开源 Electron 应用 GitHub Actions 自动化部署与升级指南

一、前言

本文详细介绍如何利用 GitHub Actions 实现 Electron 应用的自动化构建、发布及通过 UpgradeLink 实现应用自动更新功能。通过本指南，你将学会配置
GitHub Actions 工作流，完成从代码提交到应用更新的全自动化流程。

二、核心工具介绍

1. UpgradeLink GitHub Action

UpgradeLink 提供的 GitHub Action 插件，用于将 Electron 应用生成的更新文件上传至 UpgradeLink 服务器，
UpgradeLink 读取json文件中应用文件的地址，保存文件，自动实现应用版本文件的创建，和对应升级策略的创建。

三、工作流说明

工作流分为三个主要作业：

electron-build：构建并发布 Electron 应用打包不同端与架构的安装包
- 跨平台构建：同时支持 macOS、Linux 和 Windows
- 版本号提取：从 Electron 构建输出中提取应用版本号
electron-release：根据electron-build构建输出的包，进行 Releases 版本发布
- 发布管理：自动创建 GitHub Release 并上传应用安装包
- 输出参数：输出应用版本号，用于后续作业
upgradeLink-upload：将更新信息同步到 UpgradeLink
- 依赖关系：等待上面两个作业作业完成
- 版本感知：通过输出参数获取应用版本号
- API 调用：使用 UpgradeLink Action 将对应的安装包上传至升级服务器

四、接入步骤详解

1. 前期准备

首先需要确保：

已创建 GitHub 仓库并上传 Electron 应用代码
拥有 UpgradeLink 平台的账号并获取以下凭证：
- ACCESS_KEY（访问密钥）密钥信息
- ELECTRON_KEY（应用唯一标识）应用信息
在 UpgradeLink平台的 electron 应用配置中，配置上 github 仓库的地址。

2. 配置 GitHub Secrets

在 GitHub 仓库的 Settings > Security > Secrets and variables > Actions 中添加以下加密环境变量：

Secret 名称	说明
UPGRADE_LINK_ACCESS_KEY	UpgradeLink 平台提供的访问密钥，用于 API 调用身份验证
UPGRADE_LINK_ELECTRON_KEY	UpgradeLink 平台为你的 Electron 应用分配的唯一标识

3. 编辑 electron-demo/.github/workflows/main.yml github-Action文件，根据自己的需要，进行调整。

4. 引入 upgradelink-action模块。替换对应的信息

upgradeLink-upload: # 同时依赖 electron-build 和 electron-release，确保能访问 electron-build 的输出 needs: [ electron-build, electron-release ] permissions: contents: write runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Send a request to UpgradeLink uses: toolsetlink/upgradelink-action-electron@v1.0.1 with: source-url: 'https://github.com/toolsetlink/electron-demo/releases/download/${{ needs.electron-build.outputs.appVersion }}' access-key: ${{ secrets.UPGRADE_LINK_ACCESS_KEY }} # ACCESS_KEY 密钥key electron-key: ${{ secrets.UPGRADE_LINK_ELECTRON_KEY }} # ELECTRON_KEY electron 应用唯一标识 github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} version: ${{ needs.electron-build.outputs.appVersion }} prompt-upgrade-content: '提示升级内容'
