I was working through the Getting Started with Salesforce DX module on trailhead and when it came time to push the Dreamhouse app up to my scratch org I got a dozen or so error messages complaining about all sorts of things.
PROJECT PATH ERROR ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── force-app/main/default/objects/Property__c/Property__c.object-meta.xml Can't specify an external sharing model for Property__c force-app/main/default/objects/Favorite__c/fields/Property__c.field-meta.xml referenceTo value of 'Property__c' does not resolve to a valid sObject type (65:13) force-app/main/default/objects/Favorite__c/listViews/All.listView-meta.xml In field: columns - no CustomField named Favorite__c.Property__c found (88:16) force-app/main/default/layouts/Broker__c-Broker Layout.layout-meta.xml In field: relatedList - no CustomField named Property__c.Broker__c found (81:19) force-app/main/default/layouts/Favorite__c-Favorite Layout.layout-meta.xml In field: field - no CustomField named Favorite__c.Property__c found (13:26)
Luckily the error messages are pretty useful. In this case it looks like the “External Sharing Model” was not turned on in my scratch org. This appears to be turned off by default.
In order to get this step to work:
-
- Log into your scratch org
sfdx force:org:open - Go to Setup
- In the Quick Search box look for Sharing Settings
- Click on Enable External Sharing Model
- Log into your scratch org
Now you can run the push command and deploy the Dreamhouse app without any issues.
Keep on trailbalazing!
