Dcgen

dcgen is a simple tool that generates a destructiveChanges.xml by comparing two salesforce source directories.

A typical usage example is if you use an SCM to manage your salesforce code and metadata. You can compare your repository contents against what is in a sandbox. Any element that is in you sandbox but is not on your SCM will be included in the destructiveChange.xml.

Installation

# gem install salesforce-dcgen

Usage

To get destructiveChanges.xml between two directories just run:

$ dcgen -m dir/to/scm/repo -d dir/to/sandbox/source/code

Metadata API supported:

At the moment the following metadata is supported:

ApexClass ApexPage ApexTrigger ApexComponent ApprovalProcess CustomField Group PermissionSet WorkflowRule Labels Workflow field update Layouts CustomObjects ValidationRules

More to come...

Checkout the code, at the moment is VERY easy to add more metadata
