Executable not archived

[firegate666]

I was following your example for exporting builds, created the export in Godot etc ... but whenever I ran the runner, it only added the ZIPPED project to the release (source code) and not the created win.exe (although the output showed it was created)

I needed to add

use_preset_export_path: true

to the export step and added an additional archive at the end

- name: Archive production artifacts
  uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
  with:
    name: builds
    path: |
      builds

to get it to work. Now the exe is at least archived. But not added to release.

Then I realized (whiloe looking at the logs) that the variable that is used to point to the release output is not resolving to anything meaningful. You might want to check this

I changed it to the builds folder that you also used in the example and referenced the runner work dir, and then it works

- name: create release
  uses: softprops/action-gh-release@v0.1.14
  with:
    token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
    generate_release_notes: true
    tag_name: ${{ steps.tag_version.outputs.TAG_VERSION }}
    files: ${{ github.workspace }}/builds/win/win.zip

Hello! Unfortunately the archive_directory and build_directory outputs do not take into account the preset export path. Note the docs say the following:

The directory containing archived exports. This directory will be empty if archive_output is not set. Note that the inputs relative_export_path and use_preset_export_path do not change this output value.

Does this describe why you were experiencing this issue? Or is there something else wrong here?
