# PyInstaller-Action-Windows

|
Github Action for building executables with PyInstaller
|
|
|
|
To build your application, you need to specify where your source code is via the `path` argument, this defaults to `src`.
|
|
|
|
The source code directory should have your `.spec` file that PyInstaller generates. If you don't have one, you'll need to run PyInstaller once locally to generate it.
|
|
|
|
If the `src` folder has a `requirements.txt` file, the packages will be installed into the environment before PyInstaller runs.
|
|
|
|
If you wish to specify a package mirror, this is possibly via the `pypi_url` and/or the `pypi_index_url`, these defaults are:
|
|
|
|
- `pypi_url` = `https://pypi.python.org/`
|
|
- `pypi_index_url` = `https://pypi.python.org/simple`
|
|
|
|
> If you are using the default Python `gitignore` file, ensure to remove `.spec`.
|
|
|
|
> This action uses [Wine](https://www.winehq.org) to emulate windows inside Docker for packaging POSIX executables.
|
|
|
|
## Example usage
|
|
|
|
Include this in your `.github/workflows/main.yaml`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
- name: PyInstaller Windows
|
|
uses: JackMcKew/pyinstaller-action-windows@main
|
|
with:
|
|
path: src
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Full Example
|
|
|
|
Here is an entire workflow for:
|
|
|
|
- Packaging an application with PyInstaller
|
|
- Uploading the packaged executable as an artifact
|
|
|
|
``` yaml
|
|
|
|
name: Package Application with Pyinstaller
|
|
|
|
on:
|
|
push:
|
|
branches: [ main ]
|
|
pull_request:
|
|
branches: [ main ]
|
|
|
|
jobs:
|
|
build:
|
|
|
|
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
|
|
|
|
steps:
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
|
|
|
|
- name: Package Application
|
|
uses: JackMcKew/pyinstaller-action-windows@main
|
|
with:
|
|
path: src
|
|
|
|
- uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
|
|
with:
|
|

|
|
```
