GitHub Action
Fastlane Action
This action executes the lane that is passed.
Since there were various issues with the hardcoded ruby version inside this action, I decided to hand over the responsibility of setting up the ruby version to the user of this action.
So, if you were previously using this action without a setup-ruby step preceding this action, you have to add the setup-ruby step as soon as you migrate to version 2.0.0.
If you don't want the behaviour to change, you can specify ruby-version >= 2.6, since that was the version that was hardcoded in versions < 2.0.0 of this action. If you don't have
any special requirements when it comes to your ruby version, I would recommend using 2.7.2
. Since December 2020, there is a new major version of Ruby available, but fastlane does not support that yet (see this issue).
You can keep an eye on this issue from the fastlane repo to see when that changes.
Required The lane that should be executed.
Optional The options that should be passed as arguments to the lane. The options should be serialized as a JSON object.
Optional The relative path from the project root to the subdirectory where the fastlane folder is located.
Optional The directory where Ruby gems should be installed to and cached. If a relative path is specified, it's applied relative to the location of the Gemfiled
, which is either the project root or the directory from the subdirectory
input option.
Optional The action tracks usage using Firebase by default (see Tracking of usage statistics). You can disable tracking by setting this input option to 'true'.
Basic usage for executing a lane in the root directory without arguments.
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: actions/setup-ruby@v1
with:
ruby-version: '2.7.2'
- uses: maierj/[email protected]
with:
lane: 'beta'
Usage for executing a lane in the root directory with arguments.
For a lane called beta
to be called like
fastlane beta option1:value1 option2:value2
the workflow step should look like
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: actions/setup-ruby@v1
with:
ruby-version: '2.7.2'
- uses: maierj/[email protected]
with:
lane: 'beta'
options: '{ "option1": "value1", "option2": "value2" }'
Usage for executing a lane in a context where the fastlane folder is in a subdirectory called ios
.
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: actions/setup-ruby@v1
with:
ruby-version: '2.7.2'
- uses: maierj/[email protected]
with:
lane: 'beta'
subdirectory: 'ios'
Speed up execution time of your workflow by specifying a custom directory where Ruby gems are installed to and shared between multiple steps of the same workflow.
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: actions/setup-ruby@v1
with:
ruby-version: '2.7.2'
- uses maierj/[email protected]
with:
lane: 'beta'
subdirectory: 'ios'
bundle-install-path: 'vendor/bundle'
The action supports macOS and ubuntu as virtual environments.
Usage of this action is tracked using Firebase. The information that is tracked is:
- If optional input
options
is used (not the value of the parameter) - If optional input
subdirectory
is used (not the value of the parameter) - If optional input
bundle-install-path
is used (not the value of the parameter) - Operating System of the runner that executes this action (using environment variable
RUNNER_OS
) - Name of the repository, that uses the action (using environment variable
GITHUB_REPOSITORY
)
Tracking can be disabled by using the input option skip-tracking
.
