I'm trying to set up CI on Microsoft's Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) that includes AWS CLI task. I have some steps for building an iOS app and those steps are successfully executed. Then, I want to upload generated .ipa files to AWS Device Farm using AWS CLI commands.
To upload files to AWS, I followed this documentation, where it is stated that I have to run aws devicefarm create-upload ... command first. This command is executed successfully on VSTS and it outputs JSON formatted response, like this:
{
"upload": {
"arn": "arn:aws:devicefarm:us-west-2:123456789012:upload:070fc3ca-7ec1-4741-9c1f-d3e044efc506/dd72723a-ae9e-4087-09e6-f4cea3599514",
"name": "MyAppiOSUITests_20180309.3.ipa",
"created": 1520601466.978,
"type": "IOS_APP",
"status": "INITIALIZED",
"url": "https://prod-us-west-2-uploads.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/arn%3Aaws%3Adevicefarm%3Aus-west-2%3A123456789012%3Aproject%3A070fc3ca-c7e1-4471-91cf-d3e4efc50604/uploads/arn%3Aaws%3Adevicefarm%3Aus-west-2%3A123456789012%3Aupload%3A070fc3ca-7ec1-4741-9c1f-d3e044efc506/dd72723a-ae9e-4087-09e6-f4cea3599514/app.apk?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Date=20170824T224008Z&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Expires=86400&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAEXAMPLEPBUMBC3GA%2F20170824%2Fus-west-2%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Signature=05050370c38894ef5bd09f5d009f36fc8f96fa4bb04e1bba9aca71b8dbe49a0f"
}
}
This basically means that this command just prepares upload and to upload real file, I have to do HTTP PUT afterwards (using curl as suggested).
In that JSON response I get url object whose value is a URL that I have to send HTTP POST request with the file I want to upload, like this:
curl -T MyAppiOSUITests_20180309.3.ipa "https://prod-us-west-2-uploads.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/arn%3Aaws%3Adevicefarm%3Aus-west-2%3A123456789012%3Aproject%3A070fc3ca-c7e1-4471-91cf-d3e4efc50604/uploads/arn%3Aaws%3Adevicefarm%3Aus-west-2%3A123456789012%3Aupload%3A070fc3ca-7ec1-4741-9c1f-d3e044efc506/dd72723a-ae9e-4087-09e6-f4cea3599514/app.apk?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Date=20170824T224008Z&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Expires=86400&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAEXAMPLEPBUMBC3GA%2F20170824%2Fus-west-2%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Signature=05050370c38894ef5bd09f5d009f36fc8f96fa4bb04e1bba9aca71b8dbe49a0f"
Problem is that I have to use two tasks (aws and curl) to upload single file, where the second one depends on the output of the first one. How can I save output between VSTS build tasks (and parse it to get just value of url object) and pass that output to another task? Or, can I avoid using curl and just use aws tool with single command to upload file to Device Farm?
Note: I'm using Mac powered agent that is connected to VSTS, so all of these commands are executed on OS X.
Hello I'm not overly familiar with VSTS, but I see you're using a mac, so if you want a full BASH implementation you could do something like.
var=$(cat file.txt | jq -r '.upload.url')
curl -T TEST.ipa $var
