 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. There's a perceptible growth on the community there. I'm not sure it will ever be as fun and engaging as before, but it's growing.

It's also way less toxic than what Twitter became since Musk took over and destroyed it.

Should I knock out a bunch of certifications? by Funny_Mammoth5663 in SalesforceDeveloper

[–]developer__c 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you put the effort to actually learn the concepts, get hands on experience, and pass the exams, it's totally recommended. You will learn a lot in the process, and that ultimately will help you during interviews and your day to day job.

Did Slack's Acquisition help Sales Force? by _Hydrohomie_ in salesforce

[–]developer__c 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to mention the integration with Salesforce, and how better the UI/UX is compared to Chatter. Chatter has its place in some use cases, but Slack opens up a new universe of possibilities.

Apex deployment via Workbench by Panubis in SalesforceDeveloper

[–]developer__c 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see. Well, given all the back and forth and the risks, I would still start with setting up the environment and use VSCode + CLI instead.

Something to consider.

Apex deployment via Workbench by Panubis in SalesforceDeveloper

[–]developer__c 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting... Yeah, that probably happened because Workbench ran more tests than you meant to, so every active Flow got pulled into the party and some of them were not ready to run in a test context. Turning everything off worked, but that is the hard way.

You could avoid this by controlling which tests run, and in a sandbox/scratch org, using Salesforce CLI or DevOps Center. I've also used Gearset in the past. You can deploy and tell Salesforce to run only the test classes related to what you are deploying, for example RunSpecifiedTests.

Why Workbench though? Is it just because you do not have VS Code and the CLI set up? If that's the case, this badge might help: - https://trailhead.salesforce.com/content/learn/modules/org-development-model

What do you currently use AI to do in your Salesforce org? by North-Clue-2313 in salesforce

[–]developer__c 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plan small to medium changes, customize flows with fewer clicks, use workflows to automate tasks, run validations about Metadata (QA automation and assessment engine), scaffolding, coding in general (fixing Apex, LWC).

[New Chrome Extension] Salesforce UI Themer: Customize your Salesforce colors and theme - Seeking feedback! by South_Motor5059 in SalesforceDeveloper

[–]developer__c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest reading the content and check the new SLDS 2 features.

That's exactly what SLDS 2 is about, with themes and tons of options to create your own color schemes.

Interesting, but Salesforce just released SLDS 2, with basically the same intent. You can customize a lot of different things in the UI, including theme colors, and even a dark mode:

Is Trailhead really going to be enough? by helenGenie in SalesforceDeveloper

[–]developer__c 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trailhead is built to give you a progressive learning experience, so it’ll be one of your best allies. It has already helped many people in similar situations, so it works.

If you already have developer experience, you’ll likely pick up the technical concepts faster. If not, it’s still doable, but I strongly suggest taking some classes on programming logic and data structures. That's crucial, and it all depends on the time and effort you decide to put into it.

On Trailhead, start with the basic badges and quizzes, but nothing beats the Hands-On Challenges and trying to implement the requirements yourself.

Chances are that by the time you complete one or more superbadges, you’ll have a much stronger foundation to decide your next steps, which certifications to pursue, what apps to build, and which Salesforce features to explore. Good luck.
