parse-tool-versions

MacOS Ubuntu Windows

This GitHub action parses a .tool-versions file (as specified by asdf), found at the root folder of your GitHub repository, reads the versions declared therein and makes them available as step outputs variables.

Usage

Include, in your GitHub actions' workflows,

      - uses: paulo-ferraz-oliveira/parse-tool-versions@v1
        id: tool-versions

to set the outputs to use in subsequent steps.

Note: it would be easier to have these accessible from the environment but due to a security restriction Node.js -updated environment variables are not available from one step to the other.

Check our examples below.

Example .github/workflows/ci.yml

---
"on": push

jobs:
  ci:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: paulo-ferraz-oliveira/parse-tool-versions@v1
        id: tool-versions
      - run: echo ${{steps.tool-versions.outputs.ruby}} # 2.5.3
      - run: echo ${{steps.tool-versions.outputs.npm}} # 8.3.1
      - run: echo ${{steps.tool-versions.outputs.python}} # 3.7.2

Example .tool-versions

ruby 2.5.3 # This is a comment
# This is another comment
npm 8.3.1
python 3.7.2 2.7.15 system # Only 3.7.2 used

Target platforms

It is our intent that the action runs on all GitHub action environments that support asdf: at the moment of this writing, ubuntu-latest, windows-latest, and macos-latest (as well as their versioned variants).

Open a bug report if that's not the case.
