alexellis / arkade-get Goto Github PK

The action fills up our runner when run couple of time. It creates always new /tmp/arkade-* and then the storage fills up.
What can we do against that? Maybe something with #35?

@alexellis is it possible to trigger the update-tools action manually so it pulls in the latest arkade with the JQ fix?

Before:

    - uses: alexellis/setup-arkade@v2
    - uses: alexellis/arkade-get@master
      with:
        kubectl: latest
        faas-cli: 0.14.10
    - name: check for faas-cli
      run: |
        faas-cli version

After:

    - uses: alexellis/arkade-get@master
      with:
        kubectl: latest
        faas-cli: 0.14.10
    - name: check for faas-cli
      run: |
        faas-cli version

Bear in mind that the bash script installer for arkade is OS and arch aware, and this needs to be kept for the arkade-get action too. At least for Linux aarch64 and amd64.

Today I learned from @rodrik, that if this setup-arkade action places its tools within the _work/_tool directory instead of $HOME/.arkade/bin/ then these will be cached by the runner instead of being downloaded one each run.

Most pre-existing setup-xyz actions that use the GitHub JavaScript library already do this.

Flags:
      --arch string      CPU architecture for the tool (default "x86_64")
  -h, --help             help for get
      --os string        Operating system for the tool (default "Linux")
  -o, --output string    Output format of the list of tools (table/markdown/list)
      --progress         Display a progress bar (default true)
      --quiet            Suppress most additional output
      --stash            When set to true, stash binary in HOME/.arkade/bin/, otherwise store in /tmp/ (default true)
  -v, --version string   Download a specific version

We may need an additional --path folder, or to download first to the usual location, then to move the files.

I'm open to a PR to arkade to add the flag for a custom path or ENV-var to redirect where binaries are downloaded from arkade get
