This blogpost is meant for myself as a copy-paste of stuff I often use when working with Dynamics 365 eCommerce. If others can benefit from it just makes me happy.
URL’s when working with D365 eCommerce sites:
Depending on the URL, you need to add the prefix ‘?’ for the first parameter, and ‘&’ for the next etc.
| preview=inprogres | Preview pages that is not published in sitebuilder |
| debug=true | Turns on debug mode and displays module errors |
| theme=fabrikam
theme=starter theme= adventureworks |
Change the theme of the site to check if there could be issues with your own theme. |
| domain=xxx.yyy.com | Set the domain. Only relevant on dev/test environments |
| cachebypass=get | Bypasses any cache |
To sign-out
[URL]/_msdyn365/signout
Also when looking for page source code, search for “SDK” to see version of the site.
Robot.txt
When working with eCommerce sites, I don’t want the search indexer to pick-up development stuff. Here are the Robots.txt that prevents search engine to crawl the site. As realized in practice, search engines REALLY want to sell our stuff, and you may get unwanted traffic into your development site.
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
Yarn commands
When working in visual studio code the following commands are used a lot.
Yarn yarn --force |
Installing all the dependencies specified in the package.json |
yarn cache clean |
Clean any cache |
yarn start |
Build and launch the Node server using the port defined in the .env file |
yarn msdyn365 pack |
Creates a package (modules, data actions, themes, and so on). This package will then be uploaded to LCS. |
yarn msdyn365 pack --preview |
Get the good stuff. Creates a package with the latest SDK preview version |
yarn msdyn365 update-versions module-library yarn msdyn365 update-versions retail-proxy yarn msdyn365 update-versions sdk |
Updates the entity (SDK, module library, or retail proxy) versions to the latest release.
and add –preview to get preview versions |
remove-item .\yarn.lock |
Remove the lock |
| Remove-Item -path .\build\ -recurse -force
Remove-Item -path .\lib\ -recurse -force Remove-Item -path .\node_modules\ -recurse -force Remove-Item -path .\submission\ -recurse -force |

URL’s when working with D365 F&O:
