Dec 1, 2024December 2024 monthly summary for fabrictest/action-setup-lix. Delivered core CI/CD and usability enhancements with a focus on reliability, observability, and developer experience. Key outcomes include enabling import of the current state, bootstrapping Lix in CI, structured action logs for easier debugging, pre-install artifact verification, and a streamlined action execution model. CI infrastructure was hardened with tag verification via GitHub API, improved permissions, and clearer build/release workflows. These changes reduce manual toil, speed up CI runs, and improve release accuracy for customer-facing updates. Key features delivered: - Import Current State: added functionality to import the current state into the system. Commit a31e0f23591fd5b63d036f166a882a0d8b656d11 - CI Tooling Bootstrap with action-setup-lix: bootstrap Lix in CI using action-setup-lix to streamline environment setup. Commit 9f65c8497e4e6cfabf5fbd7ba2228f2b6dcddb5b - Grouped and Emit Grouped Action Logs: group action logs and emit grouped logs for easier analysis. Commits 0a735889ca143d617cb11574c0ae59366f2d77df and 4de05e4d4e7eb710b3d244fb6d93b47515750b45 - Action simplification and pre-install artifact verification: rewrite the action to a single run step and verify Lix store artifacts before installing. Commits 972e4abdb2f3fbba8ce22381880bfc0fe25f4b55 and 0e0495c097f4d3471f5e59ffcad831cacc2646a5 - CI Infrastructure Improvements: remove find calls, verify tags via GitHub API, fix permissions, pretty-print build matrix, always update release PRs. Commits ea02847bc9ec315d61dd823262fbcf404ec764b1, 4b1504acd0a5e7888c451e43ae07a6da83a67260, c4b9fde5ff549f12bc2b7aaa36f9869e39168703, 409cbb533c01f4be9ec8311caf6a27b995c5795b, 66744a16f737c62a413ca0fa785c1438a9979aaf Major bugs fixed: - Fix Publish Workflow Name: corrected the publish workflow name. Commit 337541f834429b6ff28bbde3c2d338e7096625d5 - Silence nix-env Call: silence the nix-env call to avoid noisy output or errors. Commit 09b0f0906a6bb9f566c0d9b3f852ce5f8316163d - Fix Version References in Uses Clauses: fix version references in setup uses clauses.
