Maestro Cloud Action

Run your Flows on Robin or Maestro Cloud.

Using the action

Add the following to your workflow. Note that you can use the v1 tag if you want to keep using the latest version of the action, which will automatically resolve to all v1.minor.patch versions as they get published.

- uses: mobile-dev-inc/[email protected]
  with:
    api-key: ${{ secrets.ROBIN_API_KEY }}
    project-id: 'proj_01example0example1example2' # replace this with your actual project id
    app-file: <path_to_your_app_file>

Maestro Cloud vs Robin

The action can be used with both Robin and Maestro Cloud. Robin is the successor to Maestro Cloud, which is due to sunset on December 31st 2024. Robin is a drop-in replacement for Maestro Cloud, and is the enterprise-grade hosted Maestro execution platform built by the same team that builds Maestro.

Triggers

Trigger this action on (1) pushes to your main branch and (2) pull requests opened against your main branch:

on:
  push:
    branches: [master]
  pull_request:
    branches: [master]

If you need to use the pull_request_target trigger to support repo forks, check out the HEAD of the pull request to ensure that you're running the analysis against the changed code:

on:
  push:
    branches: [master]
  pull_request_target:
    branches: [master]
jobs:
  upload-to-mobile-dev:
    name: Run Flows on Robin
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
        with:
          ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha }} # Checkout PR HEAD

For more information on triggering workflows, check out GitHub's documentation.

Android

- uses: mobile-dev-inc/[email protected]
  with:
    api-key: ${{ secrets.ROBIN_API_KEY }}
    project-id: 'proj_01example0example1example2'
    app-file: app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk

app-file should point to an x86 compatible APK file, either directly to the file or a glob pattern matching the file name. When using a pattern, the first matched file will be used.

ProGuard Deobfuscation

Include the ProGuard mapping file to deobfuscate Android performance traces:

- uses: mobile-dev-inc/[email protected]
  with:
    api-key: ${{ secrets.ROBIN_API_KEY }}
    project-id: 'proj_01example0example1example2'
    app-file: app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk
    mapping-file: app/build/outputs/mapping/release/mapping.txt

iOS

- uses: mobile-dev-inc/[email protected]
  with:
    api-key: ${{ secrets.ROBIN_API_KEY }}
    project-id: 'proj_01example0example1example2'
    app-file: <app_name>.app
    mapping-file: <app_name>.app.dSYM

app-file should point to an x86 compatible Simulator .app build, either directly to the file or a glob pattern matching the file name. When using a pattern, the first matched file will be used.

.dSYM file

- uses: mobile-dev-inc/[email protected]
  with:
    api-key: ${{ secrets.ROBIN_API_KEY }}
    project-id: 'proj_01example0example1example2'
    app-file: <app_name>.app
    mapping-file: <app_name>.app.dSYM

mapping-file should point to generated .dSYM file (unique per build). more info here.

Custom workspace location

By default, the action is looking for a .maestro folder with Maestro flows in the root directory of the project. If you would like to customize this behaviour, you can override it with a workspace argument:

- uses: mobile-dev-inc/[email protected]
  with:
    api-key: ${{ secrets.ROBIN_API_KEY }}
    project-id: 'proj_01example0example1example2'
    app-file: app.zip
    workspace: myFlows/

Custom name

A name will automatically be provided according to the following order:

  1. If it is a Pull Request, use Pull Request title as name
  2. If it is a normal push, use commit message as name
  3. If for some reason the commit message is not available, use the commit SHA as name

If you want to override this behaviour and specify your own name, you can do so by setting the name argument:

- uses: mobile-dev-inc/[email protected]
  with:
    api-key: ${{ secrets.ROBIN_API_KEY }}
    project-id: 'proj_01example0example1example2'
    app-file: app.zip
    name: My Upload

Run in async mode

If you don't want the action to wait until the Upload has been completed as is the default behaviour, set the async argument to true:

- uses: mobile-dev-inc/[email protected]
  with:
    api-key: ${{ secrets.ROBIN_API_KEY }}
    project-id: 'proj_01example0example1example2'
    app-file: app.zip
    async: true

Alternatively, you might want to still wait for the action but would like to configure the timeout period, set timeout argument to a number of minutes:

- uses: mobile-dev-inc/[email protected]
  with:
    api-key: ${{ secrets.ROBIN_API_KEY }}
    project-id: 'proj_01example0example1example2'
    app-file: app.zip
    timeout: 90 # Wait for 90 minutes

Adding environment variables

If you want to pass environment variables along with your upload, add a multiline env argument:

- uses: mobile-dev-inc/[email protected]
  with:
    api-key: ${{ secrets.ROBIN_API_KEY }}
    project-id: 'proj_01example0example1example2'
    app-file: app.zip
    env: |
      USERNAME=<username>
      PASSWORD=<password>

Using tags

You can use Maestro Tags to filter which Flows to send:

You can either pass a single value, or comma-separated (,) values.

- uses: mobile-dev-inc/[email protected]
  with:
    api-key: ${{ secrets.ROBIN_API_KEY }}
    project-id: 'proj_01example0example1example2'
    app-file: app.zip
    include-tags: dev, pull-request
    exclude-tags: excludeTag

Specifying Android API Level

You can specify which Android API level to use when running using the android-api-level parameter.

On Robin, the default API level is 33 (Android 13). Refer to Robin docs for available Android emulator API levels. On Maestro Cloud, the default API level is 30 (Android 11) - docs here.

- uses: mobile-dev-inc/[email protected]
  with:
    api-key: ${{ secrets.ROBIN_API_KEY }}
    project-id: 'proj_01example0example1example2'
    app-file: app.apk
    android-api-level: 29

Specifying iOS version

You can specify which major iOS Version to use when running in Robin using the ios-version parameter.

On Robin, the default iOS version is 16. Refer to Robin docs for available iOS simulator versions. On Maestro Cloud, the default iOS version is 15 - docs here.

- uses: mobile-dev-inc/[email protected]
  with:
    api-key: ${{ secrets.ROBIN_API_KEY }}
    project-id: 'proj_01example0example1example2'
    app-file: app.zip
    ios-version: 16

Using an already uploaded App

You can use an already uploaded binary in Robin using the app-binary-id parameter.

      - id: upload
        uses: mobile-dev-inc/[email protected]
        with:
          api-key: ${{ secrets.ROBIN_API_KEY }}
          project-id: 'proj_01example0example1example2'
          app-file: app.zip

      - uses: mobile-dev-inc/[email protected]
        with:
          api-key: ${{ secrets.ROBIN_API_KEY }}
          project-id: 'proj_01example0example1example2'
          app-binary-id: ${{ steps.upload.outputs.MAESTRO_CLOUD_APP_BINARY_ID }}

Configuring the locale for the device where the flows will be executed

To switch the device locale on a remote device from a default one (en_US) device-locale parameter should be used. The value is a combination of lowercase ISO-639-1 code and uppercase ISO-3166-1 code, i.e. "de_DE" for Germany.

- uses: mobile-dev-inc/[email protected]
  with:
    api-key: ${{ secrets.ROBIN_API_KEY }}
    project-id: 'proj_01example0example1example2'
    app-file: app.zip
    device-locale: de_DE

Outputs

The following output variables are set by the action:

  • MAESTRO_CLOUD_CONSOLE_URL - link to the Maestro Cloud console (if using Maestro Cloud)
  • ROBIN_CONSOLE_URL - link to the Robin console (if using Robin)
  • MAESTRO_CLOUD_UPLOAD_STATUS - status of the Upload (not available in async mode)
  • MAESTRO_CLOUD_FLOW_RESULTS - list of Flows and their results (not available in async mode)
  • MAESTRO_CLOUD_APP_BINARY_ID - id of the binary uploaded (if using Maestro Cloud)
  • ROBIN_APP_BINARY_ID - id of the binary uploaded (if using Robin)

In order to access these variables you can use the following approach:

- id: upload
  uses: mobile-dev-inc/[email protected]
  with:
    api-key: ${{ secrets.ROBIN_API_KEY }}
    project-id: 'proj_01example0example1example2'
    app-file: <your_app_file>
    # ... any other parameters

- name: Access Outputs
  if: always()
  run: |
    echo "Console URL: ${{ steps.upload.outputs.MAESTRO_CLOUD_CONSOLE_URL }}"
    echo "Flow Results: ${{ steps.upload.outputs.MAESTRO_CLOUD_FLOW_RESULTS }}"
    echo "Upload Status: ${{ steps.upload.outputs.MAESTRO_CLOUD_UPLOAD_STATUS }}"
    echo "App Binary ID: ${{ steps.upload.outputs.MAESTRO_CLOUD_APP_BINARY_ID }}"

Output types

  • MAESTRO_CLOUD_UPLOAD_STATUS

    Any of the following values:

    PENDING
    PREPARING
    INSTALLING
    RUNNING
    SUCCESS
    ERROR
