This is a reusable workflow for GitHub Actions. It is not a GitHub Action. The difference is that a reusable workflow, like this one, defines a set of jobs. An Action defines a set of steps.
This workflow is designed to help me test my Perl projects, all of which use
Dist::Zilla. It does the following things:
- Builds a release tarball using
dzil. - Downloads that tarball and runs all of the tests including author, dev, etc.
- Downloads that tarball and runs the normal tests on a variety of platforms and Perls.
Yes? It's not really designed to be super flexible and reusable, but maybe it will work for your needs.
Before you report any issues, here are some things I don't want to do with this workflow:
- Support Perl distros that don't use
dzil. - Support Perl versions that aren't provided by
shogo82148/actions-setup-perl. - Do a lot of work on this to support a bizarre use case, where I get to decide what qualifies as "bizarre".
With that said, do feel free to report issues. If it's not something I want to support, that's ok. I will politely close the issue.
