Overview

With the synthetics-test-automation-bitrise-step-upload-application step, you can upload a new version of your application to Datadog to run Synthetic tests against during your Bitrise CI, ensuring that all your teams using Bitrise can benefit from Synthetic tests at every stage of the software lifecycle. This step uses the Datadog CI Synthetics command, and requires that your application already exists.

Setup

This step is not available on the official Bitrise Step Library. To get started:

1. Add the following git URL to your workflow. See the official Bitrise documentation on how to do that though the Bitrise app. You can also configure it locally by referencing the git URL in your bitrise.yml file.

- git::https://github.com/DataDog/synthetics-test-automation-bitrise-step-upload-application.git@1.8.0:

2. Add your API and application keys to your secrets in Bitrise.
3. Configure your step inputs. You can also configure them in your bitrise.yml file. The only required inputs are the two secrets you configured earlier. For a comprehensive list of inputs, see the Inputs section.

How to use this step locally

You can run this step directly using the Bitrise CLI.

To run this step locally:

1. Open your terminal or command line.
2. git clone the Bitrise repository.
3. cd into the directory of the step (the one you just git cloned).
4. Create a .bitrise.secrets.yml file in the same directory of bitrise.yml. The .bitrise.secrets.yml file is a Git-ignored file, so you can store your secrets in it.
5. Check the bitrise.yml file for any secret you should set in .bitrise.secrets.yml.
6. Once you have the required secret parameters in your .bitrise.secrets.yml file, run this step with the Bitrise CLI with bitrise run test.

An example .bitrise.secrets.yml file:

envs:
- A_SECRET_PARAM_ONE: the value for secret one
- A_SECRET_PARAM_TWO: the value for secret two

Usage

Example task using a global configuration override with configPath

This task overrides the path to the global datadog-ci.config.json file.

- git::https://github.com/DataDog/synthetics-test-automation-bitrise-step-upload-application.git@1.8.0:
   inputs:
   - api_key: <DATADOG_API_KEY>
   - app_key: <DATADOG_APP_KEY>
   - config_path: './synthetics-config.json'

For an example configuration file, see the global.config.json file.

Example including all possible configurations

For reference, this is an example of a complete configuration:

- git::https://github.com/DataDog/synthetics-test-automation-bitrise-step-upload-application.git@1.8.0:
   inputs:
   - api_key: <DATADOG_API_KEY>
   - app_key: <DATADOG_APP_KEY>
   - config_path: './global.config.json'
   - latest: true
   - mobile_application_version_id: '123-123-123'
   - mobile_application_version_file_path: 'path/to/application.apk'
   - site: 'datadoghq.com'
   - version_name: 'example 1.0'
