Bitrise - Scan your code for feature flag usages

ConfigCat's Bitrise Step has the ability to scan your source code for feature flag and setting usages and upload the found code references to ConfigCat.

This feature makes the elimination of the technical debt easier, as it can show which repositories reference your feature flags and settings in one centralized place on your Dashboard.

Here you can find more details about how this feature works.

This section describes how to use ConfigCat's Bitrise Step to automatically scan your source code for feature flag and setting usages and upload the found code references to ConfigCat. Bitrise is full-featured mobile CI/CD platform. You can find more information about Bitrise Steps here.

Setup

1. Create a new ConfigCat Management API credential and store its values in secure pipeline variables with the following names: CONFIGCAT_API_USER, CONFIGCAT_API_PASS.

   

2. Get your selected Config's ID.

3. Add the following step to the workflows section of your bitrise.yml file. Don't forget to replace the PASTE-YOUR-CONFIG-ID-HERE value with your actual Config ID.

   - configcat-feature-flag-sync@0:
     inputs:
       - configcat_config_id: 'PASTE-YOUR-CONFIG-ID-HERE' # required
       # - line-count: 3           # optional
       # - sub-folder: 'src'       # optional
       # - exclude-keys: >         # optional
       #   flag_key_to_exclude_1
       #   flag_key_to_exclude_2
       # - alias-patterns: "(\w+) = :CC_KEY,const (\w+) = feature_flags\.enabled\(:CC_KEY\)" # optional
       # - usage-patterns: feature_flags\.enabled\(:CC_KEY\)   # optional
       # - verbose: true           # optional

4. Commit & push your changes.

Scan reports are uploaded for each branch of your repository that triggers the job.
