We ship a new bitrise cli version on the second Tuesday of every month.
The new release will be available on the bitrise.io
virtual machines on the weekend after the CLI release,
unless we discover a serious bug / regression.

Read on to learn more about this month’s Bitrise CLI release and about the changes around bitrise tools and steps.

New version of Bitrise CLI (1.7.0)

empty workflow id validation

From now on bitrise-cli will fail if the bitrise configuration (bitrise.yml) contains workflow with empty workflow id.

format_version: "3"
default_step_lib_source: https://github.com/bitrise-io/bitrise-steplib.git

workflows:
  "":
    steps:
    - script:

git step’s default branch is master

If you use a step from its git source without specifying the branch to use:

format_version: "3"
default_step_lib_source: https://github.com/bitrise-io/bitrise-steplib.git

workflows:
  primary:
    steps:
    - git::https://github.com/bitrise-io/steps-script.git:

bitrise will activate and use the step repo’s master branch.

support for cross-device file moving

In previous cli versions, if a user home directory was on different device from the os temporary directory, you received the following error message during the bitrise setup process: invalid cross-device link. This version uses a cross-device compatible file moving function.

progress indicator

bitrise plugin install and update commands take some time to finish as bitrise-cli git clones the plugin source repository and then downloads and installs the plugin’s compiled binary. We added a loading indicator to these commands.
