Description

Issue:
The --no-header option in the data loader CLI wasn't working correctly. When users tried to export CSV files without headers, the header row was still being included in the output.

Root Cause:
During a previous refactoring where we split up the ExportManager class, the code that checks whether to exclude headers was accidentally left out. It means this bug was introduced in the 3.16.0 version of the Data Loader.

Solution:
This PR adds back the missing header exclusion check, so the --no-header option now works as intended.

Changes made

  • Added a check before writing the CSV header to verify whether headers should be excluded based on the export options
  • Added unit tests to cover both scenarios: exports with headers included and exports with headers excluded

Summary of Changes

Hello @inv-jishnu, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses a bug in the data loader CLI where the option to exclude CSV headers during data export was not functioning as intended. The fix involves a targeted code change to ensure the header is only written when explicitly required, complemented by new unit tests to validate the corrected behavior for both header inclusion and exclusion.

Highlights

  • Bug Fix: Resolved an issue where the --no-header option in the data loader CLI's CSV export functionality was not correctly excluding the header row from the output file, leading to unintended header inclusion.
  • Conditional Logic Update: Implemented a conditional check within the processHeader method of CsvExportManager.java to prevent the CSV header from being written to the output file when the excludeHeaderRow option is enabled.
  • Enhanced Test Coverage: Added new unit tests in CsvExportManagerTest.java to explicitly verify the correct behavior of CSV exports, covering both scenarios where the header is expected to be included and excluded. A new helper method, runExportAndAssertFirstLine, was introduced to streamline these tests.
