Workaround for https://github.com/fastlane/fastlane/issues/5163

[IngmarStein]

This looks like a good workaround to me.

[Liquidsoul]

I've got the same issue, and this change fixes it for me using Xcode 8 beta 4 👍
I hope this will be approved and released soon 🚀

[KrauseFx]

Very interesting approach, definitely something we could try 👍

[wkoszek]

I'm hitting this problem in my project, but with clean added to this command, if I run it 10 times:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild clean -showBuildSettings -workspace Sensorama.xcworkspace -scheme SensoramaTests

It still hangs sometimes.

[KrauseFx]

So it seems like this doesn't actually fix the issue 😢

[ohayon]

Going to close this in favor of #5188

[IngmarStein]

This was supposed to fix #5163 (always hangs with Xcode 8), not #4059 (sometimes hangs with Xcode < 8).

[dulacp]

I support with @IngmarStein, #5188 seems to have nothing to do with this "always hangs with Xcode 8".
I'm using his fix and it's working very well for this particular issue

[IngmarStein]

@ohwutup the underlying bug hasn't been fixed in Xcode 8 Beta 6, but @tokorom's fix still works.

[ianterrell]

@ohwutup Petitioning for reopening. :)

@IngmarStein thanks for sharing, will try it

[lyndsey-ferguson]

It worked the first 2 times and then failed (by hanging again). Ok, now the fourth time works.

[IngmarStein]

Interesting. With my Core Data based project, I can easily run xcodebuild clean -showBuildSettingsmany times without hang (e.g. for f in {1..20}; do xcodebuild clean -showBuildSettings > /dev/null 2>&1; done).
Without the clean parameter, xcodebuild from Xcode 8 always hangs.

[lyndsey-ferguson]

I have this running behind Jenkins, that may be the added variable.

[IngmarStein]

@lyndsey-ferguson is it possible that you're running into #4059 then? A combination of this PR and #5188 may be required for a complete fix.

@IngmarStein Thanks for investigating and putting this together 👍

I'm going to take this as-is, but do a follow-up to put this behavior behind a feature switch so that people can opt-in to the change. ✅

[hotbott]

Seems to work in my projects and Xcode 7.3.1. Thanks.

[lyndsey-ferguson]

@IngmarStein the commit made by @fcy works for me. I put this in my Gemfile:
gem 'fastlane', :git => 'https://github.com/fcy/fastlane.git', :branch => 'fcy/fix-xcodebuild-show-settings'

[mfurtak]

After talking with @KrauseFx, we decided not to put this workaround behind a feature switch. It'll go out live for everyone by default with the next release. 👍

[mfurtak]

@lyndsey-ferguson Thanks for chiming in with your test results. 👍 We'll work on merging a retry solution next!

[mfurtak]

Hi all, this has been released as part of fastlane_core 0.51.0 🚀

The retry solution from #5188 is also a part of that release.

Thanks very much for your help! Please let us know how it looks 👍

[KrauseFx]

To test the latest release, please run [sudo] gem update fastlane_core or if you have a Gemfile bundle update.

Please let us know if that fixes the issue for you, so we can push new releases for gym and scan 🚀

[mfurtak]

Hi all, gym 1.9.0 💪 and scan 0.12.0 🔍 have been released to pick up these fastlane_core improvements.

To get updated and try them out, please run [sudo] gem update gym scan 🚀

[jacobjennings]

Doesn't this ignore the -clean parameter, and break incremental builds?

[KrauseFx]

@jacobjennings Could you submit a new issue for this? 👍
