setup-dart installs and sets up a Dart SDK for use in GitHub Actions; it:

• downloads the Dart SDK
• adds the dart tool to the system path

To install the latest stable Dart SDK and run typical checks:

name: Dart

on:
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]
  push:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: dart-lang/setup-dart@v1

      - run: dart pub get
      - run: dart format --output=none --set-exit-if-changed .
      - run: dart analyze
      - run: dart test

The action takes the following inputs:

• sdk: Which SDK version to setup. Can be specified using one of three forms:

  • A release channel, which will install the latest build from that channel. Available channels are stable, beta, dev, and main. See the Dart SDK archive for details.
  • An SDK release version - e.g. 2.19 or 3.1. This will install the latest patch release for that specific release version.
  • A specific SDK version, e.g. 2.19.0 or 2.12.0-1.4.beta.

• flavor: Which build flavor to setup.

  • The available build flavors are release and raw.
  • The release flavor contains published builds.
  • The raw flavor contains unpublished builds; these can be used by developers to test against SDK versions before a signed release is available. Note that the main release channel only supports the raw build flavor.

• architecture: The CPU architecture to setup support for.

  • Valid options are x64, ia32, arm, and arm64.
  • Note that not all CPU architectures are supported on all operating systems; see the Dart system requirements for valid combinations.

The action produces the following output:

• dart-version: The version of the Dart SDK that was installed.

You can create matrix jobs that run tests on multiple operating systems, and multiple versions of the Dart SDK.

The following example creates a matrix across two dimensions:

• three major operating systems: Linux, MacOS, and Windows
• several Dart SDK versions: a specific version, the latest stable, beta, and dev
