Does sfdx-git-delta add tests for classes that were not changed, but dependent on the changes?

[jasstsg]

This tool looks awesome and my team is considering using in our project in the future, but I'm wondering if the automatic generation of the package.xml for deployment will be generated with files that are dependent on the changes?

To be more clear, the README gives the example of the following changes:
(added) TriggerHandler
(added) TriggerHandler_Test
(modified) TestDataFactory
(deleted) AnotherTriggerFramework

And says that sf sgd source delta would then produce the appropriate package.xml and destructiveChanges.xml files.

However if there were other classes or flows that we did not change directly, but use one of these changed entities, would they also be included in the package.xml so that the CI would run those tests as well (to ensure no unexpected breaking changes)? If not with that sf sgd source delta command alone, is there another command that this plugin has that could do something like this?

Thanks!

Hi @jasstsg

If you want specific metadata to be included as well when generating the incremental package you can use the parameters --include and --include-destructive.

If you are looking for other tool to help with the generation of the apex class test to run you can look in the Complementary Plugins section.

IMHO if you want to run the test class related to a package to deploy, and only the classes has changed but not the test classes, then you don't need to include the tests classes as well in the package as they should be already present in you CI sandbox.
In this case you just need to deduce what test to run and you could pick the complementary plugin that best suit your use case.
Also you could consider the new RunRelevantTests test level

Thanks! I wasn't aware of RunRelevantTests, I think that might be what I need. If not I'll check out the other resource you shared. Appreciate you responding so quick! :)
