Waldo App

How Waldo syncs your branch information?

When you are coding on a feature branch, your changes are not yet visible to the rest of your team. As such, you cannot safely update a test globally to accommodate the changes you are introducing. If you do, the updated test will very likely start breaking for any other developer on your team who depends on that particular test.

To efficiently understand the structure of the branches in your repository, Waldo needs to have access to the git information relevant to your app. Specifically, Waldo must be able to:

• associate each build you upload with a particular git branch and commit sha,
• read the git history for this specific commit sha,
• read the git merge history for your repository as a whole.

Thus, in order to use branch support in Waldo, you must:

• connect your Bitbucket account to Waldo with the latest set of permissions,
• grant access to the different git repositories you use to build your apps,
• use the latest available Waldo CLI.
