makensis-action's Introduction

Nullsoft scriptable install system GitHub action

This action calls makensis to create a Windows installer.

This codebase was ported from the Azure DevOps Extension dev-maxima/nsis-extension.

Platforms

This action looks for makensis or makensis.exe in the environment path, and if not found it will attempt to look in a couple of different places:

  • Windows - C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS\
  • Linux and macOS:
    • /usr/local/bin/
    • /usr/bin/
    • /opt/local/bin/

Inputs

script-file

Path to the .nsi script file. Default "install.nsi".

arguments

Arguments to makensis.exe. Default: "".

additional-plugin-paths

Newline-delimited list of paths to load plugins from. Default "".

Example usage

- name: Create installer
  uses: joncloud/[email protected]
  with:
    arguments: "/V3"

Development

This action needs to be built from the source code located in the /src folder. Whenever you make changes, you should run the npm run build script. Otherwise, your changes won't be tested by CI.

makensis-action's Issues

Restore just-include argument

I use NSIS in a project that I'm currently migrating to GH Actions from Travis. It uses NSIS to build installers, and is invoked from a batch script. In other words, I don't want or need an action that runs makensis, only one that installs it. This is possible with v1 of your action, with just-include set to true. This option is not available in v2 however. For my use case it's basically crucial. Please consider reinstating it, thanks.

limitation to windows?!

Can you please explain, what do you mean with

Due to the requirement of NSIS, this is only compatible on Windows.

for example, i build all my nsis based setups on macOS with makensis
also nsis is available in Ubuntu

currently, i moved everything to github actions and this action was the only one which provide makensis.
But, i don't understand the limitation to windows?!

Cannot get to work with EnVar Plugin

Hi there,

I'm trying to get this to work with https://nsis.sourceforge.io/EnVar_plug-in.

The closest I seem to get is:

    - name: Download EnVar plugin for NSIS
      uses: carlosperate/[email protected]
      with:
        file-url: https://nsis.sourceforge.io/mediawiki/images/7/7f/EnVar_plugin.zip
        file-name: envar_plugin.zip
        location: ${{ github.workspace }}
    - name: Extract EnVar plugin
      run: 7z x -o"${{ github.workspace }}/NSIS_Plugins" "${{ github.workspace }}/envar_plugin.zip"
    - name: Create installer
      uses: joncloud/[email protected]
      with:
        include-more-plugins: true
        include-custom-plugins-path: ${{ github.workspace }}/NSIS_Plugins/Plugins
        script-file: ${{ github.workspace }}/installer/windows/microk8s.nsi

However, it seems the plugin does not pick this up:
