I am trying to deploy files to a non-source tracked org with the cli deploy command as follows:

sfdx force:source:deploy -u [ORG] -p "force-app/main/default/layouts/Snapshot__mdt-Snapshot Layout.layout-meta.xml"

but am getting this error:

ERROR running force:source:deploy: The Layout named Snapshot__mdt-Snapshot Layout was not found in the workspace.

I've tried -p ''"[path/to/file]"'' and -p "\"[path/to/file]\"" and neither worked.

The file definitely exists and I am able to use the beta diff command from VSCode on this file.

So how do we include files with spaces in the name in our -p arg?

  • You need to use the " double quotes to be able to include space. Try prefixing ./ to the path like "./force-app/main/default/...". Commented Aug 10, 2020 at 15:16

    No luck. Also any other file which doesn't contain spaces deploys fine with our without ./ Commented Aug 10, 2020 at 15:18

    This is happening from friday with me, all other deployments are failing on push command. For layouts only. Commented Aug 10, 2020 at 15:59

    Key here is which OSX are you all on! Can we get OS information and versions ? Commented Aug 10, 2020 at 16:46

    I am talking about the deploy command specifically, along with the -p argument and including files with spaces in the name as part of that argument. I have no problem with any other command nor deploy for files without spaces. Commented Aug 10, 2020 at 20:11

OK I figured it out on Mac OSX. For a single file -p works as follows:

sfdx force:source:deploy -p "force-app/main/default/layouts/Snapshot__mdt-Snapshot Layout.layout-meta.xml"

However, for multiple files with your -p argument, you need to surround each filename with escaped double quotes as follows:

sfdx force:source:deploy -p """force-app/main/default/layouts/SnapshotDetail__mdt-SnapshotDetail Layout.layout-meta.xml"",""force-app/main/default/layouts/Snapshot__mdt-Snapshot Layout.layout-meta.xml"""

And finally, another problem I had, make sure none of the files are in your .forceignore or you will get the Not Found In Workspace error.
