Sample

This uses the standard Create Release and Upload Release Asset actions to create a GH release and attach a built package to it as an asset.

Copied from cschleiden/vscode-github-actions.

  • build-preview.yml 
      jobs:
    build:
      runs-on: ubuntu-latest

      steps:
        - uses: actions/checkout@v2
          
        - uses: actions/setup-node@v2-beta
          with:
            node-version: '12'
              
        - run: rm package-lock.json
        - run: npm --no-git-tag-version version 1.0.$
        - run: npm install
        - run: npm run package
          
        - name: Create Release
          id: create_release
          uses: actions/create-release@v1
          env:
            GITHUB_TOKEN: $
          with:
            tag_name: build-$
            release_name: Nightly Build $
            draft: false
            prerelease: false
              
        - name: Upload Release Asset
          id: upload-release-asset
          uses: actions/upload-release-asset@v1
          env:
            GITHUB_TOKEN: $
          with:
            upload_url: $
            asset_path: vscode-github-actions-1.0.$.vsix
            asset_name: vscode-github-actions-1.0.$.vsix
            asset_content_type: application/vsix

The Create Release section needs an underscore for the ID so it can be referenced in the last step.

The asset path and asset name part are both the same - perhaps there is a shorter way like only setting one or referencing one in the other.

Here are the script commands:

  • package.json 
      {
    "scripts": {
      "clean": "rimraf dist out",
      "compile": "tsc -p .",
      "watch": "tsc -watch -p .",
      "package": "npm run clean && vsce package",
      "vscode:prepublish": "webpack --mode production",
      "webpack": "webpack --mode development",
      "webpack-dev": "webpack --mode development --watch",
      "test-compile": "tsc -p ."
    }
  }
