fastlane: invalid option: --env=staging

I am using the Microsoft Task for Azure DevOps Pipelines that does something like this:

fastlane deliver --force -u *** -a com.test -i /Users/username/Documents/myagent/_work/13/a/AppStore.ipa -j ios -m /Users/username/Documents/myagent/_work/13/s/metadata -w /Users/macdev/Documents/myagent/_work/13/s/screenshots -k *** -e *** --submit_for_review true --automatic_release true --app_rating_config_path metadata/ratings.json

and failed with:

##[error]Error: fastlane failed with return code: 1

Strangly in the command line there is no env parameter so I don’t know why it fails with this error. But maybe the output is only a log and is not the command line that is called underneith.

The Task is available here: https://github.com/microsoft/app-store-vsts-extension

In their Repository there is also an issue open to this problem: https://github.com/microsoft/app-store-vsts-extension/issues/152

As a workaround I configure the task to only ever install 1.147.0 instead of the newest version which currently works.

I think we now have to use fastlane action --env staging

Yes, confirmative. Just remove the = do the trick.

Yes @liamnichols it was about --env=foo. So basically fastlane some_lane_using_dotenv --env=foo

@alubeck: Which command had you been running with --env=foo prior to this failing? I’m curious as I authored the change that probably caused this regression so sorry about that
