Programmatically running "Quick Deploy"

Question

After successfully completing a checkOnly deployment, is it possible to programmatically run the "Quick Deploy" action?

Example:

sfdx force:mdapi:deploy -d dist/my-pkg -w 5000 -c

I don't see anything via the metadata API, but maybe there is a less "official" way to achieve this?

Answer 1

There is --validatedeployrequestid or -q flag for force:mdapi:deploy

-q, --validateddeployrequestid=validateddeployrequestid request ID of the validated deployment to run a Quick Deploy

To run quick deploy of a recently validated package, use -q with the validated ID.

sfdx force:mdapi:deploy -q <validationRequestId> -w -1

Also in Metadata API you can use deployRecentValidation() method

Answer 2

You could script this by re-directing the validation deploy command output to a text file using "tee".

The text file would contain the Salesforce Deploy ID.

Then, you can just extract the ID from the text file using shell commands and use the ID in the -q flag for a quick deploy.
