Create package for Cura's plugin

A github workflow action that creates .curapackage files from Cura plugin source repositories. The action parses plugin.info to detect the compatible major Cura SDK versions and creates a .curapackage file for each SDK version.

This repository based on cura-plugin-packager-action but uses typescript instead of javascript.

Inputs

Parameter	Description	Default
source_folder	Path to the checked out source of the Cura plugin.	``
plugin_id	Plugin id, in Cura, can be used to override package.json	``
package_info_path	Path to a package.json	``

If no package_info_path is specified a template package.json file is used. If the referenced package.json does not include a package_id field, the plugin_id argument must be specified. If both the package.json file contains a package_id and the plugin_id argument is specified, then the plugin_id argument is used.

Outputs

The following output values can be accessed via ${{ steps.<step-id>.outputs.<output-name> }}:

Name	Description	Type
packages	List of created .curapackage files	array

Example

The workflow below, which is triggered when a new tag starting with the letter v is pushed, checks out the repository into a folder named build using actions/checkout, creates packages while referencing the package.json file included in the repository, and uses marvinpinto/action-automatic-releases to create a release with the .curapackage files attached.

name: "Cura-plugin-package release"

on:
  push:
    tags:
      - "v*"

jobs:
  create-curapackages:
    name: "Tagged Release"
    runs-on: "ubuntu-latest"

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          path: "build"
          submodules: "recursive"
      - uses: PrintMakerLab/cura-make-plugin-package@main
        with:
          source_folder: "build"
          package_info_path: "build/.github/workflows/package.json"
      - uses: marvinpinto/action-automatic-releases@latest
        with:
          repo_token: "${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}"
          prerelease: false
          files: |
            *.curapackage
