ProblemDeployingSettings error when trying to create a scratch org #323

keirbowden · 2020-02-28T14:40:26Z

Summary

Executing force:org:create fails with a ProblemDeployingSettings error

Steps To Reproduce:

Create a scratch org config file as follows:

{
  "orgName": "BrightEvent",
  "country": "GB",
  "edition": "Developer",
  "features": [
    "Communities",
    "Sites",
    "SiteDotCom"
  ],
    "settings": {
        "communitiesSettings": {
            "enableNetworksEnabled": true
        }
    }
}

Execute the command sfdx force:org:create, specifying the config file created in step 1

Expected result

Scratch org is created according to the configuration

Actual result

Error creating the org, with the following JSON output:

{
  "status": 1,
  "name": "ProblemDeployingSettings",
  "message": "Failed to deploy settings to scratch org.",
  "exitCode": 1,
  "commandName": "OrgCreateCommand",
  "stack": "ProblemDeployingSettings: Failed to deploy settings to scratch org.\n    at ALMError (/Users/Spare/.local/share/sfdx/node_modules/salesforce-alm/dist/lib/core/almError.js:50:19)\n    at settings.createDeployDir.then.catch.err (/Users/Spare/.local/share/sfdx/node_modules/salesforce-alm/dist/lib/core/scratchOrgApi.js:672:37)\nOuter stack:\n    at Function.wrap (/Users/Spare/.local/share/sfdx/node_modules/salesforce-alm/node_modules/@salesforce/core/lib/sfdxError.js:151:27)\n    at OrgCreateCommand.catch (/Users/Spare/.local/share/sfdx/node_modules/salesforce-alm/dist/ToolbeltCommand.js:246:46)",
  "warnings": []
}

or the following error, if run without the --json switch:

=== Component Failures [1]
TYPE FILE NAME PROBLEM
───── ───────────────────────────────────── ─────────────────────────────── ─────────────────────────────────────────────
Error shape/settings/OrgPreference.settings settings/OrgPreference.settings Not available for deploy for this API version

Additional information

Removing the settings property allows the scratch org to be created successfully.

I've just tried this on another machine and I'm not seeing the issue. The versions of the Salesforce CLI and the plugins are identical across both machines. I also don't understand why on the machine that breaks it complains about OrgPreferenceSettings, as I don't have any of these. Is there some configuration built in to the CLI that has somehow not been updated?

dstdia · 2020-03-02T07:49:29Z

This affects me too. It can be traced back to the enableEnhancedEmail flag, but this is current according to docs.

OscarScholten · 2020-03-02T21:07:15Z

I've run into the same issue. I've tried reinstalling the CLI, re-authenticating against the DevHub, but that did not help.

I've filed a case with through the partner portal as well, if I get any feedback there, I'll post it here too.

    }
  }
}

dstdia · 2020-03-03T11:40:48Z

Just a thought - are you both running SFDX as a node module? Or do you use the standalone (i.e. including a packaged Node.js & modules) installer? I switched to npm installation lately, and this correlates with the first occurences of this problem (but it also correlates with the spring release, so hard to identify the meaningful influences...)

keirbowden · 2020-03-03T11:43:53Z

I'm using the standalone - this started happening when I updated the CLI and plugins to the latest versions, but so far I've only seen it on one machine.

dstdia · 2020-03-03T11:55:13Z

Saves me the hassle to return to the standalone installer... thanks!

dstdia · 2020-03-05T19:18:46Z

Updated to 7.49.1, issue seems to be gone for me

keirbowden · 2020-03-06T09:41:50Z

Same thing is still happening for me on :

sfdx-cli 7.49.1
salesforcedx 48.4.1

Looks like #333 is the another flavour of this error.

clairebianchi · 2020-03-09T22:08:41Z

Thank you for reaching out. I am sending your issue to the PM for scratch orgs

adamerstelle · 2020-05-14T14:05:49Z

I just ran into this issue as well (and have reviewed #333 to see if it would help). I have a support ticket with Partner Support...will see how it goes and will post back when I'm up and running.

mnunezdm · 2020-06-22T09:45:19Z

Apparently passing the v47.0 in the api version command argument workarounds this issue, seems to be affecting v48.0

sfdx force:org:create --apiversion=47.0 -f config/project-scratch-def.json

mnunezdm · 2021-02-12T13:41:26Z

any news?

Mattue · 2021-03-16T13:27:41Z

Downgrading to --apiversion=50.0 worked for me
sfdx force:org:create --apiversion=50.0 --definitionfile config/project-scratch-def.json

Environment
GitLab shell runner with docker
CLI version sfdx-cli/7.91.0-6a6ed69ebe linux-x64 node-v14.15.4

project-scratch-def.json

{
    "orgName": "XXX",
    "edition": "Developer",
    "features": [],
    "settings": {
        "lightningExperienceSettings": {

        },
        "securitySettings": {
            "passwordPolicies": {
                "enableSetPasswordInApi": true
            }
        },
        "mobileSettings": {
            "enableS1EncryptedStoragePref2": false
        }
    }
}

dschibster · 2021-03-17T11:51:08Z

I am still not able to create a Scratch Org with settings, here's the def I used:

{
    "orgName": "Mass Action Scheduler",
    "edition": "Enterprise",
    "hasSampleData": false,
    "features": [],
    "settings": {
        "mobileSettings": {
            "enableS1EncryptedStoragePref2": false
        },
        "securitySettings": {
            "sessionSettings": {
                "lockerServiceCSP": true,
                "lockerServiceFrozenRealm": true,
                "enableClickjackNonsetupUser": false,
                "enableClickjackNonsetupUserHeaderless": false
            }
        }
    }
}

And this is the log that I received:

{
  "status": 1,
  "name": "ProblemDeployingSettings",
  "message": "Failed to deploy settings to scratch org.",
  "exitCode": 1,
  "commandName": "OrgCreateCommand",

}

Switching to api Version 50.0 did not solve the issue for me either.

Switching to 47.0 however seems to have done the trick. Something went awry in one of the higher API versions.

mnunezdm · 2021-04-23T13:01:59Z

Any news?

gollmj · 2021-04-28T14:25:21Z

Make sure you don't have restDeploy set to True. That was causing issues for me.
sfdx config:list
sfdx config:unset restDeploy

ArmandGM · 2021-05-07T13:32:11Z

Same error for me, none of the workarounds has worked for me :

The ProblemDeployingSettings error I got was linked to this known issue: https://trailblazer.salesforce.com/issues_view?id=a1p4V000001qZtWQAU

If you have multiple DX projects with varying configurations within each project's project-scratch-def.json files, the system temporary folder that the Salesforce CLI uses to define the shape of the scratch org can include definition files from previous force:org:create executions. This can lead to errors during the scratch org creation that are not present on other machines or from previous scratch org creation events.

Workaround is to locate the folder and delete it manually.

nvuillam · 2021-05-14T09:10:37Z

@chfosli any idea where I can find this temporary folder on Windows ?
I didn't find anything in local and global .sfdx folders :/

chfosli · 2021-05-14T09:33:57Z

@chfosli any idea where I can find this temporary folder on Windows ?

I found it here: C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp\shape. I just deleted the shape folder.

nvuillam · 2021-05-14T09:40:19Z

I was getting mad by just deleting C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp\shape.zip , thanks ! :)

Any idea where can find this in Linux/Ubunutu?

mnunezdm · 2021-06-28T21:06:30Z

its in /tmp folder, just deleted shape folder and shape.zip and the issue was solved

nvuillam · 2021-06-28T22:30:42Z

If you use sfdx hardis:scratch:create, shape folder & shape.zip are automatically deleted before the call to force:org:create :)

In my case issue was that enableSetPasswordInApi removed from security settings. I moved this to features and it worked.

project-scratch-def.json before

{
    "orgName": "org name",
    "edition": "Developer",
    "features": [],
    "settings": {
        "securitySettings": {
            "passwordPolicies": {
                "enableSetPasswordInApi": true
            }
        }
    }
}

project-scratch-def.json after

{
  "orgName": "org name",
  "edition": "Developer",
  "features": ["EnableSetPasswordInApi"],
  "settings": {}
}

Hi
I fix this bug doing downgrade sfdx cli from sfdx-cli/7.172.0 to sfdx-cli/7.142.1 ignore node version.

mshanemc · 2023-04-03T20:19:41Z

@CostaRonaro are you still able to reproduce this error? We've haven't seen any of the API breaks mentioned above in a while.

If so, please share your scratch org definition file?

CostaRonaro · 2023-04-03T20:45:50Z

@mshanemcbut I haven't had that problem anymore, but I haven't updated the CLI either
