dub-upgrade

GitHub Actions CI Action to run dub upgrade --missing-only --sub-packages with automatic retry on network failure and caching package downloads and optionally also compiled library binaries across builds using dub's native caching functionality.

v0.2 -> v0.3 Changes

The action no longer runs dub upgrade to fetch the latest version from DUB without any args passed in. It now runs dub upgrade --missing-only --sub-packages which has 2 key differences:

• Only the version specified in dub.selections.json is fetched now (no longer changing the version of the lockfile)
• All sub-packages are also fetched automatically now

This can be configured using args like described below.

Usage

Basic usage (including cache):

steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v5

  - uses: dlang-community/setup-dlang@v2 # install D compiler & DUB
    with:
      compiler: dmd-latest

  - uses: WebFreak001/dub-upgrade@v0.3.0

  - name: Run tests # do whatever with fetched dependencies
    run: dub test

Not using cache, only retrying on network failure:

steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v5

  - uses: dlang-community/setup-dlang@v2 # install D compiler & DUB
    with:
      compiler: dmd-latest

  - uses: WebFreak001/dub-upgrade@v0.3.0
    with:
      cache: false

  - name: Run tests # do whatever with fetched dependencies
    run: dub test

Old behavior, not respecting dub.selections.json:

steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v5

  - uses: dlang-community/setup-dlang@v2 # install D compiler & DUB
    with:
      compiler: dmd-latest

  - uses: WebFreak001/dub-upgrade@v0.3.0
    with:
      args: ''

  - name: Run tests # do whatever with fetched dependencies
    run: dub test
