hlint-setup

GitHub Action: Set up hlint.

Downloads a binary of HLint from @ndmitchell/hlint, caches it through @actions/tool-cache, and adds it into PATH.

See also haskell-actions/hlint-run, which will run hlint and represent its output in GitHub annotations.

Inputs

• version: The HLint version to download. Currently defaults to 3.5.

  Note that on some virtual environments, some versions of hlint need extra prerequisites installed. E.g., on ubuntu-22.04, versions hlint < 3.5 need the libncurses5 library (#128).

Outputs

• hlint-dir: Resulting directory containing the hlint executable.
• hlint-bin: Location of the hlint executable.
• version: Version of the hlint tool (same as input, if provided).
