Reloaded Publish Action

This GitHub Action is designed to streamline the publishing process for Reloaded projects by automatically detecting and uploading artifacts to the appropriate locations, such as GitHub Releases, NuGet, and crates.io.

Features

• 📦 Download artifacts generated by other GitHub Actions
• 🚀 Upload artifacts to GitHub Releases
• 📦 Publish NuGet packages to nuget.org
• 🦀 Publish Rust packages to crates.io
• 🔍 Automatically detect and upload the appropriate artifacts

Usage

To use this action in your GitHub workflow, add the following step:

publish-crate:
  permissions:
    contents: write

  # Dependencies that produce publish-able artifacts.
  needs: [build-and-test,build-c-headers,build-dotnet-library]

  # Publish only on tags
  if: startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/') 
  runs-on: ubuntu-latest
  steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v4

  - name: Publish artifacts
    uses: Reloaded-Project/devops-publish-action@v1
    with:
      nuget-api-key: ${{ secrets.NUGET_KEY }}
      crates-io-token: ${{ secrets.CRATES_IO_TOKEN }}
      
      # For standalone Rust projects, specify paths to the project directories
      rust-project-paths: |
        ./path/to/rust/project1
        ./path/to/rust/project2
        
      # For Cargo workspace projects, specify the project names (not paths)
      cargo-workspace-projects: |
        project_name1
        project_name2

Inputs

Input	Description	Required	Default
nuget-api-key	NuGet API key for publishing packages	No
crates-io-token	Crates.io token for publishing Rust packages	No
rust-project-paths	List of paths to standalone Rust projects	No	``
cargo-workspace-projects	List of specific projects to publish from a Cargo workspace	No	''
artifacts-directory	Path to the directory containing the artifacts	No	artifacts
compressed-artifacts-directory	Path to the directory containing the zipped artifacts	No	compressed-artifacts
additional-publish-params	Additional parameters for cargo publish	No	''
create-release	Whether the artifacts should be uploaded to GitHub Releases	No	true
checkout-current-repo	Checks out the current repository.	No	true

How this Action Works

• Downloads all artifacts and re-uploads them to the GitHub Releases.
• Uploads all NuGet packages stored in artifacts to nuget.org
• Uploads specified Rust projects to crates.io using two different methods:
  • Standalone Projects: Uses --manifest-path to publish projects at specific file paths (via rust-project-paths)
  • Workspace Projects: Uses -p flag to publish specific projects within a workspace by name (via cargo-workspace-projects)

Why this Action Exists

Reloaded projects produce various types of artifacts, such as binaries, libraries, NuGet packages, and Rust packages. This action makes it easy to publish these artifacts.

This action is designed to be used in conjunction with actions such as:

• devops-changelog
• devops-rust-cbindgen
• devops-rust-lightweight-binary

This action centralizes the publishing logic, ensuring consistency across projects and reducing maintenance overhead.
