Overview

validate command helps you to validate a change made to your configuration / code against a target org. This command is typically triggered as part of your Pull Request (PR) or Merge process, to ensure the correctness of configuration/code, before being merged into your main branch. validate can either utilise a scratch org from a tagged pool prepared earlier using the prepare command or one could use the a target org for its purpose

// An example where validate is utilized against a pool 
// of earlier prepared scratch orgs with label review
 
sfp validate pool  -p review \
                   -v devhub  \
                   --diffcheck
// An example where validate is utilized against a target org 
sfp validate org -o ci \
                 -v devhub  \
                 --installdeps
// An example with branch references for intelligent synchronization
sfp validate org -o ci \
                 -v devhub \
                 --ref feature-branch \
                 --baseRef main
// An example with release config for domain-limited validation
sfp validate org -o ci \
                 -v devhub \
                 --releaseconfig config/release-sales.yml

validate pool / validate org command runs the following checks with the options to enable additional features such as dependency and impact analysis:

  • Checks accuracy of metadata by deploying the metadata to an org

  • Triggers Apex Tests

  • Validates Apex Test Coverage of each package (default: 75%)

  • Toggle between different modes for validation:

    • Thorough (Default) - Comprehensive validation with full deployments and all tests

    • Individual - Validates changed packages individually, ideal for PRs

  • Automatically differentiates between:

    • Packages to synchronize (upstream changes)

    • Packages to validate (PR changes)

  • [optional] - Limit validation scope using release configurations (--releaseconfig)

  • [optional] - Validate dependencies between packages for changed components

  • [optional] - Disable diff check while validating (--diffcheck)

  • [optional] - Disable parallel testing of apex tests (--disableparalleltesting)

  • [optional] - Skip test execution entirely (--skipTesting)
