With this project, you can use Code Analyzer as a quality gate within Copado, and run it on the changed/updated components in your Copado User Story or enforce it before every deployment. All results are available within the Test and Result objects.

Q: What is Salesforce Code Analyzer (Code Analyzer)?

Code Analyzer is a Salesforce CLI plug-in that helps developers write better and more secure code.

To inspect your code, Code Analyzer uses multiple code analysis engines, including PMD, PMD-Appexchange, PMD Copy Paste Detector(CPD), ESLint, RetireJS, and Salesforce Graph Engine. It identifies potential problems, from inconsistent naming to security vulnerabilities, including advanced vulnerabilities such as lack of Create Read Update Delete/Field-Level Security (CRUD/FLS) checks. Code Analyzer conveys these problems with easy-to-understand results. Run the code analyzer on-command in the CLI, or integrate it into your Continuous Integration/Continuous Development (CI/CD) framework so that you can run it against every code change or on a scheduled basis.

Installing the Extension

v2.x Release Notes

Updated to support SFDX-Analyzer v3.20.0, through which Copado SFDX Analyzer now support the new PMD-Appexchange engine out of the box. Please review official documentation here. This is different from the standard PMD rules that run with regular PMD for Salesforce and introduces 32 new PMD rules specific to Security Review. The rules included in pmd-appexchange may help AppExchange partners prepare their managed packages for security review. This new, optional engine contains rules that help you identify common security review failure points, and fix them before you submit your solution for security review.
- How do I use pmd-appexchange to prepare my solution for an AppExchange security review?
  
  In addition to the base PMD engine, Code Analyzer also includes a custom PMD variant, pmd-appexchange. The rules included in pmd-appexchange may help AppExchange partners prepare their managed packages for security review. This new, optional engine contains rules that help you identify common security review failure points, and fix them before you submit your solution. This will be enabled by default in v2.1.0+ of Copado SFDX Analyzer. You can verify this by going into Job Templates > Run SFDX Codeanalyzer QIF > Steps > Run SFDX Code Analyzer > Engine
Results are now shown in a LWC Component on the Result Modal, no need to download the HTML file to review errors.
Removed previously used Flows and Apex Classes from Job Templates to make the extension lightweight.

Upgrading from 1.x version to 2.x version

The new 2.x version relies on some new capabalities by the Copado Deployer and Quality tools package, hence minimum requirements have changed. Please upgrade those packages to the required version as listed in the Pre-requisites section
Upgrading to a new version will overwrite any custom values that were set on the severityThreshold and engine parameter. Please save them before upgrading and reset after the upgrade.
After upgrading, navigate to the “Copado Extensions” tab, select “CopadoSFDXAnalyzer” and press the button “Generate Extension Records”.

Pre-Requisites

Install Copado v21.14 or higher
Install Copado Quality Tools extension v1.42 or higher
Install Copado DX Extension v4.19 or higher
Install the latest version of Copado SFDX Analyzer from Copado's DevOps Exchange.

Create the Following Picklist values
Object: Extension Configuration, Field: Extension Tool, Value: sfdx-scanner & sfdx-scanner-dfa
Picklist Value Set: Copado Test Tool, Value: sfdx-scanner & sfdx-scanner-dfa

Create The Functions and Job Templates

Navigate to the “Copado Extensions” tab, select “CopadoSFDXAnalyzer” and press the button “Generate Extension Records”.

Configure Function Parameters

severityThreshold - Throws an error when violations are found with equal or greater severity than the provided value. Normalized severity values are: 1 (high), 2 (moderate), and 3 (low). Exit code is the most severe violation. The default OOB value set is 2. Feel free to edit it as per your project needs.

The default OOB value is set to eslint-lwc,pmd,cpd,retire-js,pmd-appexchange. Feel free to edit it as per your project needs.

Configure the Quality Gate

Create the Quality Gate Rule

Navigate to the Quality Gate Rules tab and create a new record as follows. Note that the Type field will be populated automatically upon save. The global value set Test Tool should have a value for SFDX Scanner as part of this package. It can be created manually if necessary.

Create the Quality Gate Rule Condition

Set the conditions so that it only applies to Pipelines/Stages/Environments with Platform = SFDX. This picklist value can be added manually if necessary. Once saved, press the button “Activate” on the Quality Gate Rule record.

Repeat these steps to create a QG and QGRC for SFDX-Scanner-DFA as well.

After that you are all set.

To test the configuration, just perform a commit which contains ApexClass/LWC/AuraBundle on a user story on a SFDX platform Pipeline, and the Commit Action will enforce SFDX Analyzer after every commit.

Here's some test-data that can be used to test both the Quality Gates
