Provide shell access for debugging failed builds

From Andrew Hershberger on 2016/02/29 16:41:40 +0000

CircleCI has a feature (albeit only for Android builds at the moment), where when a build fails, it will leave the container running so you can ssh in and debug your workflow. Providing similar functionality on Bitrise would significantly speed up the process of trying to integrate custom script steps into a workflow.

Or any other debug feature like taking a screenshot

Note: in case of the Android/Linux stack you can run the same environment locally: http://devcenter.bitrise.io/docker/run-your-build-locally-in-docker/

In case of Mac stacks, we’re working on a tool which should make this possible (to use the same environment locally): https://github.com/bitrise-tools/replica

But in any case, you can use the Bitrise CLI to run the same build configuration locally: http://devcenter.bitrise.io/bitrise-cli/
