GitHub Action to install Rust's toolchain via the rust-toolchain.toml file in your repository.

Fork of https://github.com/dtolnay/rust-toolchain that supports and makes it mandatory to use a rust-toolchain.toml file. Unfortunately rust-toolchain did not want to support installing from a rust-toolchain.toml file, so this project exists. If you do not want to use a rust-toolchain.toml file, then please use that project as this action does not support other inputs.

Note: GitHub actions now automatically sets up the Rust version based on the rust-toolchain.toml, but it won't setup the other defaults from dtolnay/rust-toolchain for you like enabling colours on the CI as this action will.

1. Create a rust-toolchain.toml file in the root directory of your repository:

   [toolchain]
   channel = "1.68"
   components = [ "rustfmt", "clippy" ]

2. Add an entry to this action in your GitHub Actions workflow file (ensure the repo is checked out first):

   name: test suite
   on: [push, pull_request]
   
   jobs:
     test:
       name: cargo test
       runs-on: ubuntu-latest
       steps:
         - uses: actions/checkout@v3
         - uses: dsherret/rust-toolchain-file@v1
         - run: cargo test --all-features

The selection of Rust toolchain on the CI will then be made based on the rust-toolchain.toml file enabling you to easily keep it in sync with your local development versions and have a single source of truth for what version to use.

You must define everything in the rust-toolchain.toml file.
