fnkr / github-action-ghr Goto Github PK

I would like to upload the entire directory as one zip file. E.g. dist/package-a should be uploaded as package-a.zip, or perhaps another name I could set in the options.

Is that supported right now? Using the GHR_COMPRESS and GHR_PATH results in multiple uploads.

This action creates a release for a given tag, when it doesn’t exist. Would it possible to (have an option to) mark this release as a draft release, i.e. not public?

This is the result of what happens when clicking “Save draft” instead of “Publish Release” when editing a release manually. Other CI providers also provide this option, e.g. appveyor

workflow:

name: test

on:
  watch:
    types: [started] # does this have something to do with it?

jobs:
  download:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      with:
        ref: 'refs/tags/1.0' # Explicitly referencing a tag

    - name: tasks
      run: |
          echo ${{ github.ref }} > ref.txt
          cat ref.txt # outputs "refs/heads/master"

    - name: Release
      uses: fnkr/github-action-ghr@v1
#       if: startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/') # if I uncomment this the step is skipped
      env:
        GHR_COMPRESS: zip
        GHR_PATH: ref.txt
        GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

@fnkr Please help. I'm new to github actions and don't know how checkout action works.

It is a private repo which I edit only using the Github's online editor. Do I have to create tags locally and then push?

Cannot name secret GITHUB_TOKEN, or else it gives me the following warning,

Failed to add secret. Name is invalid.

Not sure which permissions are required for creating a personal access token for this.

Hello,

is this "action" multiplatform, so it would run on all platforms supported by GH Actions? (Ubuntu, OSX, Windows)

• and if so, could you please add .zip as a compression method (for Windows, but common everywhere)?

The actual ghr provides -r parameter to provide name of repository make release to.
But this action seems to be using the current repository for which the action is running.

It would be great if you can provide configurable -r parameter also.

I've been looking for a long time for a gh action that can update releases, wipe previous tags, and change release body&title... seems like yours is what I want, but it has the delete tag feature on main branch, and the other features I want on the options one...

thanks in advance
