TryForce.ax1449 Remove all classes from org using Ant
Hi
I want to remove all(say 100) classes from my org using ant. So i can not specify the name of individual class in destructiveChanges.xml file. Hence i tried to create it like below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
<types>
<members>*</members>
<name>ApexClass</name>
</types>
<version>20.0</version>
</Package>
But i am getting error "No ApexClass Named: * found"
can someone please help me on this?
Thanks in Advance!!!!
destructiveChanges.xml does not work with wildcards.
You will have to mention every single class in the file.
But I do not want to specify every class name. Is there any other method to do this?
If it is a one-off activity then you could use Force.com IDE for Eclipse.
If you need to do this regularly or can not use Force.com IDE and have to stick with Ant then:
1. use Ant "listMetadata" task to retrieve list of all classes
2. write that list in destructiveChanges.xml file - whether you just copy/paste or write a script to populate destructiveChanges.xml is up to you
