# CI/CD Pipeline Templates
Ready-to-use templates for integrating Code Analyzer into CI/CD pipelines.
## GitHub Actions (using `forcedotcom/run-code-analyzer@v2`)
The official GitHub Action for Code Analyzer. It orchestrates the run, uploads artifacts, and optionally creates PR reviews with violation counts.
**Action inputs:**
| Input | Required | Default | Description |
|-------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `run-arguments` | No | `--view detail --output-file sfca_results.json` | Flags passed to `sf code-analyzer run` |
| `results-artifact-name` | No | `salesforce-code-analyzer-results` | Name of the uploaded ZIP artifact |
| `github-token` | No | *(none)* | Enables PR reviews + `*-in-changed-files` outputs |
**Action outputs:** `exit-code`, `num-violations`, `num-sev1-violations` through `num-sev5-violations`, `num-violations-in-changed-files`, `num-sev1-violations-in-changed-files` through `num-sev5-violations-in-changed-files`, `review-id`.
**Key `run-arguments` flags:**
| Flag | Purpose | Example |
|------|---------|---------|
| `--workspace` | Root directory to scan (scans all eligible files recursively) | `--workspace .` |
| `--target` | Specific files/directories to scan (comma-separated or repeated) | `--target force-app/main/default/classes --target force-app/main/default/triggers` |
| `--rule-selector` | Which rules to run | `Recommended`, `all`, `all:Security`, `pmd`, `"Severity:1,2"` |
| `--config-file` | Path to `code-analyzer.yml`**omit if no config file exists** | `--config-file code-analyzer.yml` |
| `--output-file` | Output file (repeat for multiple formats; format inferred from extension) | `--output-file results.html --output-file results.sarif` |
| `--view` | Output verbosity | `detail` or `summary` |
**`--workspace` vs `--target`:**
- Use `--workspace .` for full-repo scans (most common in CI)
- Use `--target <path>` to scan specific directories (monorepos, scoped scans, faster feedback)
- If both are omitted, defaults to current working directory
- You can combine: `--workspace . --target force-app/` scans only `force-app/` within the workspace
### Basic Quality Gate (Pull Requests)
```yaml
# .github/workflows/code-analyzer.yml
name: Salesforce Code Analyzer
on:
pull_request:
branches: [main, develop]
jobs:
code-analysis:
permissions:
pull-requests: write
contents: read
actions: read
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Check out files

- name: Setup Node
uses: actions/setup-node@v4
with:
node-version: '>=20.9.0'
- name: Setup Java
uses: actions/setup-java@v4
with:
distribution: 'temurin'
java-version: '>=11'
- name: Install Salesforce CLI
run: npm install -g @salesforce/cli@latest

echo "Sev2: ${{ steps.run-code-analyzer.outputs.num-sev2-violations-in-changed-files }}"
exit 1
```
### Strict Quality Gate (All Files + SARIF)
```yaml
# .github/workflows/code-analyzer-strict.yml
name: Salesforce Code Analyzer (Strict)
on:
pull_request:
branches: [main]
push:
branches: [main]

github-token: ${{ github.token }}
- name: Upload SARIF to GitHub Security
if: always()
uses: github/codeql-action/upload-sarif@v3
with:
sarif_file: sfca_results.sarif
- name: Check Quality Gate (All Files)
if: |
steps.run-code-analyzer.outputs.exit-code > 0 ||
steps.run-code-analyzer.outputs.num-sev1-violations > 0 ||
steps.run-code-analyzer.outputs.num-sev2-violations > 0
run: |
echo "Quality gate failed!"
echo "Total violations: ${{ steps.run-code-analyzer.outputs.num-violations }}"
echo "Sev1: ${{ steps.run-code-analyzer.outputs.num-sev1-violations }}"
echo "Sev2: ${{ steps.run-code-analyzer.outputs.num-sev2-violations }}"
exit 1
```
### Security-Focused (AppExchange Prep)
```yaml
# .github/workflows/code-analyzer-security.yml
name: Security Analysis
on:
pull_request:
branches: [main]
schedule:
- cron: '0 6 * * 1' # Weekly Monday 6am
jobs:
security-scan:
permissions:
pull-requests: write
contents: read
actions: read
security-events: write
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Check out files
uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Setup Node
uses: actions/setup-node@v4
with:
node-version: '>=20.9.0'
- name: Setup Java
uses: actions/setup-java@v4
with:
distribution: 'temurin'
java-version: '>=11'
- name: Install Salesforce CLI
run: npm install -g @salesforce/cli@latest
- name: Install Code Analyzer Plugin

- name: Run Security Scan
id: run-code-analyzer
uses: forcedotcom/run-code-analyzer@v2
with:
run-arguments: --workspace . --rule-selector "all:Security" --output-file security-results.html --output-file security-results.json --output-file security-results.sarif --config-file code-analyzer.yml
results-artifact-name: security-scan-results
github-token: ${{ github.token }}
- name: Upload SARIF to GitHub Security
if: always()
uses: github/codeql-action/upload-sarif@v3
with:
sarif_file: security-results.sarif
- name: Fail on Any Security Violations
if: steps.run-code-analyzer.outputs.num-sev1-violations > 0
run: |
echo "Critical security violations found!"
echo "Sev1: ${{ steps.run-code-analyzer.outputs.num-sev1-violations }}"
exit 1
```
### With Path Filters (Faster Feedback)
Use `paths:` to only trigger the workflow when relevant source files change. This avoids running scans on README edits, CI config changes, etc.
```yaml
# .github/workflows/code-analyzer-filtered.yml
name: Salesforce Code Analyzer
on:
pull_request:
branches: [main, develop]
paths:
- 'force-app/**'
- '**/*.cls'
- '**/*.trigger'
- '**/*.js'
- '**/*.ts'
- '**/*.html'
- '**/*.flow-meta.xml'
- 'code-analyzer.yml'
jobs:
code-analysis:
permissions:
pull-requests: write
contents: read
actions: read
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Check out files
uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Setup Node
uses: actions/setup-node@v4
with:
node-version: '>=20.9.0'
- name: Setup Java
uses: actions/setup-java@v4
with:
distribution: 'temurin'
java-version: '>=11'
- name: Install Salesforce CLI
run: npm install -g @salesforce/cli@latest
- name: Install Code Analyzer Plugin
run: sf plugins install code-analyzer@latest
- name: Run Salesforce Code Analyzer
id: run-code-analyzer
uses: forcedotcom/run-code-analyzer@v2
with:
run-arguments: --workspace . --rule-selector Recommended --output-file sfca_results.html --output-file sfca_results.json
results-artifact-name: code-analyzer-results
github-token: ${{ github.token }}
- name: Check Quality Gate
if: |
steps.run-code-analyzer.outputs.num-sev1-violations-in-changed-files > 0 ||
steps.run-code-analyzer.outputs.num-sev2-violations-in-changed-files > 0
run: exit 1
```
**When to use path filters:**
- Use when the repo contains non-Salesforce code (docs, scripts, infra) that shouldn't trigger scans
- Always include `code-analyzer.yml` in paths so config changes trigger a validation run
- Don't use if you want every PR to get a scan regardless of what changed
### With Flow Engine (Python Required)
If the project contains `.flow-meta.xml` files and uses the Flow engine, Python 3.10+ must be installed:
```yaml
- name: Setup Python (required for Flow engine)
uses: actions/setup-python@v5
with:
python-version: '>=3.10'
```
Insert this step after the Java setup step. If you're unsure whether the project uses Flows, include it — it adds ~5s and avoids a partial scan failure.
### Monorepo / Scoped Scan
For monorepos where Salesforce code lives in a subdirectory, use `--target` to scope the scan:
```yaml
- name: Run Salesforce Code Analyzer
id: run-code-analyzer
uses: forcedotcom/run-code-analyzer@v2
with:
run-arguments: --workspace . --target packages/salesforce-app/force-app --rule-selector Recommended --output-file sfca_results.html --output-file sfca_results.json
results-artifact-name: code-analyzer-results
github-token: ${{ github.token }}
```
For multiple packages:
```
--target packages/app-a/force-app --target packages/app-b/force-app
```
### Without a Config File
If the project has no `code-analyzer.yml`, simply omit `--config-file`. Code Analyzer uses built-in defaults:
```yaml
- name: Run Salesforce Code Analyzer
id: run-code-analyzer
uses: forcedotcom/run-code-analyzer@v2
with:
run-arguments: --workspace . --rule-selector Recommended --output-file sfca_results.html --output-file sfca_results.json
results-artifact-name: code-analyzer-results
github-token: ${{ github.token }}
```
To conditionally use a config file if it exists:
```yaml
- name: Check for config file
id: config-check
run: |
if [ -f "code-analyzer.yml" ]; then
echo "config-flag=--config-file code-analyzer.yml" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
else
echo "config-flag=" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
fi
- name: Run Salesforce Code Analyzer
id: run-code-analyzer
uses: forcedotcom/run-code-analyzer@v2
with:
run-arguments: --workspace . --rule-selector Recommended --output-file sfca_results.html --output-file sfca_results.json ${{ steps.config-check.outputs.config-flag }}
results-artifact-name: code-analyzer-results
github-token: ${{ github.token }}
```
## Jenkins

## Configuration Tips for CI/CD
### Quality Gating Strategy
With `forcedotcom/run-code-analyzer@v2`, you control the quality gate via output checks:
| Strategy | Condition | Use Case |
|----------|-----------|----------|
| Block on critical only | `num-sev1-violations > 0` | Permissive — only block security vulnerabilities |
| Block on critical + high | `num-sev1-violations > 0 \|\| num-sev2-violations > 0` | Recommended for most teams |
| Block on changed files only | `num-sev1-violations-in-changed-files > 0` | Great for legacy codebases — don't block on pre-existing issues |
| Block on total count | `num-violations > 10` | Budget approach — allow some violations but cap total |
| Zero tolerance | `num-violations > 0` | For new greenfield projects only |
For non-GitHub platforms (Jenkins, GitLab, Bitbucket), parse `results.json` to count violations by severity and fail the pipeline accordingly.
### Output Formats
Specify multiple `--output-file` flags (format inferred from extension):
| Format | Extension | Best For |
|--------|-----------|----------|
| SARIF | `.sarif` | GitHub Code Scanning integration (requires `security-events: write` permission) |
| JSON | `.json` | Programmatic processing, quality gating scripts, custom dashboards |
| HTML | `.html` | Human-readable reports in artifacts |
| CSV | `.csv` | Spreadsheet analysis |
| XML | `.xml` | Legacy tool integration |
### Caching for Faster CI
```yaml
# GitHub Actions: Cache sf CLI plugins
- uses: actions/cache@v4
with:
path: ~/.local/share/sf/
key: sf-plugins-${{ hashFiles('**/code-analyzer.yml') }}
restore-keys: sf-plugins-
```
### Recommended PR Workflow
1. **On PR open/update:** Use `forcedotcom/run-code-analyzer@v2` with `github-token` — gate on changed-files outputs only
2. **On merge to main:** Full scan with SARIF upload to GitHub Security tab
3. **Weekly schedule:** Full security scan with `--rule-selector "all:Security"`
### When to Use Path Filters
| Situation | Use Path Filters? | Reasoning |
|-----------|-------------------|-----------|
| Mixed repo (docs, infra, salesforce code) | Yes | Avoid wasting CI minutes on non-code PRs |
| Pure Salesforce project | Optional | Every PR likely touches scannable files anyway |
| You want config changes to trigger a scan | Yes, include `code-analyzer.yml` | Validates config changes don't break the scan |
| Monorepo with multiple apps | Yes, scope to your package path | Avoid scanning unrelated packages |
---
## Composition & Adaptation Guide
When a user's request doesn't match an existing template exactly, compose from these building blocks:
### Prerequisites Block (always required)
```yaml
# ALWAYS include these — the action does NOT install them
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4 # Node >= 20.9.0
- uses: actions/setup-java@v4 # Java >= 11 (for PMD/CPD/SFGE)
- uses: actions/setup-python@v5 # Python >= 3.10 (ONLY if project has .flow-meta.xml files)
- run: npm install -g @salesforce/cli@latest
- run: sf plugins install code-analyzer@latest
```
### Composing `run-arguments`
Build the `run-arguments` string by combining these independent flags as needed:
| Need | Flag to Add |
|------|-------------|
| Scan the whole repo | `--workspace .` |
| Scan specific directory | `--target force-app/main/default/classes` |
| Scan multiple directories | `--target dir1 --target dir2` |
| Use recommended rules | `--rule-selector Recommended` |
| Use all rules | `--rule-selector all` |
| Security rules only | `--rule-selector "all:Security"` |
| Specific engine only | `--rule-selector pmd` or `--rule-selector eslint` |
| Specific severity filter | `--rule-selector "Severity:1,2"` |
| Combined selector | `--rule-selector "pmd:Security:(1,2)"` |
| Apply custom config | `--config-file code-analyzer.yml` |
| No custom config | *(omit --config-file entirely)* |
| HTML output | `--output-file results.html` |
| JSON output | `--output-file results.json` |
| SARIF for GitHub Security | `--output-file results.sarif` |
| Multiple formats | `--output-file a.html --output-file b.json --output-file c.sarif` |
| Verbose output | `--view detail` |
### Permissions Required
| Feature | Permission Needed |
|---------|------------------|
| PR review comments | `pull-requests: write` |
| Upload SARIF to Security tab | `security-events: write` |
| Private repo checkout | `contents: read` |
| Download artifacts | `actions: read` |
