Pilot fails in a lane, but run manually works fine about pilot

[KrauseFx]

lane :codesign do

That should probably be a private_lane :codesign do

Did I understand correctly: after running gym you use pilot in your lane. pilot throws this error. Then you immediately run pilot manually from the command line with the same parameters and it works?

Good to know!

Yes. So my lane runs gym with a custom IPA name, then immediately runs pilot. I expected gym to pass this IPA name onto pilot action, but it seems for some reason it's not happening. It seems to pick up my normal beta/release app instead.

If I call pilot manually, by telling it the ipa location, it works fine. If I edit my lane so I include the ipa path, then all works as expected.

So to summarise, it seems as though gym isn't correctly setting the ipa path variable when using a custom ipa path.

Did you check, is the ipa_path correct with :IPA_OUTPUT_PATH=>"/path/to/build/MusicLife-Alpha.ipa"? If you were to upload this exact file manually it works?

[squarefrog]

If I edit the Fastfile to use that output path like below:

pilot(app_identifier: "uk.co.arcam.nmusiclife", ipa: "build/MusicLife-Alpha.ipa")

It works fine. Manually works fine too. It's only when I don't specify the ipa argument in pilot that things fall apart.

[KrauseFx]

Could you try updating to the latest pilot from today and see if that works?

[squarefrog]

I'm out of office today but I'll try on Monday and report back!

[squarefrog]

Looking at the commit it seems to make the ipa argument required, yet the option is marked as optional?

Taking a step back I wonder if the better route for my case is to do the following:

ipa = gym(...)
pilot(..., ipa: ipa)

Do you know if gym returns the ipa path as its return value?

[KrauseFx]

Yes, it returns the absolute path to the ipa file, that should work 👍

[squarefrog]

Awesome, I'll do that then. Cheers! 🍻
