configuring-quality-gate

Prerequisites

Load checking-devops-prerequisites first — Prerequisites 1–4 AND Prerequisite 5 (stage). You need doce-org-alias, pipelineId, stageId, and the target DevopsTestSuiteStage record Id.

Inputs required

Input	Source
name	User-provided name for the quality gate
rules	List of {type, threshold?} — see rule types below
doce-org-alias	Established in Prereq 1
testSuiteStageId	Target DevopsTestSuiteStage record Id (Prereq 5)

Rule types

Type	Description	Threshold
PASS_PERCENTAGE	Minimum % of tests that must pass	Required (0–100)
SEVERITY	Maximum allowed severity level of failures	Required (numeric, e.g. 1–5)
ESSENTIAL	All essential tests must pass	Not required

---

MANDATORY IMPACT PREVIEW

Before executing any commands, show the user this preview and wait for explicit confirmation:

"Here's what this quality gate will enforce on <stageName>:

• Rule: <type> — <description>
• Threshold: <value>
• Affected pipelines: <list>

Confirm to apply?"

Never proceed past this point without showing the impact preview first and receiving explicit confirmation.

---

Confirmation gate

Only proceed with the steps below after the user has explicitly confirmed (e.g., "yes", "confirm", "go ahead"). If the user declines or does not confirm, stop and do not execute any commands.

---

Step 1 — Create the gate record

sf api request rest \
  "/services/data/v67.0/connect/devopstesting/qualityGate" \
  --method POST \
  --body '{"name": "<gateName>"}' \
  --target-org <doce-org-alias>

Extract qualityGateId from the response.

Step 2 — Create each rule as a sObject record

Rules are not accepted in the Connect API payload — create them as DevopsQualityGateRule records directly. Only create rules the user has requested. ESSENTIAL has no threshold.

sf data create record \
  --sobject DevopsQualityGateRule \
  --values "DevopsQualityGateId='<qualityGateId>' Rule='PASS_PERCENTAGE' Threshold=<value>" \
  --target-org <doce-org-alias> --json

sf data create record \
  --sobject DevopsQualityGateRule \
  --values "DevopsQualityGateId='<qualityGateId>' Rule='ESSENTIAL'" \
  --target-org <doce-org-alias> --json

sf data create record \
  --sobject DevopsQualityGateRule \
  --values "DevopsQualityGateId='<qualityGateId>' Rule='SEVERITY' Threshold=<value>" \
  --target-org <doce-org-alias> --json

Step 3 — Link the gate to the suite stage

Update the DevopsTestSuiteStage record to link the new gate:

sf data update record \
  --sobject DevopsTestSuiteStage \
  --record-id <testSuiteStageId> \
  --values "IsQualityGateEnabled=true DevopsQualityGateId='<qualityGateId>'" \
  --target-org <doce-org-alias> --json

---

On success

Confirm to the user:

"Quality gate <gateName> created with <N> rule(s) and assigned to <suiteName> on <stageName>."

Error handling

Never expose raw API errors. Use the following responses:

Status	Response
400	"The quality gate configuration is invalid. Check that all rule types and thresholds are correct."
403	"You don't have permission to configure quality gates on this org."
500	"A server error occurred. Try again in a few minutes."
