Writing Clean and Consistent Code with Static Analysis using PMD and Apex

• PMD

  21 4,654 9.9 Java

  An extensible multilanguage static code analyzer.

  

Nearly every programming language has a static analyzer of its own. For example, golang has gofmt, which is baked into the standard tooling, while Ruby has Rubocop, a community-led project. Even compiled languages like C have their own static analyzer through astyle. However, it can be difficult (and tedious) to run several analyzers across polyglot projects. Fortunately, that’s where a project like PMD can be of assistance. PMD is a static analyzer that allows you to define a standard set of rules that can be applied over multiple languages.

Before getting started, you should have some familiarity with Apex, Salesforce’s programming language which unlocks new possibilities for your organization. We’ll be using VS Code along with the Apex plugin. You’ll also need the Salesforce CLI, which is a tool designed by Salesforce to simplify interacting with the platform.

  Github Action to run PMD static code analyser

If you’re using GitHub Actions, you can just integrate an action such as this one, which takes care of all the installation and configuration for you. If you’re not, you simply need to run PMD as you do on the CLI, within a script:
