  $ sfp server environment lock --name staging --wait --timeout 60

  $ sfp server environment lock --name dev-sandbox --repository myorg/myrepo

Output:

Environment locked successfully

DESCRIPTION
  Delete an environment from the server

  This permanently removes the environment configuration from the server.

  $ sfp server environment delete --name test-env --repository myorg/myrepo

Use Cases

CI/CD Pipeline with Environment Locking

# GitHub Actions example
jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Lock Environment
        id: lock
        run: |
          LOCK_OUTPUT=$(sfp server environment lock --name staging --wait --json)
          echo "ticket=$(echo $LOCK_OUTPUT | jq -r '.ticket')" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
      
      - name: Deploy to Environment
        run: |
          # Deployment commands here
          sfp release --environment staging
      
      - name: Unlock Environment
        if: always()
        run: |
          sfp server environment unlock \
            --name staging \
            --ticket ${{ steps.lock.outputs.ticket }}

Environment Matrix for Parallel Testing

jobs:
  get-environments:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    outputs:
      matrix: ${{ steps.get-envs.outputs.matrix }}
    steps:
      - id: get-envs
        run: |
          MATRIX=$(sfp server environment list --type sandbox --status available --matrix)
          echo "matrix=$MATRIX" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
  
  test:
    needs: get-environments
    strategy:
      matrix: ${{ fromJson(needs.get-environments.outputs.matrix) }}
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Run Tests
        run: |
          echo "Testing on ${{ matrix.environment }}"

Best Practices

1. Always Lock for Deployments: Lock environments during deployments to prevent conflicts

2. Use Wait with Timeout: In CI/CD, use --wait with appropriate timeout values

3. Always Unlock: Ensure environments are unlocked in finally/always blocks

4. Document Environment Types: Maintain clear naming conventions for environment types

5. Regular Cleanup: Remove unused environments to keep the list manageable

Note: Environment locks have automatic expiration to prevent indefinite locks from failed processes.

Warning: Deleting an environment only removes it from the SFP server. The actual Salesforce org remains unchanged.
