Will it be possible to sf project deploy start to deploy without source tracking

[amarek-cytiva]

Hi All,
I was trying to migrate from the previous sfdx commands to the new sf command but I've faced some serious problems.

I cannot run the
sf project deploy start
on the organization that has source tracking enabled because of conflicts.
Of course, it is possible to run sf project deploy validate but this command does not have an --ignore-warning flag.

The command that is working correctly is
sf force:source:deploy
but this command already has a warning that will be deprecated.
I do not need to be worried about the conflict which I do not care about at that time as the code base that I'm trying to deploy is the one that I want to have in the sandbox.

I suspected that the command alignment would not change the overall behavior but now it is.

I would like to know your opinion on this and maybe someone from the creator could put some more light on this one.

If a scratch org, use sf org create scratch --no-track-source if you know you don't need tracking. But it sounds like this is a sandbox.

And if you just want to override all the conflicts with your deploy, you can sf project deploy start --ignore-conflicts, right?

Thank you for the answer, that was it,
Yes, we are deploying the code to sandboxes as we do not see the benefits of using scratch orgs.
I don't know did I missed this flag before but that is exactly what was needed in order to start the process of validation.

But now there is another problem,
as in our CI process, we are reading the status asynchronously and I'm using --async flag.
However I do not see --target-org or any other flag which could be use to read the deployment status.

If I won't provide the user flag then I will get the error that job was not found

oh, then you want yesterday's release.

wow :) that was quick. Working perfectly

Note that if you have an org you'd like to disable tracking for, you can do that with the newish org enable|disable tracking commands
