[Feature Request] GitHub Action to create .streamDeckPlugin
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. GitHub Action to create .streamDeckPlugin
From the Elgato Docs:
Describe the solution you'd like
A GitHub action that can run the DistributionTool and produce a .streamDeckPlugin
binary.
Steps
- Get the
DistributionTool
(Win or Mac) - Create/choose a folder to put the output in
- run
DistributionTool.exe -b -i com.elgato.counter.sdPlugin -o Release
This could then be added to other Actions like
- Build project
- Run above
- Upload to release
- https://github.com/actions/upload-release-asset
- Upload to Elgato store
- TBD (API?)
I've never written a GHA, can you distribute binaries like the DistributionTool
with it?
Would you just pull it from here and extract, seems a lot of work each time?

Describe alternatives you've considered Manually running the above steps.
Additional context I've emailed Elgato asking if they are likely to produce their own GHA and what the options will be to upload to the store.
** Is there one or more bugs reported related to this suggestion? If so, mention them below** #144 #158
I've made some progress with this:
Action: https://github.com/AlexHedley/streamdeckplugindistribution-test-action (I'll make a new clean repo once it's working properly)
Test Repo: https://github.com/AlexHedley/sdpd-action-test
That's a REALLY cool idea
