ci: upgrade outdated actions and cache deps in PR Checks (master) by leaanthony · Pull Request #5150 · wailsapp/wails

leaanthony · 2026-04-14T12:30:14Z

Summary

Companion to #5149 (which targets v3-alpha). That PR covers build-and-test-v3.yml and the copy of pr-master.yml on v3-alpha. This PR applies the remaining improvements to pr-master.yml on master, where the file actually runs (GitHub Actions uses the workflow from the base branch of a PR).

1 file changed, 12 insertions, 5 deletions.

Changes

Change	Detail	Est. Saving
`actions/checkout@v3` → `@v4`	Both `check_docs` and `test_go` jobs	Minor — latest checkout speed improvements
`actions/setup-go@v3` → `@v5` with `cache-dependency-path: v2/go.sum`	Go module + build cache now active (was completely missing)	~1–2 min per Linux/macOS/Windows job
Raw `apt-get update && apt-get install` → `awalsh128/cache-apt-pkgs-action`	ubuntu-22.04 and ubuntu-24.04	~30s per Linux job on cache hit

Notes

The test_go condition (runs on all pull_request events, not just approvals) was already correct on master — not changed here
All YAML validated before push
Packages installed are identical to what was there before, just now cached

Summary by CodeRabbit

Chores
- Updated CI/CD infrastructure to use latest action versions and improved build dependency caching for better reliability and performance.

- Upgrade actions/checkout v3 → v4 in both check_docs and test_go - Upgrade actions/setup-go v3 → v5 with cache-dependency-path: v2/go.sum (enables Go module and build cache, was missing previously) - Replace bare apt-get update/install with awalsh128/cache-apt-pkgs-action for ubuntu-22.04 and ubuntu-24.04 (saves ~30s per Linux job on cache hit, consistent with how v3 workflows handle Linux deps) The test_go condition and trigger types were already correct on master. Companion to #5149 which makes equivalent changes on the v3-alpha branch.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The GitHub Actions workflow file was updated to use newer action versions and improved dependency management. Action versions were bumped (actions/checkout v3→v4, actions/setup-go v3→v5), dependency installation was switched to use a caching mechanism, and Go module caching was enabled via cache-dependency-path.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
GitHub Actions Workflow Updates `.github/workflows/pr-master.yml`	Upgraded action versions (checkout v3→v4, setup-go v3→v5), replaced inline apt-get commands with `awalsh128/cache-apt-pkgs-action@latest` for caching dependencies across both Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 runners, and added Go module caching via `cache-dependency-path: v2/go.sum`.

Poem

🐰 Hop, hop, the workflows now run sleek,
With caches strong and actions updated each week,
v4 and v5 bring speeds anew,
Dependencies cached—CI skips on through!
Fast as a rabbit, we dash and we bound! ✨

Pull request overview

Updates the PR Checks (master) GitHub Actions workflow on master to use newer core actions and enable dependency caching, aiming to reduce CI runtime and improve reliability for PR validation.

Changes:

Upgraded actions/checkout from v3 to v4 in both jobs.
Upgraded actions/setup-go from v3 to v5 and enabled Go caching via cache-dependency-path: v2/go.sum.
Replaced raw apt-get installs with awalsh128/cache-apt-pkgs-action for cached Linux package installation on Ubuntu 22.04/24.04.

      - name: Install linux dependencies (22.04)
+        uses: awalsh128/cache-apt-pkgs-action@latest
        if: matrix.os == 'ubuntu-22.04'
-        run: sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt-get install -y libgtk-3-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev build-essential pkg-config
+        with:
+          packages: libgtk-3-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev build-essential pkg-config
+          version: 1.0


awalsh128/cache-apt-pkgs-action is referenced via the mutable @latest tag. This can introduce supply-chain risk and make CI non-deterministic if the action changes or is re-published. Prefer pinning to an immutable ref (a release tag like @v1 if maintained, or a commit SHA) and bump intentionally when upgrading.

        if: matrix.os == 'ubuntu-24.04'
-        run: sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt-get install -y libgtk-3-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev build-essential pkg-config
+        with:
+          packages: libgtk-3-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev build-essential pkg-config


The Ubuntu 24.04 dependency list here differs from the v2 build-and-test.yml workflow (which also installs libegl1 on 24.04). This drift can lead to PR checks passing while the main build workflow fails (or vice versa). Consider aligning the package list between the workflows, or add a short note explaining why pr-master.yml intentionally installs a different set.
