This action sets up a Haskell environment for use in actions by:

optionally installing a version of ghc and cabal and adding to PATH.
optionally installing a version of Stack and adding to PATH.
setting the outputs of ghc-path, cabal-path, stack-path, and cabal-store when necessary.

The GitHub runners come with pre-installed versions of GHC and Cabal. Those will be used whenever possible. For all other versions, this action utilizes ppa:hvr/ghc, ghcup, and chocolatey.

Usage

See action.yml

Minimal:

on: [push]
name: build
jobs:
  runhaskell:
    name: Hello World
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest # or macOS-latest, or windows-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: actions/setup-haskell@v1.1
      - run: runhaskell Hello.hs

Basic:

on: [push]
name: build
jobs:
  runhaskell:
    name: Hello World
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest # or macOS-latest, or windows-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: actions/setup-haskell@v1.1
        with:
          ghc-version: '8.8' # Resolves to the latest point release of GHC 8.8
          cabal-version: '3.0.0.0' # Exact version of Cabal
      - run: runhaskell Hello.hs

Basic with Stack:

on: [push]
name: build
jobs:
  runhaskell:
    name: Hello World
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest # or macOS-latest, or windows-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: actions/setup-haskell@v1.1
        with:
          ghc-version: '8.8.3' # Exact version of ghc to use
          # cabal-version: 'latest'. Omitted, but defalts to 'latest'
          enable-stack: true
          stack-version: 'latest'
      - run: runhaskell Hello.hs

Matrix Testing:

on: [push]
name: build
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}
    strategy:
      matrix:
        ghc: ['8.6.5', '8.8.3']
        cabal: ['2.4.1.0', '3.0.0.0']
        os: [ubuntu-latest, macOS-latest, windows-latest]
        exclude:
          # GHC 8.8+ only works with cabal v3+
          - ghc: 8.8.3
            cabal: 2.4.1.0
    name: Haskell GHC ${{ matrix.ghc }} sample
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Setup Haskell
        uses: actions/setup-haskell@v1.1
        with:
          ghc-version: ${{ matrix.ghc }}
          cabal-version: ${{ matrix.cabal }}
      - run: runhaskell Hello.hs

Inputs

Name	Description	Type	Default
`ghc-version`	GHC version to use, ex. `latest`	string	latest
`cabal-version`	Cabal version to use, ex. `3.2`	string	latest
`stack-version`	Stack version to use, ex. `latest`. Stack will only be installed if enable-stack is set.	string	latest
`enable-stack`	If specified, will setup Stack.	"boolean"	false
`stack-no-global`	If specified, enable-stack must be set. Prevents installing GHC and Cabal globally	"boolean"	false
`stack-setup-ghc`	If specified, enable-stack must be set. Runs stack setup to install the specified GHC. (Note: setting this does not imply `stack-no-global`)	"boolean"	false

Outputs

Name	Description	Type
`ghc-path`	The path of the ghc executable directory	string
`cabal-path`	The path of the cabal executable directory	string
`stack-path`	The path of the stack executable directory	string
`cabal-store`	The path to the cabal store	string
`ghc-exe`	The path of the ghc executable	string
`cabal-exe`	The path of the cabal executable	string
`stack-exe`	The path of the stack executable	string

Version Support

GHC:

latest (default, recommended)
8.10.1 8.10
8.8.3 8.8
8.8.2
8.8.1
8.6.5 8.6
8.6.4
8.6.3
8.6.2
8.6.1
8.4.4 8.4
8.4.3
8.4.2
8.4.1
8.2.2 8.2
8.0.2 8.0
7.10.3 7.10

Suggestion: Try to support the three latest major versions of GHC.

Cabal:

latest (default, recommended)
3.2.0.0 3.2
3.0.0.0 3.0
2.4.1.0 2.4
2.4.0.0
2.2.0.0 2.2

Recommendation: Use the latest available version if possible.

Stack:

latest (recommended) -- follows the latest release automatically.
2.3.1 2.3
2.1.3 2.1
2.1.1
1.9.3.1 1.9
1.9.1.1
1.7.1 1.7
1.6.5 1.6
1.6.3.1
1.6.1.1
1.5.1 1.5
1.5.0
1.4.0 1.4
1.3.2 1.3
1.3.0
1.2.0 1.2

Recommendation: Use the latest available version if possible.

The full list of available versions of GHC, Cabal, and Stack are as follows:

Note: There are technically some descrepencies here. For example, "8.10.1-alpha1" will work for a ghc version for windows but not for Linux and macOS. For your sanity, I suggest sticking with the version lists above which are supported across all three operating systems.
