All logged in users should be able to download build artifacts

Ohh ok But what if I wanted to make it a release I mean change the yaml file so that it automatically publishes the artifact as a release

dan1st•5d ago

add it as a release artifact i.e. you upload it to the release

asdruOP•5d ago

i know how to do that manually, but i was hoping to find a way to automate the process? push->build jar->upload jar as release

dan1st•5d ago

yeah, GH actions can do that you could automatically invoke a workflow whenever you create a release or do something like let GH actions create a release including the artifact every time you push

asdruOP•5d ago

yeah that'd be ideal, i tried messing with the yml file but could figure out how

dan1st•5d ago

? you just add another step

asdruOP•5d ago

 - name: Build
        run: echo ${{ github.sha }} > Release.txt
      - name: Test
        run: cat Release.txt
      - name: Release
        uses: softprops/action-gh-release@v2
        if: startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/')
        with:
          files: Release.txt

 - name: Build
        run: echo ${{ github.sha }} > Release.txt
      - name: Test
        run: cat Release.txt
      - name: Release
        uses: softprops/action-gh-release@v2
        if: startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/')
        with:
          files: Release.txt

this part?

dan1st•5d ago

      - name: Release
        uses: softprops/action-gh-release@v2
        if: ${{ (github.event_name == 'push' && github.ref == 'refs/heads/master') }}
        with:
          body: This is your body here
          files: staging/*.jar

      - name: Release
        uses: softprops/action-gh-release@v2
        if: ${{ (github.event_name == 'push' && github.ref == 'refs/heads/master') }}
        with:
          body: This is your body here
          files: staging/*.jar

something like that well you don't want to upload Release.txt, right? and I don't think you want to only do it on pushing tags
