setup-dhall

Example Workflow

Github action to install a specific version of https://dhall-lang.org.

This will add the following executables to your PATH, making them available for further actions:

  • dhall
  • dhall-to-json
  • dhall-to-yaml
  • json-to-dhall
  • yaml-to-dhall

Inputs

Parameter Description Required Default
version The version of Dhall to install N latest
github_token A GitHub Token. This can help with rate limits when fetching releases N None

Usage

Basic Example

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: dhall-lang/setup-dhall@v4
      - run: dhall version

With a Specific Version

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: dhall-lang/setup-dhall@v4
        with:
          version: '1.28.0'
      - run: dhall version
      - run: dhall-to-json --version

Adding a GitHub token

If the action fails, it could be because GitHub rate limits anonymous requests to the API. In that case, the action will log an error message that looks something like this:

##[error]Failed to fetch releases from GitHub API, providing a token may help.
Error: {"message":"API rate limit exceeded for 1.1.1.1. (But here's the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.)","documentation_url":"https://developer.github.com/v3/#rate-limiting"}

As the error indicates, making the request as an authenticated user will grant a higher rate limit, so you can provide a github_token input to do so.

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: dhall-lang/setup-dhall@v4
        with:
          version: '1.28.0'
          github_token: ${{ github.token }}
      - run: dhall version
      - run: dhall-to-json --version

TODO

  • Add platform validation on action to fail early if an unsupported runner is used
  • Add support for the macOS runner
  • Add support for the Windows runner
