Tauri GitHub Action

This GitHub Action builds your Web application as a Tauri native binary for macOS, Linux and Windows. If your project doesn't include the Tauri files, we create it at compile time, so if you don't need to use Tauri's API, you can just ship native apps through this Action.

Usage

This GitHub Action has three main usages: test the build pipeline of your Tauri app, uploading Tauri artifacts to an existing release, and creating a new release with the Tauri artifacts.

Testing the Build

name: 'test-on-pr'
on: [pull_request]

jobs:
  test-tauri:
    strategy:
      fail-fast: false
      matrix:
        platform: [macos-latest, ubuntu-20.04, windows-latest]

    runs-on: ${{ matrix.platform }}
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: setup node
        uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version: 16
      - name: install Rust stable
        uses: dtolnay/rust-toolchain@stable
      - name: install dependencies (ubuntu only)
        if: matrix.platform == 'ubuntu-20.04'
        run: |
          sudo apt-get update
          sudo apt-get install -y libgtk-3-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev libappindicator3-dev librsvg2-dev patchelf
      - name: install app dependencies and build it
        run: yarn && yarn build
      - uses: tauri-apps/tauri-action@v0
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Creating a release and uploading the Tauri bundles

name: 'publish'
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - release

      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: setup node
        uses: actions/setup-node@v3

      - name: install app dependencies and build it
        run: yarn && yarn build
      - uses: tauri-apps/tauri-action@v0
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        with:
          tagName: app-v__VERSION__ # the action automatically replaces \_\_VERSION\_\_ with the app version
          releaseName: 'App v__VERSION__'
          releaseBody: 'See the assets to download this version and install.'
          releaseDraft: true
          prerelease: false

Uploading the artifacts to a release

name: 'My Workflow'

Caveats

  • You can use this Action on a repo that doesn't have Tauri configured. We automatically initialize Tauri before building, and configure it to use your Web artifacts.
    • You can configure Tauri with the configPath, distPath and iconPath options.
  • You can run custom Tauri CLI scripts with the tauriScript option. So instead of running yarn tauri <COMMAND> <ARGS> or npx tauri <COMMAND> <ARGS>, we'll execute ${tauriScript} <COMMAND> <ARGS>.
    • Useful when you need custom build functionality when creating Tauri apps e.g. a desktop:build script.
  • If you want to add additional arguments to the build command, you can use the args option. For example, if you're setting a specific target for your build, you can specify args: --target your-target-arch.
  • When your app isn't on the root of the repo, use the projectPath input.
  • If you create the release yourself and provide a releaseId but do not set tagName, the download url for updater bundles in latest.json will point to releases/latest/download/<bundle> which can cause issues if your repo contains releases that do not include updater bundles.
