create_unique_testpypi_version

This action creates a unique version number for the provided Python package to enable uploading the package to TestPyPI.

It accomplishes this by creating a unique .postN version number. The unique version number is written back to the pyproject.toml file in order to enable building the package with the custom version number in a subsequent workflow step. This action currently only supports the Poetry package manager.

This action is used in the package-testpypi.yml reusable workflow.

Important

This action requires that the pyproject.toml file exists in the current working directory.
