Building 2+ packages at once

[jamesbraza]

I have something like this workspace layout, which leads to this GitHub Action:

      - run: |-
          uv build --sdist --wheel --out-dir dist/ .
          uv build --sdist --wheel --out-dir dist/ packages/seeds
          uv build --sdist --wheel --out-dir dist/ packages/bird-feeder

Looking at version 2.9.0's inputs: https://github.com/hynek/build-and-inspect-python-package/blob/v2.9.0/action.yml#L9-L25

Is the correct way to handle this to invoke build-and-inspect-python-package three times, with a different upload-name-suffix each time?

Hmm this is virgin soil here. :) I have never used such a setup, so I have to guess a bit, but I would say: cd in to those packages and add a suffix, yes. Please let me know how it goes, so we can add something to the docs.

[jamesbraza]

I have something like this:

      - name: Check albatross build
        uses: hynek/build-and-inspect-python-package@v2
        with:
          upload-name-suffix: -albatross
      - name: Check bird-feeder build
        uses: hynek/build-and-inspect-python-package@v2
        with:
          path: packages/bird-feeder
          upload-name-suffix: -bird-feeder
      - name: Check seeds build
        uses: hynek/build-and-inspect-python-package@v2
        with:
          path: packages/seeds
          upload-name-suffix: -seeds

And it leads to this summary:

We should put the upload-name-suffix into the summary title, so everything doesn't say Package Contents, it can say Package-albatross Contents (and be distinguishable)

[hynek]

It might be also worth to extract the package name from metadata as we do in 2.11 and add “package-name pkg-version” as a header. maybe instead of the generic “Pacakge Contents”. It would require some rejiggering of the job steps tho.

can this be closed or is anything left?

[jamesbraza]

I think providing the names definitely helps, thanks for that. Other things could be:

• Supporting one BAIPP invocation building 1+ packages
• Alternately, documenting that when building 2+ packages, invoke BAIPP once/package

Otherwise, feel free to close this out, thank you again
