GitHub Action to Run Common Lisp Programs

This GitHub Action runs Common Lisp programs on GitHub runners where a Common Lisp implementation is already installed.

This action is complemented by other actions related to the Common Lisp eco system:

• setup-common-lisp
• setup-quicklisp
• asdf-operate
• make-lisp-system-documentation-texinfo

Usage

Create a workflow file in the.github/workflows directory of your working copy. This workflow file should use a MacOS runner or a Ubuntu Runner and use the branch v1 of this action.

An example workflow is available below. See the GitHub Help Documentation for Creating a workflow file to get started with GitHub workflows.

Outcomes

Once the action has been executed succesfully, the required Common Lisp program has been executed on the selected Common Lisp system, using the selected Common Lisp implementation.

Inputs

• implementation — The Common Lisp implementation to setup QuickLisp for. This can be one of the values abcl ecl sbcl and in the future we would like to support all of abcl clasp clisp ecl gcl sbcl and maybe other implementations. Please open an issue to express interest for other implementations.

• system: The Common Lisp system where the program resides.

• entrypoint: The program's entrypoint.

Outputs

This action has no outputs.
