setup-dotnet VS setup-python

The most popular ones are Node.js, Python, Java JDK, Go, .Net Core SDK.

Setup Dotnet

The second step will set up .NET on the runner. Here I have specified to install the latest version of 3.1. We are using the GitHub action project setup-dotnet to complete the installation on the runner.

Your question isn't really about whether GitHub Actions support .NET 5, but more about whether the setup-dotnet GitHub Action supports .NET 5 since it is that action that you are using to install the necessary .NET tools to build your project. Here is a link to the setup-dotnet GitHub Action and it's documentation.

This workflow is executed whenever a commit is pushed to the 'main' branch. The single job called 'build_and_deploy' is run on an Ubuntu machine. This machine has some software pre-installed. Today the 'ubuntu-latest' image comes with the .NET 5 SDK pre-configured, but at the time you are reading this, the SDK version could be a newer version. You can use the 'setup-dotnet' GitHub Action to setup a different version of .NET, or to ensure the version of the SDK will be the version specified even when the 'ubuntu-latest' image is updated to use newer versions of .NET.

Run a local host with the static website content with Python setup Github Actions

setup-python

The first two steps are setting up the job's environment. The checkout action will checkout out the repository at the triggering ref. The setup-python action will setup the desired Python runtime. My package supports Python 3.9+ so I'm targeting the minimum version for my build environments.

actions/setup-python@v4 does not support arm64 (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/actions/python-versions/main/versions-manifest.json). See related Open issue https://github.com/actions/setup-python/issues/108.

To build your environment in GH Actions you'll need to add a block to your yaml file BEFORE the Azure Build and Deploy section. You'll need to include the setup-python action and specify the python version you would like to use. Use the major version of your python version so 3.10 and NOT 3.10.5. For more information and options on this you can check out the Setup-Python GH actions repo.

Next up we'll need to add a step to compile our production ready build. For this we can add two new steps, one which configures our Node version to ensure it matches our application, followed by another that runs the necessary commands with npm. Depending on how your application is built you may need to add another step between these to install any sort of required environments such as Python or Java.

Python 3.9 is setup using actions/[email protected] and the pip packages are cached

It requires that the checkout and setup-python actions be used first.

First, we have to checkout the repository in GitHub Actions using GitHub's own checkout action. Then, we have to set up the Python version using GitHub's setup-python action. Finally, we can use Black's provided GitHub Action for checking formatting - it runs black --check --diff on the workflow runner's clone of the repo and outputs an error code if any Python file in the repo fails Black's formatting rules. Note that Black fails if the AST cannot be parsed (i.e. if there are any syntax errors), so it can also be used for checking syntax correctness, which itself is a good proxy for checking for merge conflict strings.
