npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill dx-devops-test-suite-run
Runs DevOps Center test suites on a pipeline stage (Pre-Promote, Post-Promote, or Review event) end to end: triggers async execution via the Connect API after an explicit confirmation gate, then polls by runId at provider-specific intervals until it completes, fails, or times out, and hands results to failure analysis. Also retriggers a quality gate after fixes, but only once coverage meets the threshold. Use this skill when a user wants to run, kick off, or launch test suites on a stage, re-run a quality gate, or watch an in-progress run to completion. TRIGGER when: the user wants to run/launch suites on a stage, execute tests before or after promotion, re-run a quality gate after fixing failures, unblock a blocked promotion after adding tests, or poll/watch an in-progress run. DO NOT TRIGGER when: running sf apex run test directly (use platform-apex-test-run), or configuring a NEW gate or threshold (use dx-devops-test-pipeline-configure).
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill dx-devops-test-suite-run
Triggers a DevOps Center test suite execution and watches it to completion. Running and polling are two halves of one operation — never poll without first having (or being handed) a runId.
API version: All DevOps testing system calls target Salesforce API v67.0 (minimum required).
Important: All DevOps Center data lives in the Salesforce org — NOT the local repo. Always query the org with sf data query or sf api request rest.
Run the prerequisite checks in references/prerequisite-checks.md — Prerequisites 1–4 and Prerequisite 5 (stage), since this skill operates on a specific stage. You need the confirmed doce-org-alias, pipelineId, and stageId.
| Input | How to obtain |
|---|---|
pipelineId | Prerequisite 4 (pipeline selection) |
stageId | Prerequisite 5 (pipeline stage confirmation) |
event | Confirm with user: Pre-Promote, Post-Promote, or Review |
testSuiteIds | Confirmed suite IDs from selection or recommendation |
doce-org-alias | Prerequisite 1 |
This call mutates org state — do not proceed without explicit user confirmation. Before calling the API, show:
"I'm about to run tests with the following configuration:
- Pipeline:
<pipelineName>- Stage:
<stageName>- Event:
<event>- Suite(s):
<suiteName(s)>- Org:
<doce-org-alias>Shall I proceed?"
Do not make the API call until the user confirms.
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
stageId | string | The ID of the pipeline stage to execute tests on |
event | string | Pre-Promote, Post-Promote, or Review |
testSuiteIds | string[] | One or more test suite IDs to execute |
Extract the runId (execution ID) from the response. Inform the user:
"Tests are running in
<doce-org-alias>. I'll update you when results are ready."
Then proceed immediately to Step 2 (polling) with the runId.
See references/error-handling.md. If the org rejects execution (e.g. environmentId: null, or classIdList is null or empty — no tests to execute), read the actual error, explain the root cause and required fix in plain language, and finish cleanly. Do not retry in a loop and do not fabricate a runId or results.
Confirmation required: No — polling is automatic and read-only.
Poll the execution record by runId at the provider-appropriate interval. Full intervals, timeout behavior, and the poll query are in references/polling-configuration.md.
Summary of the loop (the runId is a DevopsTestSuiteExecution Id — poll that object, not DevopsTestExecution):
DevopsTestSuiteExecution by runId each interval for Status, Coverage, SuccessCount, FailureCount, QualityGateStatus.InProgress → wait and poll again.Passed / Failed → surface Coverage, SuccessCount, FailureCount, and QualityGateStatus inline (no raw JSON). If FailureCount > 0, fetch the child DevopsTestExecution failure rows and hand off to dx-devops-test-failures-analyze.Error → the run itself errored (not test failures); surface ResultDetails/Message in plain language and offer retry or skip.runId, do NOT auto-retry, wait for user instruction.Use when a promotion was blocked by a gate failure and the coverage gap has since been addressed. All preconditions, gate, and the retrigger API call are in references/retrigger-mode.md. Key rule: do not retrigger unless the latest Coverage meets or exceeds the DevopsQualityGateRule threshold. After the retrigger returns a new runId, hand it to Step 2 (polling).
dx-devops-test-failures-analyze — receives the failure payload on completion; can also create a fix work item.dx-devops-test-suite-assignments-configure — recommend which suites to run, or assign a suite to the stage if it isn't linked yet.dx-devops-test-pipeline-configure — configure a new quality gate or threshold (this skill only re-runs existing gates).
