setup-gel v1

This action downloads and installs Gel CLI and/or Gel Server and makes both available in PATH.

Usage

See action.yml for the action's specification.

How this action works:

This action executes different commands depending on state of files in repository and inputs for action in workflow. It can:

1. Install Gel tools (CLI and/or server)
2. Create new Gel instance
3. Initialize new Gel project or link an existing one to remote instance

The following examples show how to use this action.

Example (installs stable Gel CLI with server and makes them available in $PATH) Note: if your repository has gel.toml file, then this action will also initialize new project for your workflow. Otherwise, it will just install Gel CLI and executable server that you can use on your own.

on: push

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: CI with Gel action
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: geldata/setup-gel@v1
      - run: gel --version

Example (installs latest Gel CLI without server and makes CLI available in $PATH)

on: push

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: CI with Gel action
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: geldata/setup-gel@v1
        with:
          cli-version: nightly
          server-version: none
      - run: gel --version

Example (installs Gel CLI with server, creates new Gel instance and links it using gel project init) NOTE: this assumes that repository for the project has already been initialized using gel project init and gel.toml file exists in the repository.

on: push

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: CI with Gel action
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: geldata/setup-gel@v1
      - run: gel query "SELECT 'Hello from GitHub Actions'"

Example (same as one above, but using services from GitHub Actions and gel project init --link)

on: push

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: CI with Gel action
    services:
      gel:
        image: geldata/gel:6
        env:
          EDGEDB_SERVER_SECURITY: insecure_dev_mode
        ports:
          - 5656:5656
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: geldata/setup-gel@v1
        with:
          server-dsn: gel://localhost:5656
          instance-name: ci_gel_instance # optional
      - run: gel query "SELECT 'Hello from GitHub Actions'"

Example (creates new instance, but overrides server-version from gel.toml if project initialization is to be used)

on: push

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: CI with Gel action
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: geldata/setup-gel@v1
        with:
          server-version: 6.0
          instance-name: ci_gel_instance
      - run: gel query "SELECT 'Hello from GitHub Actions'"
