Espresso | Github App

In order for the Github App to work successfully with our Espresso SDK, the following needs to happen:

Adding the plugin to your project

1. Add the URL for our artifactory to the buildscript -> repositories section of the root build.gradle file.

buildscript {

   …
  ...

   repositories {

       …
      ...

       maven {

           url 'https://applitools.jfrog.io/artifactory/Android/'

       }

   }

   …

   ...

}

2. 
Add classpath of the plugin to the buildscript -> dependencies section of the root build.gradle file.

buildscript {

   ...

   ...

   dependencies {

       ...

       ...

       classpath 'com.applitools:espresso-git-integration:1.0'

   }

}

Applying the plugin

1. Apply plugin in the application build.gradle file. Add the next line at the top of build.gradle.

apply plugin: 'com.applitools.espresso.git'

2. Add Gradle task in the application build.gradle file that will create a variable in the BuildConfig class and we will use it inside Eyes SDK

task applitoolsGitIntegration {

   gitBranches {

       process()

       android.defaultConfig.buildConfigField "String", "APPLITOOLS_SCM_MERGE_BASE_TIME", "\"" + gitBranches + "\""

   }

}

That’s it! When you set a batch ID to your project, the build process will automatically grab the correct branches for you and set them in your Eyes tests.
