Pull request overview
This PR updates the smoke.yml workflow to replace the manual Add Go bin to PATH shell step with the actions/setup-go action, enabling automatic Go PATH setup and cross-run caching of the Go build and module cache via cache: true. The approach matches the existing pattern already used in ci.yml.
Changes:
- Replaced
Add Go bin to PATH(manualecho "$(go env GOPATH)/bin" >> "$GITHUB_PATH") withactions/setup-go@v6.2.0 - Added
go-version-file: go.modto use the project's declared Go version, consistent withci.yml - Enabled
cache: trueto cache the Go build/module cache across runs
Replace the manual 'Add Go bin to PATH' step with actions/setup-go, which handles PATH setup automatically and caches the Go build/module cache across runs (cache is enabled by default since v4, so no need to specify cache: true). Uses go-version-file to match the project's go.mod.

What
Replace the manual
Add Go bin to PATHstep withactions/setup-go, which handles PATH setup automatically and caches the Go build/module cache across runs.Why
The
go installstep in the smoke workflow takes ~23s.actions/setup-gocaches the Go build and module cache by default (since v4,cache: trueis the default so it doesn't need to be specified), so subsequent runs where the CLI version hasn't changed should be near-instant.Also uses
go-version-file: go.modto match the project's Go version, consistent withci.yml.Changes
Add Go bin to PATHshell step withactions/setup-go@v6.2.0go-version-file: go.mod(caching is enabled by default)
