How do I create a scratch org with Salesforce Platfom licenses

Question

I'm creating a new scratch organisation in order to deploy source code that we worked on in a sandbox. Our product makes use of a Salesforce platform licence, which we employ to create our profile definitions.

I cannot deploy my source files since I do not receive the Salesforce platform licence when I establish a new Scratch org using the Enterprise edition.

Because my source also has communities enabled and the guest user licencing is different in Developer edition, I require the Enterprise edition (rather than the Developer version). The 'Guest' licence type is included in Developer edition scratch orgs, rather than the 'Guest User Licence' licencing type seen in my Sandbox and Enterprise versions.

Below is the project-scratch-def.json file that I'm using.

Answer 1

Answer from Salesforce support was to include the ForceComPlatform value in the Features array.

Something like

{
  "orgName": "Demo Company",
  "edition": "Enterprise",
  "features": ["ForceComPlatform"],
  "settings": {
    "orgPreferenceSettings": {
      "networksEnabled": true,
      "offlineDraftsEnabled": true,
      "pathAssistantsEnabled": true,
      "s1DesktopEnabled": true
    }
  }
}

This created a scratch org for me with 1 Salesforce Platform license.

Hope this helps!
