amber-script-action

Run arbitrary Amber script via GitHub Actions. Inspired by actions/github-script.

Note

This is a composite action because I want less maintaining costs. There is a limitation of composite action itself:

• Name of steps are not displayed. (GitHub discussion)

Usage

See action.yaml

- uses: lens0021/amber-script-action@v1
  with:
    # The script to run.
    script: ""

    # The version to use.
    # Examples: 0.4.0-alpha, 0.3.5-alpha
    # Default: 0.4.0-alpha
    amber-version: ""

    # Whether to cache Amber binaries and the compiled bash scripts
    # Default: true
    enable-cache: ""

    # The path to store Amber binaries and the compiled bash scripts.
    # If empty string is given, the used path depends on the runner.
    # Default (Linux): '/home/runner/.amber-script-action'
    # Default (Mac): '/Users/runner/.amber-script-action'
    cache-path: ""

Basic:

on: push

jobs:
  hello-world:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: lens0021/amber-script-action@v1
        with:
          script: |
            const msg = "Hello World!"
            echo msg
            echo "The length of the previous message is {len msg}."

When to Use This Action

This action is designed for light-weight inline scripting directly in your workflow files.

If you need to execute larger Amber programs from separate files, use lens0021/setup-amber instead:

- uses: lens0021/setup-amber@v2
  with:
    amber-version: 0.5.1-alpha
- run: amber your-script.ab

This approach gives you proper syntax highlighting, LSP integration, and keeps your workflow files concise.
