Solution Checker for Managed environments

Managed environments requires the configuration of Solution checker, You can use solution checker in Managed Environments to enforce rich static analysis checks on your solutions against a set of best practice rules and identify problematic patterns.

Solution Checker enforcement description

Automatically verify solution checker results for security and reliability issues before solution import. Learn more

Solution Checker ask for 3 kinds of enforcement:

• None, Turn off solution checker verification during solution import. You can continue to manually review the results in the solution explorer.
• Warm, Check for security and reliability issues in the solution checker results, but do not block solution import for any issues.
• Block, Check for security and reliability issues in the solution checker results and block the solution from being imported if critical issues are found.

Rule exclusions / Excluded Rules

You can select to exclude solution checker rules from enforcement. For example, a particular rule might take significant time and effort to fix across the solution, but you would still like the rest of the rules to be enforced. Use the Excluded Rules dropdown list to select the rules to exclude from enforcement.

The list contains rule names and descriptions grouped by category and sorted by severity. As a reminder, only critical severity rules block a solution from being imported.

@eduardodfmex can you add more context/information? this looks only partially filled out

@leighatami I add more description to this.

The provider already allows you to basically enable or disabled the Automatic Solution Check, as per below.

resource "powerplatform_managed_environment" "managed_development" {
  ...
  ## Options available: None, Warn, Block
  solution_checker_mode      = "None"
}

This issue is about fine tuning the exact rules that the Solution Check will actually check, and there are lots of options, so it would be a lot of effort to create, test and document these, for what I think are very edge use-cases. Not sure it is worth the effort IMHO.
