'Is it possible to have Github Actions for Elixir with Windows?
Background
I have GithubActions script that tries to do some basic setup for Elixir using a Windows system. The reason I need it to be windows is because I am releasing for Windows.
Problem
So the start of my script is as simple as I could make it:
name: build
env:
MIX_ENV: test
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
on:
push:
branches: [ master ]
pull_request:
branches: [ master ]
jobs:
build:
name: Build on Windows
runs-on: windows-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Setup elixir
uses: actions/setup-elixir@v1
with:
elixir-version: '1.13.x' # Define the elixir version [required]
otp-version: '24.2.x' # Define the OTP version [required]
- name: Install Dependencies
run: mix deps.get
- name: Run credo code analyser
run: mix credo --strict
However, the run fails:
Questions
- Am I doing something wrong?
- Is it possible to have a GitHub Action that runs Elixir in Windows?
- If not, how can I test my code in GitHub Actions while making sure it would also work for Windows?
