fix: shorebird hangs when run under fastlane

[eseidel]

"""
I included the shorebird command in my fastlane pipeline for ease of use and this is where it never continues after it packages everything up. I then tried running the command outside of fastlane (thinking it might be some directory issue, it occured in the past with different tools), and that's when I found out why it never finished via fastlane. Shorebird asks you if you want to create a new release ("Would you like to continue?"), and that question is not visible if you run the command via fastlane. So just had to add the --force command for the release build that I was doing via fastlane and everything works. 😂
"""

1. We should detect this case (fastlane is pretty common, or was at one point). And presumably we're headless in that environment (don't have a TERM?)
2. We should discourage use of --force and instead some sort of --no-confirm flag for situations like this we can't detect.

[eseidel]

I think the right thing here is for us (or mason_logger) to detect that it's running headless and never hang in confirm.

Got another report of this just now with #1841.

Does anyone know of an example project using fastlane with Flutter that we should work from?

Otherwise I guess we can build one from https://docs.flutter.dev/deployment/cd#fastlane

[eseidel]

A workaround for now could be to run:

yes | shorebird release android

since yes will send "y" any time prompted.

Any update on this ?

[bryanoltman]

A fix has been merged to our main branch and will go out in the next release (today or tomorrow)

[vivaan-vama]

Thanks for the update! can you confirm what steps we need to take to auto confirm ?

[bryanoltman]

None, you will just need to update to the latest version when we release.

[bryanoltman]

In the meantime, you can set CI=true as an environment variable and it will have the same effect as the new version. Once the new version is released, the environment variable won't be necessary.

Hi, Have you deployed the new release, if yes what exactly i have to pass now ?

[bryanoltman]

This has been deployed. It should just work with no changes on your side
