I am using Xcode Cloud with my iOS project. There are a few workflows based on branches and tags. Commonly one of them is finishing with app publication on the Test Flight.
My goal is to make an automation that will be run on develop
branch every time when I will make some push. This automation will arise when script will find #promote
tag inside commit message.
My first approach was to use post build script in Xcode Cloud as shown below:
#!/bin/sh
# ci_post_xcodebuild.sh
# BeforeDaily
#
# Created by Piotrek on 28/08/2022.
#
cd "$CI_WORKSPACE"
MESSAGE=$(git log -1 --oneline --format=%s | sed 's/^.*: //')
if [[ "$MESSAGE" == *"#promote"* ]]; then
echo "Merging develop into stage"
git fetch --all
git checkout --track -b stage origin/stage
git merge develop
git push origin stage
git checkout develop
echo "Done"
else
echo "There is nothing to do here..."
fi
This approach was promising but Xcode Cloud does not have write permissions on the Github project and it is not possible to change it. The result of the script is here:
2022-08-28T21:37:40.713643324Z Merging develop into stage

2022-08-28T21:37:42.853020173Z Done
So the question is: Is there any method that could provide me automatic merge based on commit message content?
CodePudding user response:
I could not find any other solution than make a clean clone
and work on fresh git
repository. Everything is done in Xcode Cloud Workflow Here is a final ci_post_xcbuild.sh
that makes a merge to stage
if some message on develop
contains #promote
string.
#!/bin/sh
cd "$CI_WORKSPACE"
MESSAGE=$(git log -1 --oneline --format=%s | sed 's/^.*: //')
if [[ "$CI_BRANCH" == develop && "$MESSAGE" == *"#promote"* ]]; then
echo "Automerge develop branch into stage"
mkdir tempclone
cd tempclone
git clone https://x-access-token:[email protected]/github_account/github_repo_name.git
cd beforedaily-swiftui-app
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
git config --global user.name "Xcode Cloud"
git checkout --track -b stage origin/stage
git merge origin/develop
git push origin stage
cd ../../
rm -r tempclone
else
echo "There is nothing to do here..."
fi
This script works with Github Token as an environment value that could be setup in Workflow settings.
