Is there a current equivalent to the -split option for generate-apex-object?

Hi, I'm following Shay Shmeltzer's blogs (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUUGqqFsj2w&t=303s&ab_channel=ShayJDev) to set up a git for Apex using Visual Builder Studio. I've got a build working which includes the line of code below (in line with the attached blog):

Lb generate-apex-object -applicationid {my app id} -skipExportDate -expOriginalIds -dir {code dir}

This all works, but I've had to omit the -split option which used to be possible with the 'genobject' command. When the option is included (either with 'genobject' or 'generate-apex-object') I get the error 'The supplied parameter "split" is not a part of command'.

This is important because it should allow me to version control individual pages within Apex Applications. At present, it just exports the entire application as a single .xml file.

Happy to provide any details that might help, thanks in advance.

One option to explore is to use the apex command instead of the lb command in your SQLcl step.

Try using

apex export -split

as the build step

Use help apex to get a full list of the commands offered as part of sqlcl apex integration

Thanks Shay, for anyone's future reference this seems to work:

apex export -applicationid <app id> -exptype application_source -skipExportDate -split -expOriginalIds -dir code
