* feat: add go-download-base-url input for custom Go distributions
Add support for downloading Go from custom sources such as Microsoft Go
(aka.ms). Users can specify a custom download base URL via the
`go-download-base-url` input or the `GO_DOWNLOAD_BASE_URL` environment
variable (input takes precedence).
When a custom URL is provided, the action skips the GitHub-hosted
manifest and attempts to resolve versions from the custom URL's JSON
listing. If the listing is unavailable (as with aka.ms redirect links),
it falls back to constructing the download URL directly from the
version, platform, and architecture.
Usage:
- uses: actions/setup-go@v6
with:
go-version: '1.25'
go-download-base-url: 'https://aka.ms/golang/release/latest'
Changes:
- action.yml: add go-download-base-url optional input
- installer.ts: add getInfoFromDirectDownload() for URL construction
fallback, thread custom URL through getGo/getInfoFromDist/findMatch
- main.ts: read new input and GO_DOWNLOAD_BASE_URL env var
- setup-go.test.ts: add 12 unit tests for custom URL behavior
- microsoft-validation.yml: add E2E workflow testing Microsoft build of Go
across ubuntu/windows/macos with versions 1.24 and 1.25
- README.md: document new input with Microsoft build of Go examples
* run prettier
* fixup PR review
* revert cache-save
* fixup
* handle distinct cache
* skip json for known URL
* fix bug in JSON with custom URL
* Update module cache to use go.mod as key
* Fix typo
* Revise breaking changes in README for V6
Updated breaking changes section with enhanced formatting and clarified toolchain management details.
It looks like the Node.js version specified in action.yml was left behind
when we upgraded the project to Node.js 24. This commit updates action.yml
to reflect the correct Node.js version.
* Add go-version to action outputs
This provides the semver version of Go that has been installed. This is useful
if only a major or minor version has been provided as the input go-version
value.
* Convert version extraction to a function
Simplify how the version is extracted and add a simple test at the same
time.
