Rust All Action

Simple GitHub Action to run multiple Rust workflows.
Including: test, clippy, fmt, doc, shear, deny.

Designed as a baseline CI for Rust projects.

By default:

• Caches installed tools between runs
• Caches installed toolchains
• Supports workflow-specific toolchain and argument overrides

To cache compilation between runs, use sccache

---

Usage

To run all default workflows just add:

jobs:
  rust-all:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: aderinom/rust-all-action@v1

For best experience, sccache and binstall are recommended.

jobs:
  rust-all:
    env:
      SCCACHE_GHA_ENABLED: 'true'
      RUSTC_WRAPPER: 'sccache'
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      # Prepare binstall for quick binary downloads in case no cache exists
      - name: Install cargo-binstall
        uses: cargo-bins/[email protected]
      # Start sccache for compilation caching
      - name: Run sccache-cache
        uses: mozilla-actions/[email protected]
      # Run the rust workflow
      - uses: aderinom/rust-all-action@v1

If you prefer running seperate jobs, use following config:

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: aderinom/rust-all-action@v1
        with:
          run: 'test'

  clippy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: aderinom/rust-all-action@v1
        with:
          run: 'clippy'

  fmt:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: aderinom/rust-all-action@v1
        with:
          run: 'fmt'

  doc:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: aderinom/rust-all-action@v1
        with:
          run: 'doc'

  shear:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: aderinom/rust-all-action@v1
        with:
          run: 'shear'

Contributing

Contributions are welcome. If you’d like to add another workflow or adjust existing behavior, fork the repository and open a pull request.

Setup

pnpm i

This installs all dependencies and development tooling.

Testing

The repository includes a minimal Rust cargo project used for integration tests. Tests are executed against this local project to validate configuration parsing and workflow behavior.

Run tests with:

pnpm test

All tests use the native Node.js test runner (node:test) and strict assertions from node:assert/strict.
