LWC from non scratch org

[ol...@olegforce.com]

I see there is an option to create LWC in non scratch org, but I don't see option to push that folder to server. Is working with LWC in non scratch org supported in IC?

 I was just about to ask this same question. I created a LWC and wanted to test it but was unable to deploy it to my Dev Org?

John, the target org must have LWC support enabled. At present, this is limited to scratch orgs created Spring '19 pre-release orgs enabled as dev hubs and Spring '19 orgs that have been explicitly enabled by Salesforce support. I have only tested against the former. Here's Salesforce's documentation on getting started with LWC right now:

https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/component-library/documentation/lwc/lwc.install_setup_develop

and for the most part, that applies equally for IC except for the dev tools portion where you'd just install the latest build of IC.

FYI, I developed/tested support for LWC against non-scratch orgs by creating a scratch org as described above, adding another user to the scratch org with a password and security token, and creating an IC connection as that user. Technically it was still against a scratch org, but using it as if it were a DE org or similar.

I hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Scott

Yes, that helps a lot. Thanks!

Q: IC isn't affected by this is it? On Oct. 12th, 2019 we will no longer provide support or updates of any kind to the Force.com IDE.

That's correct, Sarah. That comment applies specifically to Salesforce's Force.com IDE and Force.com IDE 2 plugins for Eclipse, not to any other IDE for Salesforce development.
