Quasar Electron Builder Action

Quasar Electron Builder Action

This is a modified work of https://github.com/samuelmeuli/action-electron-builder so that it can support Quasar framework.

3. Add a workflow file to your project (e.g. .github/workflows/build.yml):

   name: Build/release
   
   on: push
   
   jobs:
     release:
       runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}
   
       strategy:
         matrix:
           os: [macos-latest, ubuntu-latest, windows-latest]
   
       steps:
         - name: Check out Git repository
           uses: actions/checkout@v1
   
         - name: Install Node.js, NPM and Yarn
           uses: actions/setup-node@v1
           with:
             node-version: 10
   
         - name: Quasar Electron Builder Action
           uses: vedaprakashms/[email protected]
           with:
             # GitHub token, automatically provided to the action
             # (No need to define this secret in the repo settings)
             github_token: ${{ secrets.github_token }}
   
             # If the commit is tagged with a version (e.g. "v1.0.0"),
             # release the app after building
             release: ${{ startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/v') }}

Usage

Building

Using this the workflow above, GitHub will build your app every time you push a commit.

Releasing

When you want to create a new release, follow these steps:

1. Update the version in your project's package.json file (e.g. 1.2.3)
2. Commit that change (git commit -am v1.2.3)
3. Tag your commit (git tag v1.2.3). Make sure your tag name's format is v*.*.*. Your workflow will use this tag to detect when to create a release
4. Push your changes to GitHub (git push && git push --tags)

After building successfully, the action will publish your release artifacts. By default, a new release draft will be created on GitHub with download links for your app. If you want to change this behavior, have a look at the electron-builder docs.

Configuration

Options

You can configure the action further with the following options:

• package_root: Directory where NPM/Yarn commands should be run (default: ".")
• build_script_name: Name of the optional NPM build script which is executed before electron-builder (default: "build")
• skip_build: Whether the action should execute the NPM build script before running electron-builder
• use_vue_cli: Whether to run electron-builder using the Vue CLI plugin instead of calling the command directly
• args: Other arguments to pass to the electron-builder command, e.g. configuration overrides (default: "")
• max_attempts: Maximum number of attempts for completing the build and release step (default: 1)

See action.yml for a list of all possible input variables.

All other options are same as action electron.
