Copado now supports PMD version 6.30. As part of this upgrade, a new rule has been added to the default RuleSet while others have been deprecated:

  • New rule: OperationWithLimitsInLoop.
  • Deprecated rules: AvoidDmlStatementsInLoops, AvoidSoqlInLoops and AvoidSoslInLoops.

In order to ensure the rules are updated, follow the steps below.

  3. Scroll down to Values and click on New to add the new rule.
  4. Add the new rule name as a picklist value (note that this name is case sensitive).
