Note: this action used to be at eregon/use-ruby-action and was moved to the ruby organization.
This action downloads a prebuilt ruby and adds it to the PATH.
It is very efficient and takes about 5 seconds to download, extract and add the given Ruby to the PATH.
No extra packages need to be installed.
Compared to actions/setup-ruby, this actions supports many more versions and features.
This action currently supports these versions of MRI, JRuby and TruffleRuby:
| Interpreter | Versions |
|---|---|
| Ruby | 2.3.0 - 2.3.8, 2.4.0 - 2.4.9, 2.5.0 - 2.5.7, 2.6.0 - 2.6.5, 2.7.0, head |
| JRuby | 9.2.9.0 |
| TruffleRuby | 19.3.0, 19.3.1, head |
| Rubinius | 4.14 |
Note that Ruby 2.3 and the OpenSSL version it needs (1.0.2) are both end-of-life, which means Ruby 2.3 is unmaintained and considered insecure. On Windows, Ruby 2.4 uses OpenSSL 1.0.2, which is no longer maintained.
The action works for all GitHub-hosted runners.
| Operating System | Versions |
|---|---|
| Ubuntu | ubuntu-latest (= ubuntu-18.04), ubuntu-16.04 |
| macOS | macos-latest |
| Windows | windows-latest |
Rubinius is only available on ubuntu-latest.
The prebuilt releases are generated by ruby-builder
and on Windows by RubyInstaller2.
ruby-head is generated by ruby-dev-builder and truffleruby-head is generated by truffleruby-dev-builder.
The full list of available Ruby versions can be seen in ruby-builder-versions.js
for Ubuntu and macOS and in windows-versions.js for Windows.
