DEVX — Salesforce DevOps Extension for VS Code

Automate Salesforce DevOps workflows directly from Visual Studio Code. Authenticate orgs, manage scratch orgs, deploy source, seed data, export data, and validate metadata — all without leaving your editor.

Features

• Sidebar Task Tree — View all tasks from your .devx config with run buttons and status badges
• Task Runner Panel — Interactive webview with forms to configure and execute tasks
• 16 Commands — Quick access to every Salesforce operation via the Command Palette
• Status Bar — See the currently selected org at a glance
• .devx IntelliSense — JSON schema validation and autocomplete for .devx config files
• Context Chaining — Tasks share context (e.g., auth sets the org, deploy uses it)

Getting Started

1. Install the extension
2. Open a folder containing a .devx config file (or create one via DEVX: Create .devx Config File)
3. Click the DEVX icon in the Activity Bar to see your tasks
4. Click ▶ on any task to run it

Requirements

• Salesforce CLI (sf) must be installed and available in your PATH
• Node.js 18+
• A .devx configuration file in your workspace root
