Add fallback environment variables about commit-info HOT 11 CLOSED

It took me time to know that Cypress is expecting .git folder to be there to get all git related info, because when I tried it for the first time (without docker-compose), I was able to see commit author and message in the dashboard, but once I integrated it with docker-compose I wasn't able.

I would suggest to add this information clearly as part of the documentation, and I'd be happy to be able to pass them as environment variables (for security reasons)

from commit-info.

and I wouldn't say weird environment though :D

hehe, yeah, weird is a strong word, but this is a good feature I think.

@mshaaban088 This is a great idea to add to the documentation.

I created a new issue in our docs to document collecting git info here: cypress-io/cypress-documentation#1176. Our documentation is open source and contributions are welcome. 😄

@bahmutov ;)

Version 2.1.0 has been published to NPM. The full release note can be found at commit-info/releases/tag/v2.1.0.

Tip: safely upgrade dependency @cypress/commit-info in your project using next-update

from commit-info.

@bahmutov @cypress/commit-info is not a direct dependency of cypress, and next-update says nothing new is available. That means I cannot use this feature unless @packages/server upgraded @cypress/commit-info to the new version. Did I get it right?

@bahmutov thanks for the fast response.
Do you have ETA, or?

from commit-info.

from commit-info.

Got it.
Thanks again
