How to Write Tests using Github Actions

I explain how to write tests using Github Actions. This tests are run on Windows, Linux/Ubuntu(64bit, 32bit), Mac, and support Perl 5.8. Dependent CPAN modules can be used.

Examples of Tests using Github Actions

See examples at first.

Examples

Downloading cpanm

Download cpanm into your home direcotry of your product and add excutable permission to it.

curl -L http://cpanmin.us > cpanm
chmod +x cpanm

Github Actions Definitions

These are Github Actions.

Linux - Ubuntu - 64bit

Ubuntrulinux-ubuntu-latest.yml

name: linux-ubuntu-latest

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - '*'
    tags-ignore:
      - '*'
  pull_request:

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v1
      - run: perl -V
      - run: perl -MConfig -MData::Dumper -e 'local $Data::Dumper::Sortkeys = 1;warn Dumper \%Config;'
      - run: perl cpanm -L ~/mylib -n SPVM
      - run: echo "PERL5LIB=$HOME/mylib/lib/perl5/"$(perl -MConfig -e 'print $Config{archname}') >> $GITHUB_ENV
      - run: perl Makefile.PL
      - run: make
