v4.0.0

In scope of release we enable cache by default. The action won’t throw an error if the cache can’t be restored or saved. The action will throw a warning message but it won’t stop a build process. The cache can be disabled by specifying cache: false.

steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v3
  - uses: actions/setup-go@v4
    with:
      go-version: ‘1.19’
  - run: go run hello.go

Besides, we introduce such changes as

• Allow to use only GOCACHE for cache
• Bump json5 from 2.2.1 to 2.2.3
• Use proper version for primary key in cache
• Always add Go bin to the PATH
• Add step warning if go-version input is empty

Add support for stable and oldstable aliases

In scope of this release we introduce aliases for the go-version input. The stable alias instals the latest stable version of Go. The oldstable alias installs previous latest minor release (the stable is 1.19.x -> the oldstable is 1.18.x).

Stable

steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v3
  - uses: actions/setup-go@v3
    with:
      go-version: 'stable'
  - run: go run hello.go

OldStable

steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v3
  - uses: actions/setup-go@v3
    with:
      go-version: 'oldstable'
  - run: go run hello.go

Add support for go.work and pass the token input through on GHES

In scope of this release we added support for go.work file to pass it in go-version-file input.

steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v3
  - uses: actions/setup-go@v3
    with:
      go-version-file: go.work
  - run: go run hello.go

Besides, we added support to pass the token input through on GHES.

Fix cache issues and update dependencies

In scope of this release we fixed the issue with the correct generation of the cache key when the go-version-file input is set (#267). Moreover, we fixed an issue when the cache folder was not found. Besides, we updated actions/core to 1.10.0 version (#273).

Support architecture input and fix Expand-Archive issue

This release introduces support for architecture input for setup-go action #253. It also adds support for arm32 architecture for self-hosted runners. If architecture is not provided action will use default runner architecture.
Example of usage:

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: actions/setup-go@v3
  with:
   go-version: '1.16'
   architecture: arm

This release also provides fix for issue #241. #250 adds support for using explicit filename for Windows which is necessary to satisfy Expand-Archive's requirement on .zip extension.

Update actions/cache version to 3.0.0

In scope of this release we updated actions/cache package as the new version contains fixes for caching error handling

Support for caching dependency files and compiler's build outputs

This release introduces support for caching dependency files and compiler's build outputs #228. For that action uses @toolkit/cache library under the hood that in turn allows getting rid of configuring @actions/cache action separately and simplifies the whole workflow.

Such input parameters as cache and cache-dependency-path were added. The cache input is optional, and caching is turned off by default, cache-dependency-path is used to specify the path to a dependency file - go.sum.

Examples of use-cases:

• cache input only:

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: actions/setup-go@v3
  with:
    go-version: '18'
    cache: true

• cache along with cache-dependency-path:

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: actions/setup-go@v3
  with:
    go-version: '18'
    cache: true
    cache-dependency-path: subdir/go.sum
