Golang Action

This Action allows you to run Go commands with your code. It will automatically setup your workspace (~/go/src/github.com/<your-name>/<repo>) before the command is run.

How to use

Create a workflow.yaml file in .github/workflows with the following contents:

on: push
name: My cool Action
jobs:
  checks:
    name: run
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/[email protected]

    - name: run
      uses: cedrickring/[email protected]

If no args are specified and a Makefile is detected, this action will run make. Otherwise go test and go build will be run. To run a custom command, just use:

steps:
- name: Run custom command
  uses: cedrickring/[email protected]
  with:
    args: make my-target

If your repository's import name is different from the path on GitHub, provide the import name by adding an environment variable IMPORT=import/name. This may be useful if you have forked an open source Go project:

steps:
- name: Run with custom import path
  uses: cedrickring/[email protected]
  env:
    IMPORT: "root/repo"

To use Go Modules add GO111MODULE=on to the step:

steps:
- name: Go Modules
  uses: cedrickring/[email protected]
  env:
    GO111MODULE: "on"

If your go project is not located at the root of the repo you can also specify environment variable PROJECT_PATH:

steps:
- name: Custom project path
  uses: cedrickring/[email protected]
  env:
    PROJECT_PATH: "./path/in/my/project"

To use a specific golang version (1.10, 1.11, 1.12, 1.13, 1.14, 1.15), defaults to the latest version:

steps:
- name: Use Go 1.11
  uses: cedrickring/golang-action/[email protected]
