Craft Actions

This project contains custom GitHub actions for Craft Applications, such as:

The following sections will break down the different actions available in this repository and how to use them.

rockcraft-pack

Can be used to build a ROCK (with Rockcraft). It expects a "rockcraft.yaml" file to exist in its execution path.

Usage

steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v3
  - uses: canonical/craft-actions/rockcraft-pack@latest

This will install and configure LXD and Rockcraft, and then invoke rockcraft to build a new ROCK, based on a "rockcraft.yaml" file located in the root of the workingspace.

You can also upload the resulting ROCK as a GitHub artifact as follows:

steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v3
  - uses: canonical/craft-actions/rockcraft-pack@latest
    id: rockcraft
  - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
    with:
      name: rock
      path: ${{ steps.rockcraft.outputs.rock }}

Additionally, the following steps will already have Rockcraft available for direct invocation through the shell.

Inputs

path

If your Rockcraft project ("rockcraft.yaml") is not located in the root of the workspace, you can specify an alternative location via the path input parameter.

steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v3
  - uses: canonical/craft-actions/rockcraft-pack@latest
    with:
      path: path/to/rockcraft/project/
rockcraft-args

This rockcraft-args input parameter can be used to pass additional arguments to the rockcraft pack command.

steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v3
  - uses: canonical/craft-actions/rockcraft-pack@latest
    with:
      rockcraft-args: --verbosity debug
