Flutter Extension for Azure DevOps

Latest Flutter tasks for Azure DevOps.

Initially a fork maintained by me of the awesome work done by original author Github. As per people's request, this is now a separate repo as this is now an advanced/latest extension with more features.

NOTE : I will no longer maintain my fork instead this repository will be updated, as this has developed into a lot more than the original extension.

Support

PRs are always welcome. Feel free to create an issue if you face any problem.

Installation & Usage

Installation can be done using Visual Studio MarketPlace. Add the tasks to your build definition.

Pipeline Tasks

• (Optional). Set buildName (like 1.2.3) that will override the manifest's one.
• (Optional). Set buildNumber (like 12) that will override the manifest's one. Use $(Build.BuildNumber) to use build number as auto incremental number.
• (Optional). Set buildFlavour (like development) to specify a build flavour. Must match Android Gradle flavor definition or XCode scheme.
• (Optional). Set entryPoint to override the main entry point file of the application. Default is 'lib/main.dart'.

• (Optional). Set debugMode if you wish to override the default release mode for the build. Default is false. This flag cannot be combined with profileMode=true.
• (Optional). Set profileMode if you wish to add the --profile flag to the build. Default is false. This flag cannot be combined with debugMode=true.
• (Optional). Set dartDefine compile-time variables, use as : foo=bar (use 'dartDefineMulti' for multiple args)"
• (Optional). Set dartDefineMulti compile-time variables, use as (space separated) : foo=bar key1=val1 key2=val2 (use for multiple --dart-define arguments)"
• (Optional). Set dartDefineMultiArgSeparator Separator used in params passed to dartDefineMulti. Default is single space (' ')
• (Optional). Set extraArgs if you want to pass more official/custom command arguments, Space Separated. Example: "--no-tree-shake-icons --publish-to-play"
• (Optional). Set extraArgsSeparator Separator used in params passed to extraArgs. Default is single space (' ')
• (Android).(Optional). Set apkTargetPlatform for the Android platform architecture target: default (default set by Flutter sdk) android-arm , android-arm64, android-x86, android-x64, custom.
• (Android).(Optional). Set customApkTargetPosition for the custom target platform architecture, provide your own combination (comma separated) of valid values. Example like android-arm,android-arm64,android-x64
• (Android).(Optional). Set the build mode splitPerAbi to compile the code into an APK per target ABI. Otherwise the build will result in a single APK.
• (iOS).(Optional). Set iosTargetPlatform for the iOS target: device (default), simulator.

• (Optional). Set updateGoldens: whether matchesGoldenFile() calls within your test methods should update the golden files rather than test for an existing match.
• (Optional). Set generateCodeCoverageReport to generate code coverage report based on tests in the project. The report file is located in the specified projectDirectory in coverage/lcov.info.
• (Optional). Set concurrency to specify the number of concurrent test processes to run. Default is 6.

Environment Variables

Environment variables created by the Install or Env tasks are :

• $(FlutterToolPath) - can be used as "$(FlutterToolPath)/flutter packages get"
• $(FlutterPubCachePath) can be used as "$(FlutterPubCachePath)/pubver set $(Version)"
• $(DartToolPath) - can be used as "$(DartToolPath)/dart prog.dart arg1"

FAQ

First, please read the WIKI and then FAQs before opening any new issues.

Flutter command isn't recognized ?

Make sure that you have a Flutter Install at the beginning of your definition.

Can I run a custom Flutter command ?

Yes, right after the Flutter Install task, a FlutterToolPath environment variable points to the bin of the Flutter SDK directory. You just have to use $(FlutterToolPath) in your following tasks. Example: "$(FlutterToolPath)/flutter packages get"

Can I run Dart program ?

Yes, right after the Flutter Install task, a DartToolPath environment variable points to the bin of the Dart SDK directory. You just have to use $(DartToolPath) in your following tasks. Example: "$(DartToolPath)/dart program.dart arg1 arg2"

Can I access Flutter's pub-cache ?

Yes, right after the Flutter Install task, a FlutterPubCachePath environment variable points to the pub-cache directory that Flutter installs all depdencies. You just have to use $(FlutterPubCachePath) in your following tasks. Example: "$(FlutterPubCachePath)/pubver set $(Version)"
