Lane Variables
Actions can communicate with each other using a shared hash lane_context, that can be accessed in other actions, plugins or your lanes: lane_context[SharedValues:XYZ]. The get_version_number action generates the following Lane Variables:
| SharedValue | Description |
|---|---|
SharedValues::VERSION_NUMBER |
The version number |
To get more information check the Lanes documentation.
Documentation
To show the documentation in your terminal, run
fastlane action get_version_number
CLI
It is recommended to add the above action into your Fastfile, however sometimes you might want to run one-offs. To do so, you can run the following command from your terminal
fastlane run get_version_number
To pass parameters, make use of the : symbol, for example
fastlane run get_version_number parameter1:"value1" parameter2:"value2"
It's important to note that the CLI supports primitive types like integers, floats, booleans, and strings. Arrays can be passed as a comma delimited string (e.g. param:"1,2,3"). Hashes are not currently supported.
It is recommended to add all fastlane actions you use to your Fastfile.
Source code
This action, just like the rest of fastlane, is fully open source, view the source code on GitHub
