Codemagic API Returning Deleted GitHub Branches After Deletion

[Imgkl]

If you are looking for help, please confirm the following...

• I confirm I have searched the Docs, Codemagic Sample Projects, and GitHub Discussions.
• I confirm the software versions on my local computer match the ones in CI environment (e.g. Xcode version, Gradle version). See here
• I confirm I am able to do a fresh clone of the repository and build the project on my local computer.

Which mobile framework are you using?

Flutter (Dart)

Steps to reproduce

1. Set up a repository:

   • Ensure that you have a GitHub repository connected to Codemagic, with multiple branches.

2. Trigger API call:

   • Make a call to the Codemagic API endpoint https://api.codemagic.io/apps to retrieve the list of branches for the repository.
   • Verify that all the branches in the repository are reflected in the API response.

3. Delete a branch on GitHub:

   • Go to the GitHub repository and delete one or more branches.

4. Check API response again:

   • Without refreshing the Codemagic dashboard, make another call to the Codemagic API to retrieve the list of branches.
   • Observe that the deleted branches are still being returned in the API response.

5. Refresh Codemagic dashboard:

   • Manually refresh the Codemagic dashboard by going to the app's page.
   • After the dashboard refresh, make another API call to fetch the branches.

6. Compare results:

   • Notice that after refreshing the dashboard, the deleted branches are no longer present in the API response, indicating the branch list is only updated after a manual refresh on the dashboard.

Expected results

• When a branch is deleted from the connected GitHub repository, the Codemagic API should reflect this change immediately.
• The deleted branches should no longer appear in the API response after deletion, without requiring a manual refresh of the Codemagic dashboard.

Actual results

• After deleting a branch from the connected GitHub repository, the Codemagic API continues to return the deleted branch in the API response.
• The deleted branch remains visible in the API response until a manual refresh of the Codemagic dashboard is performed.

Build id (optional)

Try by refreshing the repository connection, click on Update your repository URL button in the repository settings, then check again if it's returning the deleted branches.

Hey @dtrdic,

Thanks for pointing this out. Though I was in need of API solution where we refresh and get the updated git branches through API. I was able to get the endpoint through the above mentioned.

For anyone who is looking for a solution for the same issue. Here is the cURL:

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.codemagic.io/apps/${APP_ID}/branches' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'x-auth-token: <API-TOKEN>'

Replace the APP_ID and API_TOKEN with the appropriate values, then you are good to go.
