Fastlane: Could not find action, lane or variable '​'

Question

When running bundle exec fastlane build, fastlane prints the following error message (The character between the quotes is U+200B zero width space):

[!] Could not find action, lane or variable '​'. Check out the documentation for more details: https://docs.fastlane.tools/actions

Fastlane: 2.130.0
Gem: 3.0.6

Did anyone ever experience this problem? If yes, how did you fix it?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Found the problem: I had a zero-width space character somewhere in my Fastfile.

Answer 2

This is because your Gem File doesn't contained fastlane folder path got to project folder and find Gemfile click Edit and update the same.

Before Update

source "https://rubygems.org"

gem "fastlane"

plugins_path = File.join(File.dirname(FILE), '.', 'Pluginfile') eval_gemfile(plugins_path) if File.exist?(plugins_path)

After Update

source "https://rubygems.org"

gem "fastlane"

plugins_path = File.join(File.dirname(FILE), 'fastlane', 'Pluginfile') eval_gemfile(plugins_path) if File.exist?(plugins_path)

In My case it showed could not find action, lane or variable 'appcenter_upload' So I had to install the AppCenter plugin : using fastlane add_plugin appcenter
