I used to have a script

      wget https://developer.salesforce.com/media/salesforce-cli/sfdx-linux-amd64.tar.xz
      mkdir sfdx-cli
      tar xJf sfdx-linux-amd64.tar.xz -C sfdx-cli --strip-components 1
      ./sfdx-cli/install
      sfdx update

in my github actions to install sfdx cli before any other steps or actions, it was broken today and stopped working.

When I tried to update the script to the following version

wget https://developer.salesforce.com/media/salesforce-cli/sfdx/channels/stable/sfdx-linux-x64.tar.xz
mkdir ~/sfdx
tar xJf sfdx-linux-x64.tar.xz -C ~/sfdx --strip-components 1
export PATH=~/sfdx/bin:$PATH
sfdx update

it still doesn't work because the calling sfdx from the other steps produces an error

line 1: sfdx: command not found

Is there a fix or workaround for that?

Looks like there is an easy solution for this:

node --version
npm install sfdx-cli --global

looks like node is already installed in Github Actions servers.

You may also want to leverage the official SFDX Docker image in your GitHub Action as well.

Here is my sample GitHub Action file:

https://github.com/banderson5144/funcondemo/blob/master/.github/workflows/sfdxvalidate.yml#L18

And here is the link to the official SFDX Docker Image:

https://hub.docker.com/r/salesforce/salesforcedx

  • this is really interesting option, however, when I try to use it, the following preexisting command now fails: limits=$(sfdx force:limits:api:display -u devhub | awk '$1 ~ /ScratchOrg/ { print }') limits=$(sfdx force:limits:api:display -u devhub | awk '$1 ~ /ScratchOrg/ { print }') echo $limits limits="${limits//'%'/'%25'}" limits="${limits//$'\n'/'%0A'}" limits="${limits//$'\r'/'%0D'}" echo "::set-output name=limits::$limits" : Bad substitution

  • for some strange reason some commands like git rev-parse HEAD started failing with 128 and I don't understand why This started after switching to docker image

  • SFDX docker image has obsolete git version 2.17.1
