Managing Secrets

There might be cases where you don't want to store certain values in a flow file itself (i.e. user name, password, etc.). Maestro solves that by taking such parameters as variables and so does Robin.

Maestro CLI

Pass in parameters using the -e option:

maestro cloud \
  --api-key <apiKey>
  --project-id <projectId>
  -e USERNAME=$TEST_USERNAME \
  -e PASSWORD=$TEST_PASSWORD \
  <appFile> .maestro/

Github Action

Parameters are provided as multiline env field

- uses: mobile-dev-inc/action-maestro-cloud@v1
      with:
        api-key: ${{ secrets.MOBILE_DEV_API_KEY }}
        app-file: <path to APK or iOS Simulator build>
        env: |
            USERNAME=${{ secrets.TEST_USERNAME }}
            PASSWORD=${{ secrets.TEST_PASSWORD }}

Using variables in your flows

Once you have defined the variables, you can refer to them in your flows:

appId: your.app.id
---
- launchApp
- inputText: ${USERNAME}
- tapOn: Next
- inputText: ${PASSWORD}
