Setup Acton

This GitHub Action installs the Acton programming language on your workflow runner. You can choose between the latest stable (default) release or the tip (development) version.

Usage

Write the following to .github/workflows/test.yml in your repo:

name: Test

on:
  push:

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actonlang/setup-acton@v1
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Build Project
        run: acton build

      - name: Run Tests
        run: acton test

Getting the version of Acton installed

The action outputs the installed version in the version output variable. You may use it later steps where Acton version is needed, for example creating a cache key:

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actonlang/setup-acton@v1
        id: setup-acton
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/cache@v4
        path: |
          ~/.cache/acton
        key: acton-${{ hashFiles('**/build.act.json') }}-${{ steps.setup-acton.version }}
