# GitHub Actions workflow for creating a new FoundryVTT module release.

#
# Troubleshooting Checklist:
# - Is the module's manifest file valid JSON?
# You can test your manifest file using https://jsonlint.com/.
#
# - Does the module's manifest have all the required keys?
# See https://foundryvtt.com/article/module-development/#manifest for more
# information.
#
# - Are all the proper files and directories being included in the release's
# module archive ("module.zip")?
# Check that the correct files are being passed to the `zip` command run
# in the "Create Module Archive" step below.
#
# - Is the release tag the proper format?
# See the comments for the "Extract Version From Tag" step below.
#
# - Is a GitHub release being published?
# This workflow will only run when a release is published, not when a
# release is updated. Furthermore, note that while a GitHub release will
# (by default) create a repository tag, a repository tag will not create
# or publish a GitHub release.
#
# - Has the module's entry on FoundryVTT's module administration site
# (https://foundryvtt.com/admin) been updated?

- name: Checkout Repository

# Extract version embedded in the tag.
# This step expects the tag to be one of the following formats:
# - "v<major>.<minor>.<patch>" (e.g., "v1.2.3")
# - "<major>.<minor>.<patch>" (e.g., "1.2.3")
#
# The version will be used by later steps to fill in the value for the
# "version" key required for a valid module manifest.
- name: Extract Version From Tag
id: get_version
uses: battila7/get-version-action@v2
# Modify "module.json" with values specific to the release.
# Since the values for the "version" and "url" keys aren't known ahead of
# time, the manifest file in the repository is updated with these values.
#
# While this does modify the manifest file in-place, the changes are not
# commited to the repository, and only exist in the action's filesystem.
