Salesforce Code Analyzer

Here's what's new in Salesforce Code Analyzer. For a detailed list of new and changed features made in recent updates, see Release Notes for v3.x or Release Notes for v4.x.

Salesforce Graph Engine is a new Code Analyzer engine. Graph Engine performs more complex checks than an average static-analysis tool because it uses data-flow analysis (dfa). Preview its features using the scanner run dfa command.

We upgraded major versions of the ESLint engines.

• eslint from major version 6 to major version 8
• typescript-eslint plug-in from major version 2 to major version 5
• eslint-lwc plug-in from major version 0 to major version 1

RetireJS is a default engine along with PMD, ESLint, and ESLint-Typescript. To provide more information about RetireJS violations, we enhanced the scanner run command with a new --verbose-violations flag.

We replaced the -v/--violations-cause-error flag on scanner run with the -s/--severity-threshold flag.
