Rust cargo Action

This GitHub Action runs specified cargo command on a Rust language project.

Example workflow

on: [push]

name: CI

jobs:
  build_and_test:
    name: Rust project
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@master
      - uses: actions-rs/cargo@v1
        with:
          command: build
          arguments: --release --all-features

See additional recipes here.

Inputs

• command (required) - Cargo command to run (ex. check or build)
• toolchain - Rust toolchain to use (without the + sign, ex. nightly);
  Override or system toolchain will be used if omitted.
• args - Arguments for the cargo command
• use-cross - Use cross instead of cargo (default: false)

Virtual environments

Note that cargo is not available by default for some virtual environments; for example, as for 2019-09-15, macOS env is missing it.

You can use actions-rs/toolchain to install the Rust toolchain with cargo included.

Cross

In order to make cross-compilation an easy process, this Action can install cross tool on demand if use-cross input is enabled; cross executable will be invoked then instead of cargo automatically.

All consequent calls of this Action in the same job will use the same cross installed.
