Configure DevOps Center Pipeline Testing Infrastructure

Sets up and configures a DevOps Center pipeline's testing infrastructure. This skill handles three closely related "configure your pipeline" operations that share the same org context, prerequisites, and entity scope (the pipeline level). Pick the mode that matches the user's intent.

API version: All DevOps testing system calls target Salesforce API v67.0 (minimum required).

Important: All DevOps Center data (pipelines, stages, providers, suites, gates) lives in the Salesforce org — NOT the local repo. Never search the filesystem for pipeline configuration. Always query the org with sf data query or sf api request rest.

Step 1 — Run prerequisites first (always)

Before any query or system call, run the prerequisite checks in references/prerequisite-checks.md. On any failure, surface the plain-language message and stop — never write to an unverified environment.

• Modes A & B (provider configure/sync): run Prerequisites 1–4 (org login, Agentforce DX plugin, DevOps Center org auth, pipeline identified). Prerequisite 5 (stage) is not required — providers are configured at the pipeline level.
• Mode C (quality gate): run Prerequisites 1–4 and Prerequisite 5 (stage). Prereq 5 gives the DevopsPipelineStage only — the target DevopsTestSuiteStage record Id is resolved separately in Mode C's Step 0 (trigger → suite-stage row).

Carry forward the resolved doce-org-alias, pipelineId, and (Mode C) stageId / testSuiteStageId.

Step 2 — Select the mode

If the user wants to…	Mode	Follow
Enable / set up / add a provider that is not yet configured	A — Configure a test provider	references/configuring-test-provider.md
Re-sync / refresh an already-configured provider to pull in new suites	B — Sync a configured provider	references/syncing-test-providers.md
Set / configure a quality gate, coverage threshold, or testing benchmark on a stage	C — Configure a quality gate	references/configuring-quality-gate.md

Disambiguating A vs B (the critical decision): First fetch the pipeline's providers (GET .../testProviders?status=all) — both modes start there. Then:

• Provider is Available (not configured) → Mode A (configure).
• Provider is Configured but suites are stale/missing → Mode B (sync).
• Provider is Configured and the user can't see suites when assigning to a stage → this is a stage-assignment gap, not a configuration gap. Redirect to dx-devops-test-suite-assignments-configure.

⚠ Never POST to the configure endpoint for an already-configured provider — it creates duplicate DevopsPipelineTestProvider records. See references/gotchas.md.

Step 3 — Confirmation gate (required in every mode)

Every mode mutates org state and must show a confirmation gate before any write. Each mode's reference file contains its exact gate wording (Mode C additionally requires a mandatory impact preview before the gate). Do not call any write API until the user gives an affirmative response. If the user declines, stop without writing.

---

Step 4 — Execute and report

Follow the chosen reference file for the exact API calls, success messages, and error handling:

• references/configuring-test-provider.md — Mode A
• references/syncing-test-providers.md — Mode B
• references/configuring-quality-gate.md — Mode C
• references/error-handling.md — consolidated status-code → plain-language tables for all modes
• references/gotchas.md — duplicate-provider trap, API-name differences, trigger-type rules

Never expose raw API errors, stack traces, or JSON payloads to the user — always translate to plain language.
