Pack step does not run build script

[matfire]

Hey all,
love this package, it works really well, though I have a small issue.

I'm trying it on this repository (https://github.com/matfire/satteri-photoswipe) and everything works (staged publish, provenance checks etc), but the publish package does not actually contain the "dist" folder I would expect it to.

Looking through the different steps - particularly Pack - I noticed that nowhere in there is a call to a pnpm build or similar, and since the Publish step only retrieves the tarballs and publishes them afaik this releases packages that only have a package.json, a LiCENSE and a README.md.

For the package I mentioned above, running pnpm pack without a dist folder archives the following files:

• LICENSE
• package.json
• README.md

Running pnpm pack with a dist folder, however, produces the following:

• dist/index.d.mts
• dist/index.mjs
• LICENSE
• package.json
• README.md

Proposal

Add an optional argument to the pack action to run a script (i.e. pnpm build) if integrating it directly into the workflow could break existing workflows

pack relies on the prepack/prepare lifecycle to produce constructs, you need:

  "scripts": {
+   "prepack": "tsdown"
  }

thanks nowo, I was missing that piece of info. Still doesn't work because of some invalid JSON :( but it might not be related to uppt...
