update-flake-lock
This is a GitHub Action that will update your flake.lock file whenever it is run.
NOTE: As of v3, this action will no longer automatically install Nix to the action runner. You MUST set up a Nix with flakes support enabled prior to running this action, or your workflow will not function as expected.
Example
An example GitHub Action workflow using this action would look like the following:
name: update-flake-lock
on:
workflow_dispatch: # allows manual triggering
schedule:
- cron: '0 0 * * 0' # runs weekly on Sunday at 00:00
jobs:
lockfile:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout repository
uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Install Nix
uses: cachix/install-nix-action@v14
with:
install_url: https://nixos-nix-install-tests.cachix.org/serve/vij683ly7sl95nnhb67bdjjfabclr85m/install
install_options: '--tarball-url-prefix https://nixos-nix-install-tests.cachix.org/serve'
extra_nix_config: |
experimental-features = nix-command flakes
access-tokens = github.com=${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
- name: Update flake.lock
uses: DeterminateSystems/update-flake-lock@v3
Running GitHub Actions CI
GitHub Actions will not run workflows when a branch is pushed by or a PR is opened by a GitHub Action. To work around this, try:
git branch -D update_flake_lock_action
git fetch origin
git checkout update_flake_lock_action
git commit --amend --no-edit
git push origin update_flake_lock_action --force
