Cumulusci

Changes:

- The `batch_apex_wait` task can now wait for chained batch jobs, i.e.
when one job starts another job of the same class.
- The metadata ETL tasks that were added in cumulusci 3.7.0 have been
refactored to use a new library,
`cumulusci.utils.xml.metadata_tree`, which streamlines building
Salesforce Metadata XML in Python. If you got an early start writing
custom tasks using the metadata ETL task framework, you may need to
adjust them to work with this library instead of lxml.

Issues closed:

- Adjusted the `run_tests` task to avoid an error due to not being
able to access the symbol table for managed Apex classes in Spring
'20. Due to this limitation, CumulusCI now will not attempt to
retry class-level concurrency failures when running Apex unit tests
in a managed package. Such failures will be logged but will not
cause a build failure.
- Corrected a bug in storing preflight check results for MetaDeploy
when multiple tasks have the same path.

Changes:

- Added a framework for building tasks that extract, transform, and
load metadata from a Salesforce org. The initial set of tasks
include:
- `add_standard_value_set_entries` to add entries to a
StandardValueSet.
- `add_page_layout_related_lists` to add Related Lists to a Page
Layout.
- `add_permission_set_perms` to add field permissions and Apex
class accesses to a Permission Set.
- `set_organization_wide_defaults` to set the Organization-Wide
Defaults for one or more objects and wait for the operation to
complete.
- Added a new task `insert_record` to insert a single sObject record
via the REST API.
- The `update_admin_profile` task now accepts a `profile_name` option,
which defaults to Admin. This allows the task to be used to update
other Profiles. (The task class has been renamed to UpdateProfile,
but can still be used with the old name.)
- Updated to use Metadata API version 48.0 as the default for new
projects.
- Robot Framework: Improved documentation for the API keywords in the
Salesforce keyword library.

Issues closed:

- Fixed the `cci error info` command. It was failing to load the log
from the previous command.
- Fixed a bug where some error messages were not displayed correctly.
- Adjusted the Salesforce Robot Framework keyword library for better
stability in Chrome 80.
- Fixed a bug where using SFDXOrgTask to run an sfdx command on a
non-scratch org would break with "Must pass a username and/or OAuth
options when creating an AuthInfo instance."
- Fixed a bug where an error while extracting the repository of a
cross-project source could leave behind an incomplete copy of the
codebase which would then be used by future commands.

Changes:

- `cci task info` now has Command Syntax section and
improved formatting of option information.
- CumulusCI now displays a more helpful error message when it detects
a network connection issue. (1460)
- We've added the option `ignore_types` to the
[](uninstall-packaged-incremental) task to allow all
components of the specified metadata type to be ignored without
having to explicitly list each one.
- The [](FindReplace) task now accepts a list of strings for
the `file_pattern` option.
- If the [](DeleteData) task fails to delete some rows, this
is now reported as an error.
- Robot Framework: Added a new variable
`\${SELENIUM_SPEED` that is used to control the speed
at which selenium runs when the `Open Test Browser`
keyword is called.

Issues Closed:

- Fixed an issue where existing scratch orgs could sometimes not be
used in Windows.
- Fixed a regression where [flow info]{.title-ref} and [task
info]{.title-ref} commands could show an error [AttributeError:
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_service']{.title-ref}
when trying to load tasks or flows from a cross-project source.
(1529)
- Fixed an issue where certain HTTP errors while running the bulk data
tasks were not reported.

Changes:

- There is a new top level [cci error]{.title-ref} command for
interacting with errors in CumulusCI
- [cci gist]{.title-ref} is now [cci error gist]{.title-ref}
- [cci error info]{.title-ref} displays the last 30 lines of a
stacktrace from the previous [cci]{.title-ref} command run (if
present).
- Changed the prompt users receive when encountering errors in
[cci]{.title-ref}.

Issues Closed:

- Robot Framework: Reverted a change to the
[select_record_type]{.title-ref} keyword in the Salesforce library
to work in both Winter '20 and Spring '20

- Added new features for running Python code (in a file or string)
without bringing up an interactive shell. You can now use
[--python]{.title-ref} and [--script]{.title-ref} arguments for
the [cci shell]{.title-ref} and [cci org shell]{.title-ref}
commands.
- Added support for up to two optional parameters in Apex anonymous
via token substitution.
- The [EnsureRecordTypes]{.title-ref} class is now exposed as
[](ensure-record-types) and correctly supports the Case,
Lead, and Solution sObjects (in addition to other standard objects).
- Fixed a bug where the github_parent_pr_notes was attempting to post
comments on issues related to child pull request change notes.
- Fixed various Robot keyword issues that have been reported for
Spring '20.

Issues closed:

- Fixed an issue where errors running the [cci gist]{.title-ref}
command prompt the user to use the [cci gist]{.title-ref} command.
- Removed reference to [os.uname()]{.title-ref} so that [cci
gist]{.title-ref} works on Windows.
- Fixed an issue where the [](dx-pull) task causes an
infinite loop to occur on Windows.
