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 create_pull_request action generates the following Lane Variables:

SharedValue Description
SharedValues::CREATE_PULL_REQUEST_HTML_URL The HTML URL to the created pull request
SharedValues::CREATE_PULL_REQUEST_NUMBER The identifier number of the created pull request

To get more information check the Lanes documentation.


Documentation

To show the documentation in your terminal, run

fastlane action create_pull_request

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 create_pull_request

To pass parameters, make use of the : symbol, for example

fastlane run create_pull_request 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
