GitHub Actions status

This action installs a specified version of GHC and Cabal. It can also install Stack.

Currently only Linux comes with pre-installed versions of GHC and Cabal. Those will be used whenever possible. For all other versions and for Windows and macOS, this action utilizes ghcup and chocolatey.

Usage

See action.yml

Basic:

on: [push]
name: build
jobs:
  runhaskell:
    name: Hello World
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest # or macOS-latest, or windows-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: actions/setup-haskell@v1
        with:
          ghc-version: '8.8.3' # Exact version of ghc to use
          cabal-version: '3.0.0.0'
      - run: runhaskell Hello.hs

Basic with Stack:

on: [push]
name: build
jobs:
  runhaskell:
    name: Hello World
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest # or macOS-latest, or windows-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: actions/setup-haskell@v1
        with:
          ghc-version: '8.8.3' # Exact version of ghc to use
          cabal-version: '3.0.0.0'
          stack-version: 'latest'
      - run: runhaskell Hello.hs

Matrix Testing:

on: [push]
name: build
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}
    strategy:
      matrix:
        ghc: ['8.6.5', '8.8.3']
        cabal: ['2.4.1.0', '3.0.0.0']
        os: [ubuntu-latest, macOS-latest, windows-latest]
        exclude:
          # GHC 8.8+ only works with cabal v3+
          - ghc: 8.8.3
            cabal: 2.4.1.0
    name: Haskell GHC ${{ matrix.ghc }} sample
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Setup Haskell
        uses: actions/setup-haskell@v1
        with:
          ghc-version: ${{ matrix.ghc }}
          cabal-version: ${{ matrix.cabal }}
      - run: runhaskell Hello.hs

Inputs

Name Required Description Type Default
ghc-version GHC version to use, ex. 8.8.3 string 8.8.3
cabal-version Cabal version to use, ex. 3.0.0.0 string 3.0.0.0
stack-version Stack version to use, ex. latest. Stack will only be installed if this option is set string
stack-no-global If specified, stack-version must be set. Prevents installing GHC and Cabal globally "boolean"
stack-setup-ghc If specified, stack-version must be set. Runs stack setup to install the specified GHC. (Note: setting this does not imply stack-no-global) "boolean" 3.0.0.0

Version Support

GHC:

  • 8.8.3 (default)
  • 8.8.2
  • 8.8.1
  • 8.6.5
  • 8.6.4
  • 8.6.3
  • 8.6.2
  • 8.6.1
  • 8.4.4
  • 8.4.3
  • 8.4.2
  • 8.4.1
  • 8.2.2
  • 8.0.2
  • 7.10.3

Cabal:

  • 3.0.0.0 (default)
  • 2.4.1.0
  • 2.4.0.0
  • 2.2.0.0

Recommendation: Cabal is almost always fully backwards compatible and so for most purposes, using the latest available version is sufficient

Stack:

  • latest (recommended) -- follows the latest release automatically.
  • 2.1.3
  • 2.1.1
  • 1.9.3.1
  • 1.9.1.1
  • 1.7.1
  • 1.6.5
  • 1.6.3.1
  • 1.6.1.1
  • 1.5.1
  • 1.5.0

Recommendation: Stack follows SemVer, and additionally attempts to remain backwards compatible across major versions whenever reasonable. Using the latest available version is almost always sufficient

The full list of available versions of GHC, Cabal, and Stack are as follows:

Note: There are technically some descrepencies here. For example, "8.10.1-alpha1" will work for a ghc version for windows but not for Linux and macOS. For your sanity, I suggest sticking with the version lists above which are supported across all three operating systems.
