Not that I am aware of, but if it is, please tell me.

Are you willing to submit a PR?
It depends on how much work it would be. I am not familiar with the underlying structure here, but if someone can guide me I'd be willing to give it a shot.

in theory apt install -y valgrind and then passing configuration which is pita

[thoward27]

Yes @Kreyren but last time I checked apt install isn't allowed in actions. Has this changed?

[Kreyren]

@thoward27 Not that i am aware of, but i don't have a way to test the contribution due to the requirement for Azure VM.

Tool can be installed in runtime using the following script:

sudo apt install -y valgrind

Installation takes about 13 seconds

[thoward27]

Is apt install allowed inside of actions now?

[maxim-lobanov]

@thoward27 , yep, you can install any software in runtime if needs

[alepauly]

@thoward27 thanks for your suggestion and sorry it took so long to respond. As @maxim-lobanov mentioned, yes you should be able to install during your build. I'll close this request because I don't think it's something we need to bake into the environment but let me know if you have any questions.

Hello! Sorry to open this post again, but although "sudo apt install -y valgrind" worked in recent times, it does not since 2 days ago. This is the output of the command, any clue on how to proceed now?

Run sudo apt install -y valgrind

@juanmanzanero have you tried executing apt-get update? I would also suggest upgrading your base image as a potential option

[juanmanzanero]

It works!!! Thank you very much!!!

Thank you. I used this:

run: sudo apt install -y valgrind

And then I got this error:

Run sudo apt install -y valgrind

So I updated mine to this:

run: sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y valgrind

That did the trick.
