Other Notes

Need to create a recipe file in order to generate a dataset. Snowfakery assumes you already have a file created.

Create a new file in VSCode with extension of .yml.

Example Code test_account.yml: - object: Account fields: name: fake: company BillingStreet: fake: street_address BillingCity: fake: city BillingState: fake: state BillingPostalCode: fake: postalcode BillingCountry: United States ShippingCountry: United States Phone: fake: phone_number Fax: fake: phone_number Description: fake: catch_phrase NumberOfEmployees: random_number: min: 1 max: 500000

Run file locally

$ snowfakery --output-format JSON --output-file test_account.json test_account.yml

Run Script, Create Records in Salesforce

$ cci task run generate_and_load_from_yaml -o generator_yaml account.yml --org org-name-goes-here

Generate CSV file from yml

$ snowfakery test_account.yml --output-format csv
