Allow directories in extra files, renaming binaries

[vladkorotnev]

I have an assets folder that needs to be shipped along with the binaries.

Specifying either assets or assets/* under extra_files just breaks the build process with either an "Is a directory" or "File not found" error respectively.

It would be useful to be able to ship directories along with the files.

Additionally an option to rename binaries (e.g. projectName.exe to projectName-Windows.exe) would be useful

So this is two separate issues.

For the including dirs issue: Yes, this makes sense! Are you up for creating a PR to add this?

For the renaming binaries: I don't think there's any reason for this action to implement this. You can just run a step to rename it yourself in your workflow. I don't think having this action do this makes it any easier.

Not sure I can get to it, things are a bit piled up here as of now. I was just surprised the doc said you can specify globs which in my understanding would allow folders too.

Doesn't this action do the whole process from build to upload to publish without allowing to add an intermediate step? Just for reference, here is the setup I ended up implementing to achieve this:

No, all that this action, actions-rust-release, does is to do the packaging and release. It looks like you're using my other action, actions-rust-cross, for the compilation part.
