Support reading the version from from runtime.txt
Description:
https://github.com/actions/setup-python/pull/336 added support for .python-version, which is used by pyenv.
- uses: actions/setup-python@v4
with:
python-version-file: runtime.txt # ❌ fail 👇
Resolved runtime.txt as python-3.10.7
Version python-3.10.7
was not found in the local cache
Error: Version python-3.10.7
with arch x64 not found
The list of all available versions can be found here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/actions/python-versions/main/versions-manifest.json
Justification:
Runtime.txt is used by Heroku and more tools and it's not a raw version file like .python-version, it looks more like:
python-3.10.7
Dependabot also seems to explicitly support runtime.txt
More details: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/python-runtimes
My current solution involves manually parsing the file with an extra step:
- name: Parse Python version
run: sed s/python-// runtime.txt | head > .python-version
- uses: actions/setup-python@v4
with:
cache: pip
