This action sets up an Erlang/OTP environment for use in a GitHub Actions workflow by:
- installing Erlang/OTP
- optionally, installing Elixir
- optionally, installing
rebar3
Note Currently, this action only supports Actions' ubuntu- runtimes.
Usage
See action.yml.
Note The Erlang/OTP release version specification is relatively
complex.
For best results, we recommend specifying exact Erlang/OTP, Elixir versions, and
rebar3 versions.
However, values like 22.x are also accepted, and we attempt to resolve them
according to semantic versioning rules.
Additionally, it is recommended that one specifies Erlang/OTP, Elixir and rebar3 versions
using YAML strings, as these examples do, so that numbers like 23.0 don't
end up being parsed as 23, which is not equivalent.
For pre-release Elixir versions, such as 1.11.0-rc.0, use the full version
specifier (1.11.0-rc.0). Pre-release versions are opt-in, so 1.11.x will
not match a pre-release.

Authenticating with Postgres in Phoenix
When using the Phoenix example above, the postgres container has some
default authentication set up. Specifically, it expects a username of
"postgres", and a password of "postgres". It will be available at
localhost:5432.
The simplest way of setting these auth values in CI is by checking for the
GITHUB_ACTIONS environment variable that is set in all workflows:
# config/test.exs
use Mix.Config
# Configure the database for local testing
config :app, App.Repo,
database: "my_app_test",
hostname: "localhost",
pool: Ecto.Adapters.SQL.Sandbox
# Configure the database for GitHub Actions
if System.get_env("GITHUB_ACTIONS") do
config :app, App.Repo,
username: "postgres",
password: "postgres"
end
