Can Perl module tests on Github action with msys2?

[yuki-kimoto]

I'm Yuki Kimoto. I'm Perl Developer.

I write Perl module SPVM.

https://metacpan.org/pod/SPVM

SPVM can create Windows Binary with msys2.

spvmcc -I lib -o myapp Myapp

myapp is windows binary. Myapp is SPVM module.

My question is whether Github Actions can test the installation of Perl module on msys2.

If it can, I want to add msys2 tests to Github Actions.

You can try and see if https://github.com/msys2/setup-msys2 works for you, github actions does have their own copy of msys2, but I personally prefer this one because of package caching and @eine also maintains it

Thank you.

I don't know this.

Can you tell me the difference between Github own copy of msys2 and setup-msys2.

It doesn't matter if the maintainability and the amount of code are the same.

@yuki-kimoto, please see https://github.com/msys2/setup-msys2#context.

[yuki-kimoto]

I will try it, maybe in a few month.
