[Unreleased]

[1.9.0] - 2024-06-08

Add extra argument cache-on-failure and forward it to Swatinem/rust-cache. (#39 by @samuelhnrq)
Set the default the value to true. This will result in more caching than previously. This helps when large dependencies are compiled only for testing to fail.

[1.8.0] - 2024-01-13

Allow specifying subdirectories for cache.
Fix toolchain file overriding.

[1.7.0] - 2024-01-11

Allow overriding the toolchain file with explicit toolchain input. (#26)

[1.6.0] - 2023-12-04

Added

Allow disabling problem matchers (#27) This can be useful when having a matrix of jobs, that produce the same errors.

[1.5.0] - 2023-05-29

Added

Support installing additional components and targets that are not listed in rust-toolchain (#14) Before only the items listed in rust-toolchain were installed. Now all the items from the toolchain file are installed and then all the targets and components that are provided as action inputs. This allows installing extra tools only for CI or simplify testing special targets in CI.
Allow skipping the creation of a RUSTFLAGS environment variable. Cargos logic for rustflags is complicated, and setting the RUSTFLAGS environment variable prevents other ways of working. Provide a new rustflags input, which controls the environment variable creation. If the value is set to the empty string, then RUSTFLAGS is not created.

Pre-existing RUSTFLAGS variables are never modified by this extension.

[1.4.4] - 2023-03-18

Fixed

Use color aware problem matcher. The problem matcher currently runs against the colored terminal output (Bug 1, Bug 2). The previous matcher was not aware of ANSII color codes and did not work.

[1.4.3] - 2023-02-21

Fixed

Executing the action twice for different toolchains now no longer fails around unstable features #12. If multiple toolchains are installed, the "CARGO_REGISTRIES_CRATES_IO_PROTOCOL" can be downgraded to "git" if any of the installed toolchains require it.

[1.4.2] - 2023-02-15

Fixed

Tweak sparse registry version regex to better work with 1.68 nightly versions.
Fix command not found issue

[1.4.1] - 2023-02-13

Fixed

Fixed running on macOS #9 #10 The macOS images have an ancient version of bash, but the action relies on "newer" features than 2014. We install bash via brew (already pre-installed) to have a new enough version.

The CI is extended to also run on Windows and macOS to catch such issues earlier in the future.

Thanks to @GeorgeHahn for reporting the issue.

[1.4.0] - 2023-02-13

Changed

Only set environment variables, if they are not set before. This allows setting environment variables before using this action and keeping their values.
Enable stable sparse registry, except on versions 1.66 and 1.67 where this leads to errors.

[1.3.7] - 2023-01-31

Fixed

Disable the stable access to the sparse registry. Setting the value causes problem on version before stabilization, e.g., 1.67. For example, "cargo add" fails.

[1.3.6] - 2023-01-31

Fixed

The the correct environment variable to enable the sparse registry access. The pull request originally had the wrong value, without CARGO_ prefix.

[1.3.5] - 2023-01-21

Changed

Use the newly stabilized setting to enable sparse registry access. This speeds up access to the crate registry and is in addition to the unstable nightly env var. rust-lang/cargo#11224

[1.3.4] - 2022-10-15

Changed

The last version did not fix all "set-output" commands

[1.3.3] - 2022-10-13

Changed

Switch from set-output to $GITHUB_OUTPUT to avoid warning https://github.blog/changelog/2022-10-11-github-actions-deprecating-save-state-and-set-output-commands/

[1.3.2] - 2022-09-15

Fixed

Fix setting $CARGO_HOME to a valid path, in case rustup is installed from the internet. Thanks to @nahsi for providing the fix.

[1.3.1] - 2022-08-14

Changed

Use the sparse-registry on nightly for faster access to the crate registry on nightly. https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/call-for-testing-cargo-sparse-registry/16862

[1.3.0] - 2022-07-30

Added

An option to disable configuring Rust cache. Thanks to @filips123 for the PR.

[1.2.1] - 2022-07-29

Fixed

Set environment variables before invoking the cache action. This ensures restoring and saving are using the same cache key.

[1.2.0] - 2022-07-21

Added

Prefer toolchain definitions in rust-toolchain or rust-toolchain.toml files (Toolchain File). Other input values are ignored if either file is found.

[1.1.0] - 2022-07-19

Added

Install rustup if not available in the CI environment. (Linux only) The code is taken from this issue: dtolnay/rust-toolchain#8
Add rustc version output suitable as a cache key. This is based on dtolnay/rust-toolchain#20 and dtolnay/rust-toolchain#17.

Changed

Update to Swatinem/rust-cache@v2.

[1.0.2] - 2022-05-02

Changed

Enable colored cargo output.
Print short backtraces during test failure.

[1.0.1] - 2022-04-20

Added

Release action on marketplace

[1.0.0] - 2022-04-20
