The docsite path was being initialized as a global variable. This wasn't
an issue before we were caching and unsetting the env vars, but now that
`wavebase.GetWaveAppPath()` returns the contents of the cached variable,
we need to read its value at runtime, since it won't be set at the time
the global variable is initialized.
## New release workflow
Build Helper will now automatically create a draft GitHub Release after
it finishes its builds. It will upload a copy of the build artifacts to
this release for easy access.
When a version is ready to be published, edit the GitHub Release and
publish it. This will trigger a workflow to publish the artifacts to our
releases feed.
## Moved artifacts scripts to Taskfile
The scripts formerly located at `scripts/artifacts` have been moved to
the Taskfile. They can now be found at `artifacts:*`.
## Moved releases readme to `RELEASES.md`
Updated the releases readme with step-by-step instructions and moved it
from `scripts/artifacts` to `RELEASES.md`
## Created new AWS identities for artifact upload and publishing
This narrows the scopes of the AWS identities used by the workflows to
upload and publish artifacts. The Build Helper workflow now only has
permission to put files into the artifacts bucket. The Publish Release
workflow only has permission to get files from the artifacts bucket and
put them into the releases bucket.
Adds electron-builder, which we will use to package and distribute our
application, same as in the existing app.
Replaces explicit port assignments with dynamic ones, which are then
stored into environment variables.
Adds a ~/.w2-dev folder for use when running a dev build.
The build-helper pipeline from the old repo is included here too, but it
is not updated yet so it will fail.
Also removes some redundant utility functions and cleans up some let vs.
const usage.
The packaging can be run using the `package:prod` and `package:dev`
tasks.
