setup-bazelisk v3

Set up your GitHub Actions workflow with a specific version of Bazelisk

Note that GitHub Actions includes Bazelisk by default as of actions/runner-images#490 so this setup is not necessary unless you want to customize the Bazelisk version, or are running Bazel inside a container.

This action sets up Bazelisk for use in actions by:

• optionally downloading and caching a version of Bazelisk by version and adding to PATH
• setting up cache for downloaded Bazel versions

Usage

See action.yml

Basic:

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v6
- uses: step-security/setup-bazelisk@v3
- name: Mount bazel cache  # Optional
  uses: actions/cache@v5
  with:
    path: "~/.cache/bazel"
    key: bazel
- run: bazel build //...

Known issues on Windows

• This action doesn't work with PowerShell. Make sure to have shell: bash in your run: steps.
• Windows removes one of the slashes (/) when two are present (bazel test //tests/... becomes bazel test /tests/... and fails). As a workaround, don't have any prefix //. Since all runs start at WORKSPACE dir, it should work all the same.

Full workaround example on windows:

- name: Run tests
  run: bazel test tests/...
  shell: bash
