Module-to-SF-connection link is lost after (un)loading the module

[Hrvoje]

Hi,

The structure of my Salesforce project in Intellij is:

- one container Intellij project created as an "empty project"

- added one module per Salesforce org, that is connected to one Salesforce connection (dev, test, ..., production)

With this approach I can easily switch to DEV/TEST/PROD org/environment by just using the Load/Undload Modules... option in Intellij.

Once I need to develop something on DEV, I enable DEV module, if there is a need to check something on TEST, I additionally enable TEST module, and usually disable the DEV module to free some system resource (mostly RAM).

It usually worked just fine, but I recently noticed that, once I disable the module, the related Salesforce connection is no longer linked to it once I reenable module.

This required an additional effort to manually set the desired SF connection each time the module is re-enabled.

Can you please try to check what happens with module and SF connection once module is disabled?

Hi. That's probably not going to be a good option for switching connections in what is fundamentally the same project. I would generally recommend using a single-module project (assuming that the project contents make sense as a single module, and based your description, it sounds like they do) and either per-connection branches with the IDE config files checked into version control or just switching connections as-needed. Trying to have multiple modules like that is probably going to result in any number of ambiguities, conflicts, etc.

Please let me know if that doesn't make sense.
