Run steps

Conan

Uses:	`conan`
Needs:	`conanfile.py` or `conanfile.txt`
Aliased with:	`./flow config`

Prepares the external dependencies, by downloading and compiling Conan packages as needed. Produces the build/conan directory with all the CMake targets.

CMake

Uses:	`cmake>=3.28`
Needs:	`CMakeLists.txt` and `CMakePresets.json`
Runs after:	Conan
Aliased with:	`./flow config`

Prepares the build system in build/<build_type> directory (e.g. build/debug or build/release)

Icons

Uses:	`magick>=6` on Windows, `convert>=6` otherwise
Runs after:	Build

Uses the SVG images to create an data/assets/appicon.ico and data/assets/appicon-256.png. Installed during proj-flow init as an example of Project Flow extension read from project directory.

Build

Uses:	`cmake>=3.28`
Needs:	`CMakeLists.txt` and `CMakePresets.json`
Runs after:	Conan and CMake
Aliased with:	`./flow build`, `./flow test` and `./flow verify`

Builds previously configured project in terms of cmake --build.

Test

Uses:	`cmake>=3.28` and `ctest>=3.28`
Needs:	`CMakeLists.txt` and `CMakePresets.json`
Runs after:	Build
Aliased with:	`./flow test` and `./flow verify`

Runs all tests registered with CPack.

Sign

Needs:	A Windows run, a valid `signtool` exe path and a key in either `$SIGN_TOKEN`, `signature.json` or `~/signature.json`.
Runs after:	Build
Runs before:	Pack

Warning

This step is only supported on Windows. On other systems it is quietly removed.

Signs all PE files in directories with binaries. For more information, see sign flow config.

Pack

Uses:	`cmake>=3.28` and `cpack>=3.28`; if the `"cpack_generator"` contains `WIX`, also `wix>=4,<5`
Needs:	`CMakeLists.txt`, `CMakePresets.json` and non-empty `"cpack_generator"` list in current config
Runs after:	Build

Packs all archives and installers using CPack.

Note

The WiX 4 dependency is not enforced yet

StoreTests

Runs after:

Test

Copies all files generated by tests to place they can be picked up by CI tools.

SignPackages

Needs:	A Windows run, a valid `signtool` exe path and a key in either `$SIGN_TOKEN`, `signature.json` or `~/signature.json`.
Runs after:	Pack
Runs before:	StorePackages and Store

Warning

This step is only supported on Windows. On other systems it is quietly removed.

Signs all .msi files in packages directory.

StorePackages

Runs after:

Pack

Copies all (possibly signed) archives and installers to place they can be picked up by CI tools.

Store

Runs after:

Test and Pack

Runs both StoreTests and StorePackages
