Really excited to tell everyone I know that the Spring '25 release notes bring Snowflake Views! (@Ross Belmont
and his team to the rescue! ) All sorts of new use cases can be evaluated now for this connector.
But... we haven't been able to experiment with these yet because... Validate & Sync seems to be broken in all of our Spring '25 preview sandboxes.
We have 4 sandboxes that use external objects connected to Snowflake. 2 are broken and both are on Spring '25. (We have opened Case #469518267 for this issue.)
Prior to authenticating the Principal, we would see expected errors about the authentication failing. After authenticating, the internal server error started.
When clicking the "Validate and Sync" button on our the Snowflake External Data Source, we get an internal
Salesforce error.An internal server error has occurred
An error has occurred while processing your request.
Error ID: 1172090765-16154 (-1594132758)
We can still connect to Snowflake from the org (we can confirm via the External Data Source Tracer), so the crash seems to happen after it's connected.
It all seems to be dead now... no external data displays and we can't validate & sync.
Anyone else seeing the same issue?

@* Release Readiness Trailblazers *I would need a time machine to be 100% sure which fix resolved the issue in this particular org—we added error handling in a few places—but the takeaway is customers should not see this error during Validate & Sync any longer.
If you do, please contact support. And thanks for getting in touch!
