• Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
• Windows Server 2016 R2
• Windows Server 2019

Can this tool be installed during the build?
It can be, but it's not trivial. There is some discussions going on in the feature request thread on the community site: https://github.community/t5/GitHub-Actions/Feature-request-Pre-installed-Qt-on-Windows/m-p/31004#M680

Describe the bug
The following standard build command for C extensions in Python fails for all Windows environments for all supported Python versions:

python setup.py build_ext --inplace

It appears that the appropriate versions of Microsoft Visual C++ are not installed/configured.

Please note that the correct MSVC++ version varies across Python versions; see here for specifics.

Virtual environments affected

• macOS 10.14
• Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
• Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
• Windows Server 2016 R2
• Windows Server 2019

Expected behavior
It should be possible to build Python C extensions in Windows virtual environments. For a Python build/test pipeline, this means selecting the correct version to use for a given Python version.

Actual behavior
This should be reproducible for any Python library with any C (or Cython) components on Windows. I encountered the issue while attempting to configure Github Actions for such a library that I maintain. An example of a failed build log is https://github.com/pydata/bottleneck/runs/240915673

1. Use the workflow file found here: pydata/bottleneck@630a398#diff-fd3c00174dcaf7b8a36765f1a3de6791
2. Build will fail at C compilation step as the appropriate version of MS Visual C++ is not installed.
   
3. When fixed, it should be possible to build Python C extensions on Windows.

Describe the bug
The windows image has a different version of node installed and cached from the other images making matrix testing inconsistent.

Virtual environments affected

• macOS 10.14
• Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
• Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
• Windows Server 2016 R2
• Windows Server 2019

Expected behavior
A consistent version of node. I realize that timing of images will vary but I don't think that's the issue. I think the image cache and the scripts are inconsistent between the images.

Actual behavior
Insonsistent versions of node.

See: actions/setup-node#27

When using setup-ruby, on ubuntu, bundler is not installed, and can be installed by gem install bundler.

But on macos, bundler is available by default, but also breaks if you try to install it using gem install bundler.

I'm still on the 'wait list' for Actions, so I haven't been able to look into it seriously.

To fully support Ruby on Windows, it would certainly be helpful to have the MSYS2 build system installed, along with access to the packages used to build Ruby. Restricting Ruby to 2.4 and later, I believe all the packages are shared, with the exception of OpenSSL.

Ruby 2.4 currently uses OpenSSL 1.0.2, Ruby 2.5 and later use 1.1.1. This is due to the std-lib version of Ruby OpenSSL being used (2.0.9 for 2.4, 2.1.2 for 2.5 and later).

Otherwise, the only package commonly used that isn't repo specific would be ragel.

Describe the bug
This article lists libcurl between the available software for ubuntu-latest, however installing the Patron ruby gem fails with Can't find libcurl or curl/curl.h (RuntimeError).

Virtual environments affected

• macOS 10.14
• Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
• Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
• Windows Server 2016 R2
• Windows Server 2019

Expected behavior
It should be possible to install the patron gem without first installing any other dependency (apart from bundler).

Actual behavior
Installation of Patron ruby gem fails with Can't find libcurl or curl/curl.h (RuntimeError).
Adding sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev to the step fixes the issue, but it should not be necessary.

Workflow job:

  build:

Chrome is available on Linux and Windows, for absent from macOS. It'd be nice if it was available on all.

It's not complicated to add ourselves, but it adds more noise to the workflow file (I have a growing list of things like this that just set up one tool on one OS).

Note that the Ubuntu versions can probably be dealt with via a simple apt-get, but the Mac and Windows environments require running an interactive installer.

Can this tool be installed during the build?
Uncertain. It's possible that the installer has an unattended mode that can be used but I've never tried to do so. Some components included in the SDK (such as the SPIRV tooling) can be acquired via other means, such as using vcpkg to install the spirv-tools library. However, it's worth noting that the vcpkg port for Vulkan specifically says

Due to the complexity involved, this package doesn't install the Vulkan SDK.

It instead verifies that Vulkan is installed.

Other packages can depend on this package to declare a dependency on Vulkan.

Indicating that building the VulkanSDK from source is extremely non-trivial

Are you willing to submit a PR?
I'm uncertain what a PR could accomplish in this area, since the installation of the SDK is typically a manual process. But sure, I'll submit a PR if someone can provide guidance on a mechanism and within my ability to fix.

I'm trying to set up Github Actions as our CI solution but ran into an issue when I tried to specify the Ruby version as 2.6.2. After looking through other issues on here I found actions/setup-ruby#8 and from that discovered that when 2.6.3 was released 2.6.2 was dropped and that the recommendation was to

If this is to be usable for CI then I need to be able to test against the same Ruby version that my app uses in production. With the current way Ruby versions are managed by this project it seems like unless I'm using a very specific Ruby version and upgrading the version I use in prod to stay in sync. Is Github Actions not intended for use as a CI solution or is there a better way to test against a particular Ruby version?

Describe the bug
From reading this post, one could assume that both macOS-14.04 and macOS-latest virtual environments have been updated to Mono 6.0 (among other things): https://github.blog/changelog/2019-10-04-github-actions-macos-virtual-environment-updates/

This doesn't seem to be the case, as both of these virtual environments are still on Mono 5.x (not to mention older versions of Xamarin, msbuild etc.).
I'm assuming this is either a bug, or a really slow rollout, but in either case I'd appreciate it if you could let me know if/when this will be fixed, as I desperately need an up-to-date environments, so my builds don't break. :)

Describe the bug
Lately Windows environment has random case drive letter for partition D:. Sometime it's D:\, and sometime it's d:\. In the same logs I see that Node.js installed on partition C: all the time (it's uppercased). This drive letter case difference makes our tests fail. Because Node.js for some reason always use uppercase drive letter in it's core modules.

Virtual environments affected

Not sure which one, we use windows-latest.

Expected behavior
Expecting that drive letter always would be uppercased. E. g. D:.

Actual behavior
I can't spot any pattern when this happen. If our build failed, I could restart it n times and it would be still failing, but on n + 1 time it would succeed.

Here's our workflow: https://github.com/stylelint/stylelint/blob/e8bf1a1e47e02100c268bd903ab1e06195a41e8e/.github/workflows/nodejs.yml#L37-L62

Successful run, with drive letter D:: https://github.com/stylelint/stylelint/runs/253213464 for this commit stylelint/stylelint@20a7954

Failed run, with drive letter d:: https://github.com/stylelint/stylelint/runs/253528783 for this commit stylelint/stylelint@febfbb6

It's a two sequential commits 5 hours apart. Test fails because path Node.js provides (always uppercase drive letter) doesn't match real drive letter (sometimes lowercase).

Essentially the same problem as actions/setup-ruby#8.

Since 2.6.4 is a release for security reasons everyone should be able update ASAP, which gives the topic a certain urgency.

Has anyone found a way to install a specific ruby version manually?

Virtual environments affected

• macOS 10.14
• Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
• Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
• Windows Server 2016 R2
• Windows Server 2019

Expected behavior

apt-get upgrade --no-install-recommends -y --force-yes should succeed to upgrade existing packages.

Actual behavior

apt-get upgrade ... fails with the follow messages:

Unsafe symlinks encountered in /run/php, refusing.
Job for php7.3-fpm.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status php7.3-fpm.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Description
In a runs-on: windows-latest job running a shell: bash step, the sha256sum -c command fails because of an unexpected CR byte in the file name:

sha256sum: 'libusb-1.0.22.7z'$'\r': No such file or directory

Setting text eol=lf for the checksum file in .gitattributes fixes the issue.

Maybe this isn't really a bug (it would arguably be a bug in sha256sum if anything), but at least it is surprising behaviour.

Virtual environments affected

• macOS 10.14
• Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
• Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
• Windows Server 2016 R2 (probably this one too, haven't tested)
• Windows Server 2019

Expected behavior
The sha256sum command, when run in a bash shell, behaves as it would in Linux/MacOS, and successfully verifies the checksum of the file.

Actual behavior
The checksum file is by default checked out with CRLF line endings, and sha256sum fails to find the file to be checked because of the trailing CR in the file name.

For reproduction, see this build and the github-actions-windows-sha256sum-bug-report branch in YubiKey Manager (these links will probably die soon)

On Ubuntu-16.04, when building extension gems that use OpenSSL, they are building with OpenSSL 1.1.1, but the Rubies are using 1.0.2.

I haven't seen this on Travis, and it may create some testing confusion. It's not uncommon for tests to use Ruby for SSL sockets or net/http for clients. But, one's protocols won't line up (1.0.2 may have SSLv3, 1.1.1 has TLSv1.3, etc)...

Otherwise, on Ubuntu-18.04, everything is 1.1.1, on macOS, everything is 1.0.2...

JFYI, on Travis macOS, the OpenSSL version used is dependent on the XCode version, and both 1.0.2 and 1.1.1 are available...

Is there an equivalent to circleci/node:jessie-browsers for GitHub Actions?

I'm trying to test an Electron app but Chrome isn't available.

unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally
      (unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
      (The process started from chrome location /home/runner/work/.../node_modules/spectron/lib/launcher.js is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)

I imagine there are other use case too for integration tests on any front-end app.

The vcpkg binary exists on the target environments, but it would be much more useful if the YAML could specify a specific vcpkg commit, and a set of packages required for a given build. If the server side could recognize and cache this state, it could potentially shave an enormous amount of time off of individual builds.

Yes

Are you willing to submit a PR?
Once caching support exists in the GA syntax, yes, I would be willing to write a tool like this.

Environment information
I would like to be able to request Arch Linux as a build platform because honestly Ubuntu is sometimes horribly failing to provide a clean build environment (outdated compiler, g++-9 wont install due to a package conflict rendering ubuntu unusable for one of my projects). Arch shouldn't have such issues and is a very small OS, there are exisiting VM images to start of with. It would be nice to have an AUR helper (namely yay) installed in case AUR packages are required.

Are you willing to submit a PR?
Yes
