| 1 | +# Overview of `foundry-toolchain` |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +`foundry-toolchain` can be used to install Foundry for GitHub Actions build processes. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +### Example workflow |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +``` |
| 8 | +on: [push] |
| 9 | +
|
| 10 | +name: test |
| 11 | +
|
| 12 | +jobs: |
| 13 | + check: |
| 14 | + name: Foundry project |
| 15 | + runs-on: ubuntu-latest |
| 16 | + steps: |
| 17 | + - uses: actions/checkout@v3 |
| 18 | + with: |
| 19 | + submodules: recursive |
| 20 | +
|
| 21 | + - name: Install Foundry |
| 22 | + uses: foundry-rs/foundry-toolchain@v1 |
| 23 | +
|
| 24 | + - name: Run tests |
| 25 | + run: forge test -vvv |
| 26 | +
|
| 27 | + - name: Run snapshot |
| 28 | + run: forge snapshot |
| 29 | +``` |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +### Inputs |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +| Name | Required | Default | Description | Type | |
| 34 | +|---|---|---|---|---| |
| 35 | +| cache | No | true | Whether to cache RPC responses or not. | bool | |
| 36 | +| version | No | nightly | Version to install, e.g. nightly or 1.8.8. Note: Foundry only has nightly builds for the time being. | string | |
| 37 | +| cache-key | No | `${{ github.job }}` | The cache key to use for caching. | string | |
| 38 | +| cache-restore-keys | No | `[${{ github.job }}]` | The cache keys to use for restoring the cache. | string[] | |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +### RPC Caching |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +By default, this action matches Forge's behavior and caches all RPC responses in the `~/.foundry/cache/rpc` directory. This is done to speed up the tests and avoid hitting the rate limit of your RPC provider. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +The logic of the caching is as follows: |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +- Always load the latest valid cache, and always create a new one with the updated cache. |
| 47 | +- When there are no changes to the fork tests, the cache does not change but the key does, since the key is based on the commit hash. |
| 48 | +- When the fork tests are changed, both the cache and the key are updated. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +If you would like to disable the caching (e.g. because you want to implement your own caching mechanism), you can set the `cache` input to `false`, like this: |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +``` |
| 53 | +- name: Install Foundry |
| 54 | + uses: foundry-rs/foundry-toolchain@v1 |
| 55 | + with: |
| 56 | + cache: false |
| 57 | +``` |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +### Custom Cache Keys |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +You have the ability to define custom cache keys by utilizing the `cache-key` and `cache-restore-keys` inputs. This feature is particularly beneficial when you aim to tailor the cache-sharing strategy across multiple jobs. It is important to ensure that the cache-key is unique for each execution to prevent conflicts and guarantee successful cache saving. |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +For instance, if you wish to utilize a shared cache between two distinct jobs, the following configuration can be applied: |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +``` |
| 66 | +- name: Install Foundry |
| 67 | + uses: foundry-rs/foundry-toolchain@v1 |
| 68 | + with: |
| 69 | + cache-key: custom-seed-test-${{ github.sha }} |
| 70 | + cache-restore-keys: |- |
| 71 | + custom-seed-test- |
| 72 | + custom-seed- |
| 73 | +--- |
| 74 | +- name: Install Foundry |
| 75 | + uses: foundry-rs/foundry-toolchain@v1 |
| 76 | + with: |
| 77 | + cache-key: custom-seed-coverage-${{ github.sha }} |
| 78 | + cache-restore-keys: |- |
| 79 | + custom-seed-coverage- |
| 80 | + custom-seed- |
| 81 | +``` |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +#### Deleting Caches |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +You can delete caches via the GitHub Actions user interface. Just go to your repo's "Actions" page: |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +`https://github.com/<OWNER>/<REPO>/actions/caches` |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +Then, locate the "Management" section, and click on "Caches". You will see a list of all of your current caches, which you can delete by clicking on the trash icon. |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +#### Fuzzing |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +Note that if you are fuzzing in your fork tests, the RPC cache strategy above will not work unless you set a [fuzz seed](https://book.getfoundry.sh/reference/config/testing#seed). You might also want to reduce your number of RPC calls by using [Multicall](https://github.com/mds1/multicall). |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +### Summaries |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +You can add the output of Forge and Cast commands to GitHub step summaries. The summaries support GitHub flavored Markdown. |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +For example, to add the output of `forge snapshot` to a summary, you would change the snapshot step to: |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +``` |
| 102 | +- name: Run snapshot |
| 103 | + run: NO_COLOR=1 forge snapshot >> $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY |
| 104 | +``` |
