What does this PR do?
Add a
reset
command that deletes resources at a destinationDescription of the Change
The
reset
command will attempt to backup the destination before deleting the resources. Both the backup and the delete respect any filtering and the resources flag.Possible Drawbacks
The drawback is inherent with the functionality. The user will have to ability to delete all resources in an org. This is mitigated in the following ways. First, the DDR check stops the script from running if the org is in a disaster state or if the org isn't a DDR org at all. The use has to manually override that check to stop it. Second, by default the reset command performs a backup.
Verification Process
Ran multiple resets of an org and was able to restore it from back up.
Additional Notes
Long term we may want to rethink the internal variable names with "source" and "destination" in them. In this specific case it gets confusing because we want to import and delete from the same datacenter, but sync-cli is very much built around the concept of moving data between a source and a destination. Renaming these might help with a future sync-cli where one or more sources are synced to one or more destinations. Imagine a large multi-org account wanting to sync dashboards from various child orgs to a single DDR R2 org.
