distribute release; should output the ID of the release #2484

Closed gustafnilklint closed 2 months ago

gustafnilklint commented 6 months ago

Description

After distributing a release to AppCenter one might need to be able to refer to this specific release. In previos version of appcenter-cli you could use --debug and then parse out the id from the output.

Ideally the id of the release should be returned on separately.

Repro Steps

Please list the steps used to reproduce your issue.

  1. npx appcenter distribute release --token *** --app user/appName --file build/app.ipa --group TESTERS --release-notes 'Changes' --silent --debug

Expected behavior

Somewhere in the output I'd expect to find the ID of this release. The ID is what is unique in direct links to install this release: h t t p s : / / install.appcenter.ms/users/username/apps/appname/releases/1234

Details

As I mentioned, this was possible in version 2.x.x of the cli by specifying --debug flag. In version 3, debug flag does not output anything similar. Ideally a separate flag could make this even more convenient by returning the ID without all the noise produced by --debug flag

Hello @gustafnilklint thank you for reaching out. In order to extract specific logs like those including release id please enable debug logs with environment variable like stated here. For example the command you are trying to use would look like

DEBUG="appcenter-cli:commands:distribute:release"
appcenter release --token *** --app user/appName --file build/app.ipa --group TESTERS --release-notes 'Changes'

Let me know if you were able to extract the needed information from the output.
