SFDT for Salesforce (VS Code)

Drive the sfdt CLI from inside VS Code. This extension is a thin, fast UI over the CLI — it does not reimplement any logic, so it stays in lockstep with whatever version of sfdt you have on your PATH.

Published to the VS Code Marketplace as sfdt.sfdt-devtools (publisher sfdt, display name "SFDT for Salesforce"). Install from the Extensions view, or: code --install-extension sfdt.sfdt-devtools. The npm workspace package is named sfdt-devtools — the Marketplace requires an unscoped name, so it is not the scoped @sfdt/... form used by the other workspaces.

Features

The SFDT activity-bar container holds three views plus a status bar:

• Commands — a grouped tree of the entire sfdt command surface (30+ commands / 50+ subcommands) across six categories: Deploy & Release, Org Health, Quality & Analysis, Documentation, Data & Scratch Orgs, and Project & Tools. Click a command to run it in a dedicated SFDT integrated terminal — live, colored, streaming output, with interactive prompts supported. Destructive commands confirm first. Right-click any command to Run, Copy the exact sfdt … invocation, or Open docs on sfdt.dev. SFDT: Run Command… is a searchable quick-pick over everything.
• Status — the active target org (alias, instance URL, connection), the git branch, an Org Health rollup, and the installed sfdt/sf versions with an "update available" hint. Use the title-bar Select Org button to switch the target org from sf org list.
• Org Health — reads the latest audit, monitor, scan, and drift snapshots and shows each check's status, summary, and findings; click a check to re-run it. All views auto-refresh when a logs/*-latest.json snapshot changes.
• Embedded dashboard — SFDT: Open Dashboard runs sfdt ui and shows the full web dashboard in an editor tab (authenticated via the CLI's launch token). Follows the editor's light/dark theme and recovers automatically from dashboard port conflicts. SFDT: Open Manifest Builder opens the same dashboard deep-linked to the changeset-style Manifest Builder page (browse metadata, tick components, preview and save package.xml / destructiveChanges.xml).
• Per-org window theming — tints the window by org type (production = red, sandbox = orange, scratch/developer = green) to prevent wrong-org mistakes. Opt-in — enable sfdt.orgColor (it writes workbench.colorCustomizations into the workspace .vscode/settings.json; disabling it removes those keys).
• Status bar — shows the active org and the worst monitor/audit status.

New here? When the sfdt CLI isn't found or the project isn't initialized, the views offer a one-click Run sfdt init and links to the install docs.

Requirements

• The sfdt CLI installed and on your PATH (npm i -g @sfdt/cli), or set sfdt.cliPath to its location.
• A Salesforce DX project initialized with sfdt init.

Settings

Development

npm install            # from the repo root (workspaces)
npm run build:vscode   # build flow-core + bundle to dist/extension.cjs
npm run test:vscode    # unit tests (vitest)

The workspace is selected by path (-w vscode) rather than by package name, so these keep working regardless of the manifest name.

Press F5 in VS Code to launch an Extension Development Host. Package a .vsix with npm run package:vscode.
