[SalesForce] Don’t see option “SFDX: Push Source to Default Scratch Org” in the command palette in VS Code

In general, you can successfully grab all the metadata from an org, but there will be difficulty deploying all that metadata to another org. Often you will encounter dependencies and other issues that stop the deployment.

Try to narrow down what you are deploying, or focus on a single package. The force:source:push command has the ability to do exactly this and limit what is being deployed. See:

https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.sfdx_dev.meta/sfdx_dev/sfdx_dev_exclude_source.htm

This is by no means great, but you can force your way around this by editing the local file used to track changes.

1. create a new field in the org
2. sfdx force:source:pull -> field gets pulled into force-app/main/default
3. move the field to a separate directory (at this point sfdx thinks i've deleted the field)
4. open .sfdx/orgs/<your_scratch_org_username>/sourcePathInfos.json
5. delete any entries related to the original path
6. remind yourself that benioff is free from original sin, so all bugs are features, but you aren't so try and write some decent code

Big picture, SFDX had grand dreams of letting you organize stuff into multiple folders. But there are major bugs with the implementation, and it's been multiple years at this point and none of them are fixed. If you can just stick to one folder. If you do multiple folders, prepare to pay for it in pain.

Issues I'm aware of

• refreshing a file outside of the default folder ends up with an extra copy of the file in the default package folder and no updates to the one you intended to refresh
• if you move metadata from one package directory to another scratch org commands think you're deleting stuff
• when you pull metadata you've got no good way to control where it goes
