Builds and installs LuaRocks from source into the .luarocks/ directory in the working directory. Configures PATH, LUA_PATH, and LUA_CPATH environment variables to be able to use the luarocks command directly in workflows, and require installed modules in Lua.

leafo/gh-actions-lua can be used to install Lua, which is required for LuaRocks to build and run. (This action will use any Lua installed in .lua/).

Installs Lua, LuaRocks, then install a module:

- uses: leafo/gh-actions-lua@v9
- uses: leafo/gh-actions-luarocks@v4

# Install some package
- name: install a module
  run: luarocks install moonscript

For a more complete example see: https://github.com/leafo/gh-actions-lua/blob/master/README.md#full-example

Default: "3.8.0"

Specifies which version of LuaRocks to install. Must be listed on https://luarocks.github.io/luarocks/releases/

Example:

- uses: leafo/gh-actions-luarocks@v4
  with:
    luarocksVersion: "3.1.3"

Default: null (Optional)

Manually specify the path to an existing Lua installation to use. This is not necessary if you are using leafo/gh-actions-lua. Will build LuaRocks with ./configure --with-lua=$withLuaPath

Example:

- uses: leafo/gh-actions-luarocks@v4
  with:
    withLuaPath: "/usr/local/openresty/luajit/"
