I was in the GitHub Actions beta program and forward ported my code to the latest version that just went public. It’s a pretty simple way to get your OCaml code tested on Linux, macOS and Windows, without requiring an external CI service. The action attempts to provide a homogenous interface acros…

Thank you for publishing this. I’ve been able to migrate my smallish project entirely to github actions :slight_smile: While migrating to actions i’ve also been add a few things I didn’t have on travis (testing on mac + windows, testing formatting + creating automated PR)

Glad to hear it! I’ll check out your improvements and see about folding them in :slight_smile:

Is it a substitute for https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml-ci-scripts ? Which one should be used by the new projects?

Thank you so much. The action and code you provide completely unblocked me. I now have a nice CI for my little project.

I did the same thing a while ago https://github.com/fangyi-zhou/actions-ocaml , but didn’t have the windows support. I was thinking about adding cache to the .opam directory to shorten the build time, but didn’t have time to look into the provided APIs. I think that’ll be a useful feature to have.

Because Travis CI is dying (or walking dead already) I opened an issue in ocaml-ci-scripts to drop its support and switch or just mention these GitHub Actions instead: #353 .

Fantastic work @avsm I’ve been porting my CI across from travis to both GH and CircleCI. This looks really useful. The link to GitHub marketplace should be: Set up OCaml · Actions · GitHub Marketplace · GitHub

I would also recommend setting up dependabot to check the versions of the GitHub actions you are using. Something like this will check you are using the latest version of each action within the build OCaml CI: version: 2 updates: - package-ecosystem: "github-actions" directory: "/" sched…

Cool. It is enough to add that snippet in the workflow file? Or can you point me to the relevant documentario? :stuck_out_tongue:
