Hi @josme12698 !

Thanks for raising this issue and thanks for contributing in making this project better!

What is the issue ?
What is the plugin version, the os type, the git version and the yarn version ?

Hi @scolladon
I'm so sorry, I thought I had uploaded an image with the problem. There is more information.

We are having problem in our gitlab pipeline.
We have been using this plugin without any problems. But since yesterday this step in our pipeline gitlab is failing.

generate-delta-package:
stage: generate-delta-package
script:
- export CLIURL=https://developer.salesforce.com/media/salesforce-cli/sfdx-linux-amd64.tar.xz
- mkdir sfdx
- wget -qO- $CLIURL | tar xJ -C sfdx --strip-components 1
- "./sfdx/install"
- export PATH=./sfdx/$(pwd):$PATH
- echo "install SFDX-Git-Delta plugin - https://github.com/scolladon/sfdx-git-delta"
- sfdx update
- echo 'y' | sfdx plugins:install sfdx-git-delta
- git fetch origin "+refs/heads/:refs/remotes/origin/"
- if [[ $COMMIT_PACKAGE == yes ]]; then
- sfdx sgd:source:delta --to "$BRANCH_TARGET" --from $CI_COMMIT_FROM --output .
- else
- sfdx sgd:source:delta --to origin/"$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME" --from $BRANCH_TARGET --repo . --output .
- fi
- echo "--- package.xml Generated with added and modified metadata ---"
- cat package/package.xml
- echo "--- destructiveChanges.xml generated with added and modified metadata ---"
- cat destructiveChanges/destructiveChanges.xml
artifacts:
paths:
- package/package.xml
- destructiveChanges/destructiveChanges.xml

    Specifically in this script echo 'y' | sfdx plugins:install sfdx-git-delta when is running is failing indicated this.

install SFDX-Git-Delta plugin - https://github.com/scolladon/sfdx-git-delta
$ echo 'y' | sfdx plugins:install sfdx-git-delta

Just let me know if you need any additional information.

[scolladon]

Thanks for those information.

It seems the issue comes from the node version (The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version ">=14.14". Got "12.18.3").
It can come from multiple places.

• from the actual node version installed.
• from the node version coming with the cli when installed from the download url.

My suggestion would be to use node lts and to install the cli via npm (npm install -g sfdx-cli).

Do you have those information ($ uname -v ; yarn -v ; node -v ; git --version ; sfdx --version ; sfdx plugins):
Operating System: …
yarn version: …
node version: ...
git version: …
sfdx version: ...
sgd plugin version: …

I'm having the same issue installing the plugin. Can someone help? Thanks a lot!

[scolladon]

Hi @pietroz123

Sorry to ear that, could you share the exact issue you have please ?

Sometimes (I don't know why), but uninstalling sfdx and reinstalling it unblock the plugin installation.

[pietroz123]

Hi @scolladon , thanks for the quick response. The issue is the same @josme12698 had. Please see below:

sfdx plugins:install sfdx-git-delta
 ›   Warning: @salesforce/cli update available from 2.23.20 to 2.28.6.
? This plugin isn't signed by Salesforce. Only install the plugin if you trust its creator. Do you want to continue the installation?, Yes
Because you approved this plugin, you can avoid future installation confirmations by adding the plugin to the unsignedPluginAllowList.json file. For details, see https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.sfdx_setup.meta/sfdx_setup/sfdx_setup_allowlist.htm.

Ok, could you update sfdx cli and try again please ?
I want to make sure you are up to date with everything

[pietroz123]

Hi @scolladon !

I've updated sfdx and it still didn't work. But then I used sudo and the plugin was installed, but I still got warnings, I guess sudo just bypassed them. Here is the output:

Also, when executing the command to get the diff, although it worked and generated both the package and destructiveChanges folders with the correct files, I also got and warning:

sfdx sgd:source:delta --from origin/master --output "." 
(node:36056) Warning: Deprecated config name: apiVersion. Please use org-api-version instead.
(Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)
{
  "error": null,
  "output": ".",
  "success": true,
  "warnings": []
}

In conclusion, it worked but I thought I'd send you the warnings just in case. Maybe with a clean installation when I have the time the warnings will disappear.

Thanks!

[scolladon]

Thanks for the information @pietroz123
Too bad it requires you to install the plugin with sudo, maybe the sfdx cli has been installed with sudo and that's why you also need sudo to install plugins.

Thanks for the warnings as well, we have another issue to track it
