project deploy validate with NoTestRun

[jasonmatos]

I need to be able to do a Deploy check without running any test classes in Developer Sandbox to be able to test if the package.xml is valid and not missing any dependencies.

When running the following command by default all the local test are triggered
sf project deploy validate -x manifest/package.xml

sf project deploy validate -x manifest/package.xml -l NoTestRun
Expected --test-level-NoTestRun to be one of : RunAllTestsInOrg, RunLocalTests, RunSpecifiedTests

I would like to have NoTestRun available for the validate command.

As a workaround, I would run RunSpecifiedTests with a single random testClass
sf project deploy validate -x manifest/package.xml -l RunSpecifiedTests -t RandomClassTest

sf version
@salesforce/cli/1.75.6 win32-x64 node-V17.2.0

The force source deploy command works this way so this command should too. We'll add it.

You can use this command "sfdx project deploy start -x manifest/package.xml -l NoTestRun --dry-run" with --dry-run parameter which will do the validation and the default test run level is no test run in this command

@adityasfdev is correct - thanks! This is supported with the project deploy start command now.

Are there any plans to update the validate command to respect NoTestRun. I understand there is a work around using the deploy start command, but it is not very intuitive.

Even if a workaround is available, I think the command should be updated allowing using NoTestRun as explained by the documentation.
