# pyinstaller-action
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.
## Example usage
Include this in your `.github/workflows/main.yaml`:
```yaml
- name: PyInstaller Windows
uses: JackMcKew/pyinstaller-action-windows@master
```
## 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: [ 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
```
