"error": "--from is not a valid sha pointer: 'DEV'",

[sbsousa]

Deltas in my Azure DevOps pipeline stopped working following the release to 5.1.0 this morning. The release notes show a new feature release
verify --from and --to parameters to be valid git pointer

I am now receiving ""error": "--from is not a valid sha pointer: 'DEV'" when running the following command:

sfdx sgd:source:delta --to HEAD --from DEV --ignore .forceignore --output ./delta/ --generate-delta

I am able to run the command manually from CLI but not within the CI/CD pipeline.

I am having the same issue with a rev tag pointer.

plugin sfdx-git-delta... installed v5.1.0

Hi @jdgirald !

Thanks for raising this issue and sorry for the inconvenience here.

I think the branches are not created in the CI/CD you need to manually refer to them via the remote
Could you try in the CI/CD to specify the remote ?

$ sfdx sgd:source:delta --to "HEAD" --from "origin/DEV" --ignore .forceignore --output ./delta/ --generate-delta

I have been able to reproduce the issue with the tags locally.
It requires a fix which I'll do soon

@mehdisfdc if the root cause is not specifying the remote, lets consider improving the readme for the CI/CD use case, we had a similar issue with github action

@scolladon Confirmed working with "origin/DEV". Thank you!

Hi! New release 5.1.1 as just been shipped with the fix for the tag usage with --to and --from parameters
We also added a section to explain a little bit how to use it in CI/CD context
