Package Creation

Note

In the workflow, by default, the first job is called build. Change this to CI.

  CD:
    runs-on: windows-latest
    # CI is the name of the previous job. If the CI job fails, then this job will not be executed.
    needs: CI
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v4
  
    # Install the Packager .NET tool so we can create a dmprotocol package from the connector solution.
    - name: Install Package Creation
      run: dotnet tool install -g Skyline.DataMiner.CICD.Tools.Packager

    # Run the Packager .NET tool to create a dmprotocol package.
    - name: Create Protocol Package
      run: dataminer-package-create dmprotocol "${{ github.workspace }}" --name "protocol" --output "${{ github.workspace }}\\_PackageResults"

    # Archive the dmprotocol package so you can access it via the UI.
    - name: Archive Package
      if: success()
      uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
      with:
        name: packageResults
        path: ${{ github.workspace }}\\_PackageResults\\*
