Is Developer Console going to be deprecated?












5















Since LWC was released without support in the Developer Console. Also, not intention to some kind of DX support I'm wondering is it going to die?



I google it and look for some official or unofficial information but nothing trustable is out there.



I know this forum is not for opinions and debates. But honestly, I think that Salesforce as a main cloud solution provider should give some web-based IDE.

          LWC is meant to be used in a "source of truth" model that includes a repository. This is because the unit tests are not uploaded/stored in Salesforce, so the entire LWC needs to be offline somewhere or you'd lose some of the files. The Developer Console is still supported, and has not been deprecated in any official channel that I know of. Until/unless it is announced in release notes and/or another official channel, you can presume that the Developer Console will be viable for the foreseeable future.

            There's no official mention about Developer Console being deprecated. And I wouldn't think that it's going to be deprecated anytime sooner.



            While it may not be supported for LWC specifically but it still has its place. It still proves to be a handy tool for quite a few things. And that you can always use it not only for editing Apex, VF, Lighting Aura Components, etc. but also utilize one of a very important tools for query optimization, i.e., Query Plan Tool, which is as of now available only through Developer Console.

            • In one of the developer meeting on LWC, a speaker from Salesforce told that including LWC in the developer console is in the roadmap. Not sure when it is going to be available.

            The developer console is a convenient tool that’s used daily by many Salesforce developers. You can still use it to access Apex classes, Visualforce pages and Aura bundles; however, it's not a full-blown IDE. Also, in its current form, the developer console can't provide integrated support for much of the tooling that ships with the Lightning Web Components Salesforce Extension, like ESLint.



            You'll get the best developer experience using more robust tools like VS Code and the Salesforce Extensions, or Illuminated Cloud. Your users will also benefit because these tools can help you identify and avoid common issues in your code as you write, and before you even try to deploy to development environments.



            With saying that there are many capabilities which are available in Developer console and there is no roadmap to retire this tool

              LWC is meant to be used in a "source of truth" model that includes a repository. This is because the unit tests are not uploaded/stored in Salesforce, so the entire LWC needs to be offline somewhere or you'd lose some of the files. The Developer Console is still supported, and has not been deprecated in any official channel that I know of. Until/unless it is announced in release notes and/or another official channel, you can presume that the Developer Console will be viable for the foreseeable future.
