setup-go
This action sets up a go environment for use in actions by:
- Optionally downloading and caching a version of Go by version and adding to
PATH
. - Registering problem matchers for error output.
V3
The V3 edition of the action offers:
- Adds
GOBIN
to thePATH
- Proxy support
- Check latest version
- Bug fixes (including issues around version matching and semver)
The action will first check the local cache for a version match. If a version is not found locally, it will pull it from the main
branch of the go-versions repository. On miss or failure, it will fall back to downloading directly from go dist. To change the default behavior, please use the check-latest input.
Matching by semver spec:
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: actions/setup-go@v3
with:
go-version: '^1.13.1' # The Go version to download (if necessary) and use.
- run: go version
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: actions/setup-go@v3
with:
go-version: '>=1.17.0'
- run: go version
Matching an unstable pre-release:
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: actions/setup-go@v3
with:
go-version: '1.18.0-rc.1' # The Go version to download (if necessary) and use.
- run: go version
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: actions/setup-go@v3
with:
go-version: '1.16.0-beta.1' # The Go version to download (if necessary) and use.
- run: go version
Usage
See action.yml
Basic
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: actions/setup-go@v3
with:
go-version: '1.16.1' # The Go version to download (if necessary) and use.
- run: go run hello.go
Check latest version
The check-latest
flag defaults to false
. Use the default or set check-latest
to false
if you prefer stability and if you want to ensure a specific Go version is always used.
If check-latest
is set to true
, the action first checks if the cached version is the latest one. If the locally cached version is not the most up-to-date, a Go version will then be downloaded. Set check-latest
to true
if you want the most up-to-date Go version to always be used.
Setting
check-latest
totrue
has performance implications as downloading Go versions is slower than using cached versions.
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: actions/setup-go@v3
with:
go-version: '1.14'
check-latest: true
- run: go run hello.go
Matrix testing
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
strategy:
matrix:
go: [ '1.14', '1.13' ]
name: Go ${{ matrix.go }} sample
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- name: Setup go
uses: actions/setup-go@v3
with:
go-version: ${{ matrix.go }}
- run: go run hello.go
Supported version syntax
The go-version
input supports the following syntax:
- Specific versions:
1.15
,1.16.1
,1.17.0-rc.2
,1.16.0-beta.1
- SemVer's version range syntax:
