Xcode should set an environment variable with the action selected from the Product menu

Product:Developer Tools Product Version:5.1.1 (5B1008)
Classification:Enhancement Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
I would like to run certain script phases only when Product->Analyze is selected. Mostly these would be 3rd-party tools like ObjClean and Faux Pas. There’s no reliable way to tell from a script phase that analyze was selected vs. build.

Expected Results:
I would have expected the ACTION env var to be set to the command used in Xcode but I realize that’s probably overloaded at this point. Perhaps setting XCODE_ACTION would work?

Actual Results:
With a stock configuration the only hint that we’re analyzing instead of building is that these are set
  export RUN_CLANG_STATIC_ANALYZER=YES
  export CLANG_STATIC_ANALYZER_MODE=deep

Obviously these can’t be relied on since they can be changed in build settings.

This can be done today as a scheme pre- or post- action, and that is the recommended way to do what you are trying to do. Go to Edit Scheme Select the Analyze action Select the pre- or post- action, add a script.
