Set the cache-dependency-glob default to **/uv.lock (#77)
We should aim for a solution with sane defaults that work as most users
would expect it.

The current default leads to a cache that is never invalidated and thus
never updated.

This also mirrors the default behaviors for setup-python which use
`**/requirements.txt`, `**/Pipfile.lock` or `**/poetry.lock`

Also make it clear that the uv cache on the filesystem can be uploaded to the GitHub Actions cache, but they are distinct things.

Also make it clear that the local cache path can be changed without using `enable-cache: true`

# setup-uv
Set up your GitHub Actions workflow with a specific version of [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/).
- Install a version of uv and add it to PATH
- Cache the installed version of uv to speed up consecutive runs on self-hosted runners
- Register problem matchers for error output
- (Optional) Persist the uv's cache in the GitHub Actions Cache
- (Optional) Verify the checksum of the downloaded uv executable

## Usage
### Install the latest version (default)
```yaml
- name: Install the latest version of uv
uses: astral-sh/setup-uv@v2
with:
version: "latest"
```
For an example workflow, see
[here](https://github.com/charliermarsh/autobot/blob/e42c66659bf97b90ca9ff305a19cc99952d0d43f/.github/workflows/ci.yaml).
> [!TIP]
>
> Using `latest` requires that uv download the executable on every run, which incurs a cost
> (especially on self-hosted runners). As a best practice, consider pinning the version to a
> specific release.
### Install a specific version
```yaml
- name: Install a specific version of uv
uses: astral-sh/setup-uv@v2
with:
version: "0.4.4"
```
### Validate checksum
You can also specify a checksum to validate the downloaded file. Checksums up to the default version
are automatically verified by this action. The sha265 hashes can be found on the
[releases page](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/releases) of the uv repo.
```yaml
- name: Install a specific version and validate the checksum
uses: astral-sh/setup-uv@v2
with:
version: "0.3.1"
checksum: "e11b01402ab645392c7ad6044db63d37e4fd1e745e015306993b07695ea5f9f8"
```
### Enable caching
If you enable caching, the [uv cache](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/concepts/cache/) will be cached to
the GitHub Actions Cache. This can speed up runs that reuse the cache by several minutes.
> [!TIP]
>
> On self-hosted runners this is usually not needed since the cache generated by uv
> on the runner's filesystem is not removed after a run.
> For more details see [Local cache path](#local-cache-path).
You can optionally define a custom cache key suffix.
```yaml
- name: Enable caching and define a custom cache key suffix
id: setup-uv
uses: astral-sh/setup-uv@v2
with:
enable-cache: true
cache-suffix: "optional-suffix"
```
When the cache was successfully restored, the output `cache-hit` will be set to `true` and you can
use it in subsequent steps. For example, to use the cache in the above case:
```yaml
- name: Do something if the cache was restored
if: steps.setup-uv.outputs.cache-hit == 'true'
run: echo "Cache was restored"
```
#### Cache dependency glob
If you want to control when the cache is invalidated, specify a glob pattern with the
`cache-dependency-glob` input. The cache will be invalidated if any file matching the glob pattern
changes. The glob matches files relative to the repository root.
> [!NOTE]
> The default is `**/uv.lock`.
```yaml
- name: Define a cache dependency glob
uses: astral-sh/setup-uv@v2
with:
enable-cache: true
cache-dependency-glob: "**/requirements*.txt"
```
```yaml
- name: Define a list of cache dependency globs
uses: astral-sh/setup-uv@v2
with:
enable-cache: true
cache-dependency-glob: |
**/requirements*.txt
**/pyproject.toml
```
```yaml
- name: Never invalidate the cache
uses: astral-sh/setup-uv@v2
with:
enable-cache: true
cache-dependency-glob: ""
```
### Local cache path
This action controls where uv stores its cache on the runner's filesystem.
You can change the default (`/tmp/setup-uv-cache`) by
specifying the path with the `cache-local-path` input.
```yaml
- name: Define a custom uv cache path
uses: astral-sh/setup-uv@v2
with:
cache-local-path: "/path/to/cache"
```
### GitHub authentication token
This action uses the GitHub API to fetch the uv release artifacts. To avoid hitting the GitHub API
rate limit too quickly, an authentication token can be provided via the `github-token` input. By
default, the `GITHUB_TOKEN` secret is used, which is automatically provided by GitHub Actions.
If the default
[permissions for the GitHub token](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-for-github-actions/security-guides/automatic-token-authentication#permissions-for-the-github_token)
are not sufficient, you can provide a custom GitHub token with the necessary permissions.
```yaml
- name: Install the latest version of uv with a custom GitHub token
uses: astral-sh/setup-uv@v2
with:
github-token: ${{ secrets.CUSTOM_GITHUB_TOKEN }}
```
## How it works
This action downloads uv from the uv repo's official
[GitHub Releases](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) and uses the
[GitHub Actions Toolkit](https://github.com/actions/toolkit) to cache it as a tool to speed up
consecutive runs on self-hosted runners.
The installed version of uv is then added to the runner PATH, enabling subsequent steps to invoke it
by name (`uv`).
## FAQ
### Do I still need `actions/setup-python` alongside `setup-uv`?
No. This action is modelled as a drop-in replacement for `actions/setup-python` when using uv. With
`setup-uv`, you can install a specific version of Python using `uv python install` rather than
relying on `actions/setup-python`.
For example:
```yaml
- name: Checkout the repository
uses: actions/checkout@main
- name: Install the latest version of uv
uses: astral-sh/setup-uv@v2
with:
enable-cache: true
- name: Test
run: uv run --frozen pytest
```
To install a specific version of Python, use
[`uv python install`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/install-python/):
```yaml
- name: Install the latest version of uv
uses: astral-sh/setup-uv@v2
with:
enable-cache: true
- name: Install Python 3.12
run: uv python install 3.12
```
### What is the default version?
By default, this action installs the latest version of uv.
If you require the installed version in subsequent steps of your workflow, use the `uv-version`
output:
```yaml
- name: Checkout the repository
uses: actions/checkout@main
- name: Install the default version of uv
id: setup-uv
uses: astral-sh/setup-uv@v2
- name: Print the installed version
run: echo "Installed uv version is ${{ steps.setup-uv.outputs.uv-version }}"
```
