How to pass list of devices as arguments to the lane

Arrays can be passed as a comma delimited string (e.g. param:"1,2,3").

It's not possible to pass an array via the command line for now, sorry. You'll have to define it in your Fastfile for now, you could manually build something to parse the CLI options differently though, however it's out of the scope for this project.

Assuming you have 2-3 configurations, it's probably easiest to just have multiple lanes each with a different list.

@KrauseFx thanks for this answer! it actually looks clean to separate them.

[lukasondrak96]

@KrauseFx Is this still true? You cannot pass an array via command line? Thanks

That's how I've managed to do this:

lane :github_commit_and_pull_request do|options
       schemes_list = JSON.parse(options[:schemes_list])
       schemes_list.each do |scheme|
           ....
       end    
...
end

Call this lane with parameter value with a JSON array as the string value:
bundle exec fastlane github_commit_and_pull_request schemes_list:'["test","test"]'
