View debug log info for change set validation/deployment

Developer Tools

After the deployment/validation it would be great to get a downloadable log like when we run Apex test classes in the UI. If not, atleast let admins enable debug logs under monitoring for the user performing the deployment

Is there a solution to view debug info for change set validation deployment?

I tried the one suggested approach in this thread, by going to the developer console. The logs are getting created but not with any debug info. I have the highest level debug set (SFDC_DEVconsole)

Any help would be appreciated. I'm trying to deploy a change set where the unit tests are failing during change set deployment. Cannot troubleshoot further without the logs

This would be extremely helpful for those scenarios when a test passes in all sandboxes but then fails only in production.

I'm a huge fan of the platform, but this is seriously the dumbest thing I've encountered so far! You have to deploy something broken in order to get a debug log to figure out why. Unacceptable!!! Team has wasted countless hours on this.

Would be really beneficial. I've re-written a test clas twice which passes with 100% in Sandobx but simply gives 0% code coverage when deploying to Production - so frustrating trying to isolate the issue.

I have a change set with a class that fails on deployment - only on deployment. It contains no queries, no dml, has no dependencies, it is essentially "does 1 = 1". On deployment it says no.

Deploying into a new sandbox fails too. But the tests run in the new sandbox pass. If only there was a viable way of testing what is happening...

I found that setting a debug log for "Automated Processes" and then running a validation on a change set DOES yield debug logs! Many of them - and change sets can be large. So the max debug log size is exceeded almost every time. Automated Processes debug logging can be a start - but it would be REALLY nice to have something configurable for change set debugging.

This would be tremendously useful especially when building managed packages using Salesforce DX and scratch orgs. A test may pass in the scratch org but fail to deploy to the DE org where the managed package resides due to namespace differences between the two orgs.

Would be beneficial to isolate the problem. +1

Thank you indeed Eric for this tip. This helped me a lot.

Some detail for followers on step 2 :
In Developper Console go to Debug/Change log level :
“General trace settings for you” > change > choose the level and start/end dates.

This feature actually exists but in an indirect way.

Use Validate on the Changeset deployment
Turn debugging on for you in the Developer Console
Select in the Deployment options - Run Specified Tests - name your test class
Validate

All logs for that test class by method will apper in the DC Log panel

This feature is already there, however, for my organization, I have to drill down through 3 pages of empty Visualforce page empty log entries and then in the 4th page you will see a huge file with the expected log entries. What Salesforce really needs to add is more way to filter the logs, so we don't get multiple pages of irrelevant logs.

Could not agree more. If a deployment fails to validate, it's basically a black box. Very difficult to troubleshoot.
