Out of the box you get something to copy over data to full copy and partial copy sandboxes. It'd be exact copy, you'd then have to run a script to anonymise the data, break email addresses on contacts, leads etc (yes, there's way to run Apex class as part of refresh, it's called "PostCopy").

The good bits

There's https://www.salesforce.com/products/platform/features/data-mask/, list price is 10% of your SF net spend (link). Bit expensive but all on the platform? And supposed to work also in dev / dev pro?

There are OwnBackup, Odaseva, Gearset etc offerings (I'm not affiliated with either) but it's bit of a package deal. The focus is on deployment automation, backup & restore and sandbox seeding is kind of side effect. Are you ready to abandon changesets? Do you have production backup & restore strategy in place? Tested?

The bad bits

If you go with anything other than Data Mask - expect you'll have to put some effort in. There's no silver bullet. If you have validation rule "you can't create Opportunities with Close Date in the past" - you're screwed. They will not load OK. Whether it's a seeding scenario or restore from backup. You'd need to identify these and put some bypasses in them (like "don't run if I have Custom Permission called "backup" and you'd then assign / unassign a permission set with it. Because it's bad idea to "don't run if I'm sysadmin", in the long run these backfire). Similarly you might have to:

• skip certain apex triggers.
• make a mini deployment to disable duplicate rules (how good will your email anonymisation be, eh?)
• disable field history tracking during cleanup (congratulations on masking this contact's email with some rubbish, shame the old and new value is still visible in field history)
• or activate "set audit fields" if you need to write original CreatedDate fields.

So... if we accept the fact there's some level of work needed... sfdx tool can assign permission sets. Can run deployments. Can create sandboxes, load data from CSV or even JSON files (great for parent-child like Account+Contacts). There's even this sfdx plugin which takes a while to master but it's absolutely awesome: http://help.sfdmu.com/ It all can run from commandline so you click a script and your new environment is ready 5 min later.

So where would you draw a line? How much you're willing to pay for OwnBackup vs doing it yourself. Yes, it's work but you'll have to do a bit of it either way. By all means chat with sales reps, evaluate products... but it'll have to suit your needs and at the end of the day only you know which trigger / integration / email alert has to be turned off or else it'll spam finance system with test data...

Finally, I was able to solve it.

The reasons why this was failing:

1. Trailhead module information about login is out of date, travis login --org was not working- keep throwing "Not found" exception, so I solved it using travis login --org --github-token.
2. When using travis encrypt-file path-to-secret-file/secret-file.txt path-to-secret-file/secret-file.txt.enc --add I wasn't providing the endpoint, in this case since I was logged to the Org end-point I needed to specify the same in the command by adding --org at the end.
3. Since Travis-org is moving soon to Travis-com, and Travis-org only fetches public repositories, I needed to move this to Travis-com, so I logged out and logged in again but this time pointing to --com in both commands (login and encrypt-file).

Taking these 3 considerations I was able (finally) to make it work.

Is pretty bad not having this information accessible.

Only information that gave me an idea of what probably was happening was this banner.

Basically nothing.

Your dropdown is structured of anchors (links, tags), which naturally are inline elements. That means that naturally these elements are located as part of page or line flow. To make them appear vertical, you need to change them to be "block" elements, which you use by adding display: block to the styling on the dropdown a elements:

Can you make a new formula field (type = number) with something like (LastModifiedDate - DATETIMEVALUE('1970-01-01 00:00:00')) * 24 * 60 * 60. And SELECT LastModifiedTimestamp__c... or however you'd call it.

I don't remember if it does seconds or milliseconds, you might have to multiply by 1000. Bit wasteful to have a field just for that but well, what you can do.

StandardSetController by default displays the listview you selected last. If you have a listview with stupid conditions or it's "Recently Viewed" and you haven't clicked any recently - yep, that's what happens, empty list.

1. Change the listview to all accounts and reload your page.
2. Or call ssc.setFilterId() in constructor to force a specific listview. (I see you have pure visualforce so far, no Apex)
3. I think you can achieve same effect if you pass in the URL &fcf=listviewidhere, similar to how listviews work in Classic. It's been a while though and it's not an official method, you should use setFilterId
4. Or build the StandardSetController based on results of exactly the query you want. (combine this with \[SELECT...\].getQuery())

It's not you, it's them. The hint is in "{target} refused to connect". I don't know what you did to your Chrome error console but the error should be in there.

Refused to frame 'https://trailhead.salesforce.com/' because an ancestor violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "frame-ancestors 'none'".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_Security_Policy

that trailhead page doesn't allow to be embedded anywhere else, not even on pages from same subdomain. Your component will work fine if you use src="https://example.com". Generally you'd need to talk with the target website's owner to whitelist your SF (internal mydomain and/or community, depends what exactly you want to do with it)

I think you have Geolocation__Latitude__s twice in this part:

The verification code is extremely picky. If you remove the parentheses around the word position, I think it will work.

Setting of a parent ID is an example of a task that can be done asynchronously. This is a somewhat poorly chosen example because the same task could be done synchronously without Queuable. (If there are a lot of Account records being updated then moving this task to async might be a good idea).

Public versus private - making a field private is a best practice as a way of encapsulating data in a class. It is used to hide the values or state of a structured data object inside a class, thus preventing direct access to them. In case of a Queuable, this is kinda like a utility class that will be used in a very specific context so you could make the variables public and remove the constructor.
