sfdx-scan-pull-request

Runs sfdx-scanner on a pull request or individual commit and generates in-line comments with the findings.

Inputs

NOTE: All inputs are optional

category

Categor(ies) of rules to run.

engine

Engine(s) to run. This takes the form of a comma delimited string, and is passed directly to the sf scanner command line. ie:

'pmd,eslint,eslint-lwc'

eslint-env

JSON-formatted string, overrides ESLint's default environment variables.

eslintconfig

Location of eslintrc config to customize eslint engine.

pmdconfig

Location of PMD rule reference XML file to customize rule selection.

Multiple PMD Rulesets

To use multiple rulesets within the scan, make a top level file such as masterRuleset.xml and include the paths to the other ruleset files:

.
├── masterRuleset.xml
├── ruleset1.xml
└── ruleset2.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ruleset name="master"
    xmlns="http://pmd.sourceforge.net/ruleset/2.0.0"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://pmd.sourceforge.net/ruleset/2.0.0 https://pmd.sourceforge.io/ruleset_2_0_0.xsd">
    <description>Master Ruleset</description>
    <rule ref="ruleset1.xml" />
    <rule ref="ruleset2.xml" />
</ruleset>

pmdconfig: masterRuleset.xml

custom-pmd-rules

A JSON string which defines any custom rules which need to be registered before the scan is ran. Custom rules are identified by the path to their XML/JAR file and their language.

ex:

[
  { "path": "customRules/customApex.jar", "language": "apex" },
  { "path": "customRules/customXml.xml", "language": "xml" }
]

severity-threshold

Throws an error when violations of specific severity (or more severe) are detected.

strictly-enforced-rules

A JSON string which defines the rules which will be strictly enforced regardless of their priority. Enforced rules are identified by their engine, category, and rule name.

ex:

[{ "engine": "pmd", "category": "Performance", "rule": "AvoidDebugStatements" }]

target

Optionally provide this to scan a whole directory instead of just the diff. If the action is run on a push, target will be respected; because GitHub does not allow the uploading of comments during a PR run for a file that hasn't been changed on the latest commit for that PR, this option is ignored when running for a pull request (in favor of just scanning the diff, as it would if this option wasn't supplied).

tsconfig

Location of tsconfig.json file.

report-mode

Details which way to report issues back to GitHub, can be either:

• check-runs - Shows findings as annotations on the PR (default)
• comments - Shows findings as comments

delete-resolved-comments

When set to true, will delete resolved comments from a PR. Defaults to false. Will do nothing unless report-mode is set to comments.

Example usage

name: Static Analysis
on:
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, reopened, synchronize]
  workflow_dispatch:
jobs:
  analyze:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0

      - name: Install SFDX CLI and Scanner
        run: |
          npm install sfdx-cli -g
          sfdx plugins:install @salesforce/sfdx-scanner

      - name: Run SFDX Scanner - Report findings as comments
        uses: mitchspano/sfdx-scan-pull-request@v[LATEST_VERSION_HERE]
        with:
          pmdconfig: masterRuleset.xml
          severity-threshold: 4
          strictly-enforced-rules: '[{ "engine": "pmd", "category": "Performance", "rule": "AvoidDebugStatements" }]'
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Note the global installation of the SFDX cli - alternatively, you can use:

- name: Install SFDX CLI and Scanner
  run: |
    npm install sfdx-cli
    npx sfdx plugins:install @salesforce/sfdx-scanner

for that step.
