Add CI workflow to build Tauri app artifact for PRs and master by Copilot · Pull Request #266 · OJFord/amail

Copilot · 2026-06-07T21:10:31Z

This adds a dedicated GitHub Actions build workflow for the Tauri desktop app so PRs and master produce a reusable build artifact. It sets up the Linux build environment, uses the existing repo build entrypoint, and uploads the built app binary for later release automation.

Workflow scope
- Adds .github/workflows/build.yml
- Triggers on all pull requests and pushes to master
- Keeps permissions minimal with read-only contents access
Build job
- Checks out the repo with submodules
- Sets up Node with Yarn cache and stable Rust
- Installs just, tauri-cli, the repo-specific libnotmuch-dev, and the Tauri Linux prerequisite packages from the upstream docs
Artifact output
- Builds the app from the repo root using the existing just build-debug command
- Uploads the confirmed built desktop binary as a named workflow artifact from target/debug/amail

Build invocation

- name: Build Tauri app
  run: just build-debug

Addressed in 9bb403c: the workflow now uses the Tauri Linux prerequisite list with an inline source comment, keeps just/libnotmuch-dev as repo-specific extras, and drops JUST_UNSTABLE from the build step.

@copilot this is failing with 'toolchain is a required input' - it was ok with @stable before we pinned

@copilot address comments

Addressed in 9e931ae: the pinned Rust toolchain step now passes toolchain: stable, and the Tauri pre-build cleanup now tolerates a missing dist/ directory in clean CI checkouts.

  },
  "build": {
-    "beforeBuildCommand": "rm -r dist; yarn; yarn run vite:build:debug-${TAURI_ENV_DEBUG}",
+    "beforeBuildCommand": "rm -rf dist; yarn; yarn run vite:build:debug-${TAURI_ENV_DEBUG}",


@copilot no, check if dist exists and rm -r only if it does instead

Addressed in 6e4f7b9.
