fix(ci): pin third-party actions to full commit SHAs - #115
Conversation
The account's Actions policy requires a full-length SHA ref. A tag or branch ref is refused at startup — `startup_failure`, no jobs, "this workflow graph cannot be shown" — so these workflows could not run at all. This resolves each ref to the commit it currently points at and records the ref in a trailing comment, e.g. `actions/checkout@<sha> # v4`. `dtolnay/rust-toolchain` takes its toolchain from the ref itself, so those steps also gained an explicit `with: toolchain:` input; without it, a SHA ref would silently lose the channel. No behaviour is intended to change beyond the pins.

Provide one valid Rust toolchain input in every Rust job.
The second with mapping at Line 54 can override or invalidate this mapping. The build-deb and build-rpm steps at Lines 96 and 115 also have no toolchain input. A SHA-pinned dtolnay/rust-toolchain reference otherwise derives its toolchain from the SHA, not from the former v1 action tag. Use one with mapping per step. Set toolchain to the intended Rustup specification, such as stable, and retain targets in that same mapping. (github.com)
Proposed fix
- name: Install Rust toolchain
uses: dtolnay/rust-toolchain@02cb101ec7c40f2c49e1d9714d64511d8e1b74de # v1
with:
- toolchain: v1
- with:
+ toolchain: stable
targets: ${{ matrix.target }}Add with: { toolchain: stable } to the corresponding steps in build-deb and build-rpm.
Based on learnings: SHA-pinned dtolnay/rust-toolchain references require an explicit Rust toolchain.
