ALM is a term used to describe the lifecycle management of software applications, which includes development, maintenance, and governance. More information: Application lifecycle management (ALM) with Microsoft Power Platform.
pac pcf push: This deploys a single code component at a time to a solution specified by the --solution-unique-name parameter, or a temporary PowerAppsTools solution when no solution is specified.
Using pac solution init and msbuild to build a cdsproj solution project that has references to one or more code components. Each code component is added to the cdsproj using pac solution add-reference. A solution project can contain references to multiple code components, whereas code component projects may only contain a single code component.
You don't normally deploy a code component into Microsoft Dataverse that has been built in development mode since it's often too large to import and may result in slower runtime performance. More information: Debugging after deploying into Microsoft Dataverse.
When building a solution project (.cdsproj), you have the option to generate the output as a managed or unmanaged solution. Managed solutions are used to deploy to any environment that isn't a development environment for that solution. This includes test, UAT, SIT, and production environments. More information: Managed and unmanaged solutions.
The SolutionPackagerType is included in the .cdsproj file created by pac solution init, but initially commented out. Uncomment the section and set to Managed, Unmanaged, or Both.
When developing code components, it's recommended that you use a source code control provider such as Azure DevOps or GitHub. When committing changes using git source control, the .gitignore file provided by the pac pcf init template will ensure that some files are not added to the source control because they're either restored by npm or are generated as part of the build process:
Since the /out folder is excluded, the resulting bundle.js file (and related resources) built will not be added to the source control. When your code components are built manually or as part of an automated build pipeline, the bundle.js would be built using the latest code to ensure that all changes are included.
In addition to source controlling the pcfproj and cdsproj, SolutionPackager may be used to incrementally unpack a solution into its respective parts as a series of XML files that can be committed into source control. This has the advantage of creating a complete picture of your metadata in the human-readable format so you can track changes using pull requests or similar. Each time a change is made to the environment's solution metadata, Solution Packager is used to unpack and the changes can be viewed as a change set.
If you're combining code components with other solution elements like tables, model-driven apps, and canvas apps, you'd normally not need the cdsproj project build. Instead, you would move the built artifacts from the pcfproj into the solution package folder before repacking it for import.
When committing this folder structure to the source control, you would exclude the files marked with an asterisk (*) above, because they will be output when the pcfproj project is built for the corresponding component.
The only files that are required are the *.data.xml files since they contain metadata that describes the resources required by the packaging process. After each code component is built, the files in the out folder are copied over into the respective control folder in the SolutionPackager folders. Once the build outputs have been added, the package folders contain all the data required to repack into a Dataverse solution using SolutionPackager /action: Pack.
Code components are deployed to downstream environments using Dataverse solutions. Once deployed to your development environment, they can be deployed in the same way as other solution components. More information: Solution concepts - Power Platform.
Single solution - A single solution is created inside a Dataverse environment and then code components are added along with other solution components (such as tables, model-driven apps, or canvas apps) that in turn reference those code components. This solution can be exported and imported into downstream environments without any inter-solution dependencies. With this approach, code and environment branching become important so that you can deploy an update to one part of the solution without taking changes that are being made in another area. More information: Branch and merging strategy with Microsoft Power Platform.
Versioning lifecycle - You want to develop, deploy, and version-control your code components on a separate lifecycle to the other parts of your solution. This is a common scenario in which you have a 'fusion team,' where code components built by developers are being consumed by app makers. Typically, this would also mean that your code components would exist in a different code repository to other solution components.
Shared use - You want to share your code components between multiple environments and therefore don't want to couple your code components with any other solution components. This could be if you're an ISV or developing a code component for use by different parts of your organization that each has its own environment.
Push using PAC CLI - When the code component is ready for testing inside Dataverse, pac pcf push is used to deploy to a development environment. This creates an unmanaged solution named PowerAppsTools_namespace, where namespace is the namespace prefix of the solution provider under which you want to deploy your code component. The solution provider should already exist in the target environmentand must have the same namespace prefix as what you want to use for downstream environments.After deployment, you can add your code component to model-driven or canvas apps for testing.
Add existing code components (after PAC CLI deployment) - If you're using the single solution approach, once deployed, the code component can be added to another solution. (That solution must share the same solution publisher as used by the PowerAppsTools solution.)
Build unmanaged solution project - If you're using solution cdsproj projects, then an unmanaged solution can be built using msbuild, and then imported into your development environment.
Add existing code components (after solution project deployment) - Much in the same way as after pac pcf push, code components that are imported from a solution project build may be added to a mixed solution, provided that the same solution publisher prefix was used.
Export single solution as managed - The single mixed component solution can then be exported as managed and imported into the downstream environments. Since the code components and other solution components are deployed in the same solution, they all share the same solution and versioning strategy.
Export code component segmented solution as managed - If you're using the segmented solution approach, you can export your code component solution project as managed into downstream environments.
Build code component segmented solution as managed - If you're using segmented solutions and have no need for an unmanaged solution, you can build the solution project directly as a managed solution using msbuild /p:configuration=Release . This can then be imported into environments that need to take a dependency on its code components.
Consume segmented code component solution - Once code components are deployed via a managed segmented solution, other solutions can be built, taking a dependency on the code component solution. The dependencies on code components will be listed in the solution's MissingDependencies section of type 66. More information: Dependency tracking for solution components.
Deploy code component segmented solution before solutions that use it - When importing solutions that take dependencies on a segmented code component solution, the code component solution must be installed on the target environment before it can be imported.
If you're using the segmented code component solution project, you can build the project inside an Azure DevOps Pipeline (using Microsoft Power Platform Build Tools) or GitHub Pipeline (using GitHub Actions for Microsoft Power Platform). Each code component pcfproj folder is added to the source control (excluding the generated, out and node_modules folders), a cdsproj project is created, and each code component is referenced using pac solution add-reference before also being added to source control. The pipeline would then perform the following:
If you're using a mixed solution that contains other components in addition to code components, then this would be extracted into source control using SolutionPackager as described above. Your pipeline would then perform the following:
It's recommended that you commit your unpacked solution metadata to the source control in its unmanaged form to allow the creation of a development environment at any later stage. (If only managed solution metadata is committed, it makes it hard to create new development environments.) You have two options to do this:
When deploying an update to a code component, the version in the ControlManifest.Input.xml must at minimum have its PATCH (the last part of the version) incremented for the change to be detected. This can be done either manually by editing the version attribute directly or by using the following command to advance the PATCH version by one:
If you're using AzureDevOps, you can set your build pipeline versioning using the Build and Rev environment variables (Run (build) number - Azure Pipelines), and use PowerShell script similar to the approach described in the article Use PowerShell scripts to customize pipelines.
