🎉🎉 Introducing afmt - A new #Salesforce #Apex code formatter! It's ready for testing now! 🔗 GitHub repo: github.com/xixiaofinland/… ❓ Why another formatter? github.com/xixiaofinland/… 🎥 Quick 5-min demo: youtu.be/2tBctZqdjMU?si…

This is an awesome addition..

This one is a bit more understandable, protected method in non-virtual class, but really no harm is being done here.

TIL: In global abstract classes, abstract methods have to be global 🤷

@PhilW_SF Maybe the implementation is in the namespace, I just don't want to expose the abstraction. I would probably use an interface instead then, but struck me as rather prescriptive all the same.

@nawforce Makes sense. After all, how could a complete implementation be created outside the namespace otherwise?

🎉 v1.16.0 of Apex Debug Log Analyzer is out with find in the analysis, more ways to open the analysis, a new docs site, a faster Call Tree, faster extension startup and more github.com/certinia/debug… here's a whats new thread 🧵 @SalesforceDevs #SalesforceDevs #Salesforce

1/10 ENTERING_MANAGED_PKG Apex debug log events can make it impossible for the Apex debug log analyzer to determine which managed package DML and SOQL happened in. Vote to improve the handling. ideas.salesforce.com/s/idea/a0B8W00… Other useful ideas in thread @salesforcedevs #apexdebuglog

@FishOfPrey If that is our only resolution then I don't think this is usable for ISVs, we bump into prod orgs where it has been disabled via Case and it would create too many issues within the dev teams.

@nawforce Having compile on deploy enabled is the current resolution to ensure a newly deployed class has been compiled. This enables ApexTypeImplementor to know which interfaces the new class implements.

Anyone know what is going on with ApexTypeImplementor and invalid classes. The doc, developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-…, explicitly states they will be returned, but hit an issue with them being missing until isValid=true.

@FishOfPrey @FishOfPrey Looking like we could do with help to get this Case resolved. If I am understanding, if the class has never been compiled, ApexTypeImplementor won't see it. Not sure what we are supposed to do to make sure it is compiled, not something we usually worry about.

@FishOfPrey Thanks, it's #46557939.

The release of @pmd_analyzer 7 this week is a special moment for @SalesforceDevs. 8 years after I ported it to Salesforce, we finally have: a fully open-source Apex parser (🙏@nawforce et al.), Salesforce as contributor(🙏@johnbelo et al.) and a new logo😅 pmd.github.io/2024/03/22/PMD…

@FishOfPrey Will get a Case raised, but context was interface and classes in same 1GP managed package, failure was seen on a sandbox during release testing. We have been able to hardcode a workaround for now, but intent of design is broken.

@nawforce Do you know why the classes were invalid initially? Had they never been compiled?

New version of apex-parser (3.6.0) with null coalescing operator support is available at github.com/apex-dev-tools….

@toddhalfpenny @PlantUML I have been using PlantUML for C4 models, you can do it in Mermaid but the output looks better with PlantUML.

Who out there is using tool like mermaid and @PlantUML to document their #Salesforce orgs, processes, and what-not? Is there a particular one you prefer for certain cases? #askforce

Great news: @pmd_analyzer is around the corner and will replace the recent closed-source parser with open-sourced ones by @google and @nawforce. But that is not enough: It looks like Salesforce plans to directly contribute and help maintain this parser. 😉 github.com/pmd/pmd/issues…

@rsoesemann @ch_sz_knapp @codefriar @johnbelo Null Coalescing is in works at moment, github.com/apex-dev-tools…. Note: we have moved the parser location to align with other work but it's the continuation of github.com/nawforce/apex-…

I hope this also answers a few questions I got from @ch_sz_knapp , @codefriar, and others about PMD6 and Null Coalescing. PMD 6 will not release another old parser update, but the team around @johnbelo will provide a temporary PMD7 for the SFDX Scanner. #issuecomment-1941029244" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/forcedotcom/sf…

@msrivastav13 @rsoesemann @pmd_analyzer @RaviRaina94010 @gokul_149 @johnbelo Is there anything that can be shared about the ISV pilot for ApexGuru?

I think what is critical to understand is the insights provided by ApexGuru is from the org runtime. Meaning it looks at the metrics when the code is executed in runtime. Graph engine can definitely programmed to look at this via static analysis if I guess query is static. However not everything can be done via just looking at Code Syntax. This query may be dynamic or abstracted and then I think what ApexGuru does becomes invaluable.

Finding code issues with @pmd_analyzer is fast and easy. But the SOQL IN example in this blog about #ApexGuru represents a case, which a Static Analyser can't detect in a reliable way. @RaviRaina94010 and @gokul_149, couldn't @johnbelo 's Graph Engine detect this issue?

@jodiem I have raised this exact thing with support. You get one entry event per constructor/ method call etc that occurs in that package. I raised an idea to simplify the clutter by adding an exit event and only logging entry on the first package entry ideas.salesforce.com/s/idea/a0B8W00…

@rsoesemann @pmd_analyzer Love the extra transparency over what happens in security review but a bit confused about why jar files, any insight?

And I am a bit proud to have enabled a few parts of this by enabling Custom XPath rules for Apex and XML Metadata in @pmd_analyzer 🤗. Salesforce is using that for one of its most important processes.

I'm sure @appexchange partners are thrilled that Salesforce is massively improving its SFDX Scanner. Yesterday, 32 new rules specific to Security Review were released. So much transparency for a process so opaque until now. Thanks, @johnbelo and team! forcedotcom.github.io/sfdx-scanner/e…
