Is it possible to separate the build and publishing steps?

[billiegoose]

I've read through #1102 (comment) and https://www.electron.build/#pack-only-in-a-distributable-format but it's still clear as dirt to me. What I want is a 3-step CI workflow like this:

jobs:
  - build                # Step 1: make .exe, .dmg, etc and save as CircleCI artifacts and / or cache them
  - allow_publish:       # Step 2: QA tests out .exe, .dmg and approves them
      type: approval
      requires: [build]
  - publish:             # Step 3: the .exe, .dmg, etc from the `build` step get published.
      requires: [allow_publish]

But I don't see how to run electron-builder --publish so that it re-uses the already built .exe, .dmg, etc.

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs.

Did you manage to make this work @wmhilton?
