How to pass list of devices as arguments to the lane

[ngouass]

Hi, I don't know ruby language and I'm trying to find a way to pass list of devices as arguments since values are not string.

current state

lane :test1 do
  appicon(
      appicon_image_file: 'spec/fixtures/Themoji.png',
      appicon_devices: [:ipad, :iphone, :ios_marketing])
end

expecting state

lane :test1 do |options|
  appicon(
      appicon_image_file: 'spec/fixtures/Themoji.png',
      appicon_devices: options[:devices]
  )
end

command:

bundle exec fastlane test1 devices:"[:iphone, :ipad, :ios_marketing]"

Thanks.

It's not possible to pass an array via the command line for now, sorry. You'll have to define it in your Fastfile for now, you could manually build something to parse the CLI options differently though, however it's out of the scope for this project.

Assuming you have 2-3 configurations, it's probably easiest to just have multiple lanes each with a different list.

@KrauseFx thanks for this answer! it actually looks clean to separate them.

@KrauseFx Is this still true? You cannot pass an array via command line? Thanks

Arrays can be passed as a comma delimited string (e.g. param:"1,2,3").

That's how I've managed to do this:

lane :github_commit_and_pull_request do|options
       schemes_list = JSON.parse(options[:schemes_list])
       schemes_list.each do |scheme|
           ....
       end    
...
end

Call this lane with parameter value with a JSON array as the string value:
bundle exec fastlane github_commit_and_pull_request schemes_list:'["test","test"]'
