This post is rewritten of previous post for decoding Barcode using JavaScript in Salesforce1 mobile application. Assuming you already have static resource of javascript library QuaggaJS (we need only js file from dist folder).
This code was written live on my streaming channel on 10-Jul-2015, You can find recording here.
I have not added capability for image preview like I did in previous did, but it can be easily done by referring this blog post from Peter Knolle.
Below are short videos on how to get things done in Salesforce from documentation and user interface team.
Formulas
Formulas are very powerful. They can help you to do everything from pulling informations from parent to child objects or caluclate something on basis of other field present on same record or parent record. Below are list of videos to make you more productive on formula.
While developing applications on Force.com platform using Apex, I am sure you may have been in need of debugging your code. Salesforce being cloud platform, method to debug code is very different as compared to other programming languages. In this post we will discuss all about Apex code debugging, challenges, solutions and other best practices.
How many ways to debug Apex code
This is first post of multi-series article on using Selenium with Salesforce for Automation testing. Testing has always been integral part of any software development life cycle and Salesforce has already taken it to next level by making mandatory to have 75% of code coverage before any code deployment. These apex test classes, however has its limitations where we can only test Apex code written. I have seen most of Salesforce project ending with manual testing. Audience for this series is not only developer but Salesforce admin and of course manual testers as well and please feel free to drop comment throughout this series if I left any area or topic uncleared.
What is Selenium
Selenium is a portable software testing framework for web applications. Selenium provides a record/playback tool for authoring tests without learning a test scripting language (Selenium IDE). It also provides a test domain-specific language (Selenese)[1] to write tests in a number of popular programming languages, including Java, C#, Groovy, Perl, PHP, Python and Ruby. The tests can then be run against most modern web browsers like firefox, Chrome, Internet explorer. Selenium deploys on Windows, Linux and Macintosh platforms.
This is very short video tutorial which explains how easily we can use Git to manage source code on bitbucket using Tortoisegit in almost 5 minutes.
In previous article, I have explained that how to use Jenkins to setup Continuous integration for Salesforce.
Now, once Jenkins is up and its doing its job to build Salesforce changes. Next task is to monitor build result. We already setup post deployment task by creating chatter message to notify everyone about build result, however there is one more excellent way to be aware about result and its small desktop client named “CCTray”.
You can download CCTray from here. Once installed, follow below steps to setup.
Open CCTray and navigate to settings :
As your Salesforce Organization undergoes heavy customization and frequent builds, moving changes from one Sandbox to other sandboxes starts taking longer time and effort. Also, in normal Salesforce project, there are chances that you will have minimum three sandboxes likely Developer Sandbox, QA Sandbox and UAT Sandbox. After some time you will be in need of some solution which can reduce your effort.
Almost 5 years back, when I was working on .net along with Salesforce, I posted article on Continuous Integration of ASP.net and subversion as a code management with MSBuild on code project.
This time its Salesforce using Jenkins. In this article I will walk through solution of above problem using Jenkins. Don’t forget to watch Video at end of this article, where I provided demo of everything explained in this article.
Prerequisite Software:
I am assuming you already know about below concepts:
I will suggest to get familiar with first three topics before jumping to Continuous Integration.
There are two ways to start working with Jenkins
Below diagram shows complete flow of Continuous Integration we are going to setup in this article.
For this tutorial, I will install Jenkins on my local system. To install it, Navigate to Jenkins homepage and download installer.
This Video tutorial will help on basics of LiveAgent in Salesforce. It will Explain
