open-turo/action-setup-tools

Description

GitHub Action that installs and provisions supported tools for workflow steps in self-hosted runners. This relies on the agent having supported tooling installed.

Release Tests pass/fail License Contributions welcome CI semantic-release: angular Conventional commits Join us!

This action works with the following tooling and repository files (in order of priority):

Attempts to use configuration provided in the directory structure for each tool, but this can be overridden with additional configuration in the action.

When used with self-hosted runners it's possible to pre-install the tooling you desire and allow action-setup-tools to function as a version check in CI for much faster workflows.

Usage

The Action relies on the checked out repository or workspace to have existing configuration files, for each tool, present in the root level of the repository. The Action takes no inputs and reads these configuration files, such as .node-version, to configure the tooling correctly for the workflow.

name: CI
on:
    pull_request:
        branches:
            - "main"
jobs:
    my-job:
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest
        steps:
            - name: Checkout
              uses: actions/checkout@v3
            - name: Setup tools
              uses: open-turo/action-setup-tools@v1
            - name: Output current environment
              run: env | sort

Outputs

parameter description
go The version of golang that has been installed and is ready for use.
node The verison of Node.js that has been installed and is ready for use.
java The version of Java that has been installed and is ready for use.
python The version of Python that has been installed and is ready for use.
terraform The version of Terraform that has been installed and is ready for use.

Runs

This action is a node20 action.

Supported Tools

The following tool platforms are supported for configuration but not installation. If you are using a self-hosted runner you must pre-install these, or if you're using a hosted runner they must be installed separately.

Golang

By default the action will look for a .go-version file in the root level directory. If present it will setup the Golang environment to use that version of go, installing the specified version if necessary.

The Go tools are made available via goenv.

Java and Kotlin

By default the action will look for a .sdkmanrc file in the root level directory. If present and if specifies a java version it will setup the sdkman environment to use that version of java, installing it if necessary. More information about sdkman can be found here. Note that the java version identifier is an sdkman version identifier that includes a vendor identifier after a dash to indicate which vendor supplies the identified version.

Note that because sdkman supports other tools like Kotlin, future support for additional tools via this Action is possible.

Node.js

By default the action will look for a .node-version file in the root level directory. If present it will setup the node environment to use that version of node, installing the specified version if necessary.

This will also attempt to install the yarn command and make it available to future steps in the workflow.

The Node.js tools are made available via nodenv.

Python

By default the action will look for a .python-version file in the root level directory. If present it will setup the Python environment to use that version of python, installing the specified version if necessary.

This will also make the pip available for future steps in the workflow.

The Python tools are made available via pyenv.

Terraform

By default the action will look for a .terraform-version file in the root level directory. If present it will setup the environment to use that version of terraform, installing the specified version if necessary.

Terraform is made available via tfenv.

Advanced sub-action usage

This repository exports a sub-action, open-turo/action-setup-tools/versions@v1 which allows you to specify the exact version of the tools that you wish to use, even if they do not have configuration files present in the repository root or workspace.

This is not the recommended usage of this action since it can produce different results in CI or in your local environment and is more difficult to maintain than using .*-version files.

Do not use this sub-action except in test workflows with fixed specific version requirements.
