New report deployment failures with zipped directory errors typically indicate issues with Copado’s commit process or metadata packaging for recently created reports. Salesforce’s deployment validation provides minimal insight into why new reports aren’t being properly included in deployment packages.
Here’s how to build comprehensive validation and prevention capabilities that track new reports and ensure they’re deployment-ready before packaging.
Build new report tracking workflow using Coefficient
Coefficientoffers superior validation and prevention capabilities through real-time monitoring and automated deployment readiness assessment that Salesforce’s native tools lack.
How to make it work
Step 1. Set up new report tracking workflow.
HubSpotHubSpotSet up automated imports that refresh hourly to detect newly created reports in your development org from. UseCoefficient’s append new data feature to maintain a chronological log of report creation with timestamps for deployment tracking.
Step 2. Create commit validation checklist.
Create a pre-commit validation sheet that verifies new reports meet deployment requirements including proper folder assignments using Report.FolderName validation, API naming convention compliance through DeveloperName field checks, and required permissions and sharing settings verification.
Step 3. Build automated deployment readiness assessment.
Use Coefficient’s filtering capabilities to identify reports created since your last deployment. Set up alerts that notify your team when new reports need to be included in upcoming deployment packages.
Step 4. Understand why new reports fail.
For new reports specifically, this error occurs when reports created after Copado commit selection but before packaging, new reports missing required metadata elements like folder assignments or permissions, and timing issues between report creation and deployment package generation.
