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

Example usage

Include this in your .github/workflows/main.yaml:

- name: PyInstaller Windows
  uses: JackMcKew/pyinstaller-action-windows@master
    with: src

Full Example

Here is an entire workflow for:

• Packaging an application with PyInstaller
• Uploading the packaged executable as an artifact

name: Package Application with Pyinstaller

on:
  push:
    branches: [ master ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ master ]

jobs:
  build:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2

    - name: Package Application
      uses: JackMcKew/pyinstaller-action-windows@master
      with:
        path: src

    - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
      with:
        name: name-of-artifact
        path: src/dist/windows
