Running checks in Codemagic

Codemagic builds on macOS machines it hosts. mobster ci init --host codemagic writes the workflow. CI has the parts every host shares.

Set it up

mobster ci init --host codemagic

It writes codemagic.yaml. When that file exists, it leaves it as it is and writes the workflow to .mobster/hosts/codemagic.yaml for you to merge. Then put MOBSTER_CI_TOKEN in a variable group named mobster (Codemagic › Teams › Global variables and secrets), commit the file and open a pull request.

codemagic.yaml

workflows:
  mobster:
    name: Mobster checks
    instance_type: mac_mini_m2
    max_build_duration: 60
    triggering:
      events:
        - pull_request
    environment:
      groups:
        - mobster
      vars:
        MOBSTER: /Applications/Mobster.app/Contents/MacOS/mobster-agent
        MOBSTER_BASE_BRANCH: main   # the branch your pull requests merge into
    scripts:
      - name: Install Mobster
        script: brew install --cask radishsoftware/tap/mobster-app
      - name: Prepare a simulator
        script: $MOBSTER sim doctor --fix
      - name: Test what this PR changed
        script: $MOBSTER ci run
    artifacts:
      - .mobster/ci/**

Set MOBSTER_BASE_BRANCH to the branch your pull requests merge into. The report, the JUnit file and the comment text are the build’s artifacts. Codemagic gets no comment from Mobster: GitHub and GitLab are the hosts where mobster ci comment posts. The job signs in with a CI token, not with Mobster for Mac. It is part of your plan, adds no seat and counts no runs. It licenses simulator checks only (mobster ci run and mobster test), it ends after 90 days unless you choose up to 365, and it never licenses an iPhone. Make one with mobster account ci-token create NAME or in the console under Settings › CI tokens, and revoke it from either. Store it as MOBSTER_CI_TOKEN, as a secret of the service. mobster ci doctor in the job checks that it is live and says what to fix if it isn’t.

What this runner doesn’t do

A hosted Mac has no iPhone, so the checks run on simulators. To test on a phone, use a Mac of yours.
