Is it regression?

Expected behavior

For Windows, Linux, and Mac (up to 13) runners there is a default vcpkg installation shipped in the images. The MacOS 14 image seems not to have it.

Actual behavior

All default images are expected to have a similar toolset installed by default.

Repro steps

Run vcpkg command on different versions of MacOS images. See https://github.com/ARM-software/cmsis-actions/actions/runs/8986533074 vs https://github.com/ARM-software/cmsis-actions/actions/runs/8999157484/job/24720758818

Hey @JonatanAntoni, we will consider adding the tool

[mikhailkoliada]

We would not like to pre-install vcpkg here due to low demand and maintenance concerns. Please install in runtime as it is easy to do.

[JonatanAntoni]

@mikhailkoliada, thanks for the reply. The "problem" here is the inconsistency across different versions and variants of runner images. In most of the OSes and versions its already installed but only in MacOS 14 it is not.

low demand is not true, I was also looking for it

but most people will not tell you if they have to work around and the argument of inconsistency is very value, so please, @mikhailkoliada , reconsider your decision and re-open this feature

Throwing another voice on the pile here-it also doesn't make sense to have it on the macOS intel runners but not the arm ones.

@mikhailkoliada Run into this when updating the macOS image. Very annoying. Now I need to handle macOS-14 differently. Are you planning to remove it from the other images too? Should I just clone it my self everywhere? The list of software included should state that the omission is intentional, since it is installed on all the other ones.
