A CLI tool that retrieves the tested-with stanza of a cabal file and formats it in such a way that GitHub Actions can use it.

The inputs of the action (under the with: stanza) are the following:

• cabal-file: The path to your cabal file, e.g. somefolder/myproject.cabal. required;
• version: Version of the tool. required;
• windows: (legacy) Enable Windows runner, latest version. required: false, default: false;
• windows-version: Enable Windows runner. If both windows and windows-version inputs are set, the explicit version will take priority. required: false, default: "";
• macos: (legacy) Enable macOS runner, latest version. required: false, default: false;
• macos-version: Enable macOS runner. If both macos and macos-version inputs are set, the explicit version will take priority. required: false, default: "";
• ubuntu: (legacy) Enable Ubuntu runner, latest version. required: false, default: false;
• ubuntu-version: Enable Ubuntu runner. If both ubuntu and ubuntu-version inputs are set, the explicit version will take priority. required: false, default: "".

See below for an example:

jobs:
  generate-matrix:
    name: "Generate matrix from cabal"
    outputs: 
      matrix: ${{ steps.set-matrix.outputs.matrix }}
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Extract the tested GHC versions
        id: set-matrix
        uses: kleidukos/[email protected]
        with:
          cabal-file: get-tested.cabal
          ubuntu-version: "latest"
          macos-version: "13"
          version: 0.1.7.0
  tests:
    name: ${{ matrix.ghc }} on ${{ matrix.os }}
    needs: generate-matrix
    runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}
    strategy:
      matrix: ${{ fromJSON(needs.generate-matrix.outputs.matrix) }}
