GitHub Action to upload zip to AWS S3 and manifest to a public repository after a release is published

This GitHub Action enables you to release a Foundry VTT System or Module by simply updating the 'version.txt' file in your main branch.

This is to be used with the foundry-release-action which creates a GitHub release, and runs after a release is published to copy the manifest into main with the latest version information.

Install Instructions

Create a folder named .github at the root of your workflow, and inside that folder, create a workflows folder.

In the workflows folder, create a file named foundry_release_upload.yml with this content:

name: Foundry Release Upload

on:
  release:
    types:
      - published

jobs:
  upload_release:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: Foundry Release Upload
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          ref: main
          repository: foundryvtt-dcc/dcc-content
            token: ${{ secrets.WRITE_CAPABLE_TOKEN }}

      - name: Foundry Manifest Update
        id: foundry-manifest-update
        uses: foundryvtt-dcc/foundry-manifest-update-action@main
        with:
          actionToken: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          manifestFileName: 'system.json'

For manifestFileName you will either enter system.json or module.json depending on your project.

The token for the Checkout step is a token with write permissions to the public repository. This is usually a personal access token (PAT) that you create in your GitHub account settings.

You should not need to change actionToken from the example above.

You will need to create a GITHUB_CONTENT_TOKEN with permissions to edit the repo that you want to update if it's not the repo this action is running in.
