By default an exact version read from go-version-file is used as
written, so a "go 1.22.0" directive pins CI to the oldest patch
release of the minor even when newer patches with security fixes
exist. Dependencies can force such an exact version into go.mod.
Setting go-version-file-behavior to latest-patch widens an exact
major.minor.patch version into a ~X.Y.Z range, resolving the newest
available patch release of the same minor while keeping the file's
version as a floor. Bare minors and prereleases pass through
unchanged. The default behavior (exact) is unchanged.
* feat: add go-download-base-url input for custom Go distributions
Add support for downloading Go from custom sources such as Microsoft Go
(aka.ms). Users can specify a custom download base URL via the
`go-download-base-url` input or the `GO_DOWNLOAD_BASE_URL` environment
variable (input takes precedence).
When a custom URL is provided, the action skips the GitHub-hosted
manifest and attempts to resolve versions from the custom URL's JSON
listing. If the listing is unavailable (as with aka.ms redirect links),
it falls back to constructing the download URL directly from the
version, platform, and architecture.
Usage:
- uses: actions/setup-go@v6
with:
go-version: '1.25'
go-download-base-url: 'https://aka.ms/golang/release/latest'
Changes:
- action.yml: add go-download-base-url optional input
- installer.ts: add getInfoFromDirectDownload() for URL construction
fallback, thread custom URL through getGo/getInfoFromDist/findMatch
- main.ts: read new input and GO_DOWNLOAD_BASE_URL env var
- setup-go.test.ts: add 12 unit tests for custom URL behavior
- microsoft-validation.yml: add E2E workflow testing Microsoft build of Go
across ubuntu/windows/macos with versions 1.24 and 1.25
- README.md: document new input with Microsoft build of Go examples
