Action Summary
This GitHub Action automates running Continuous Integration (CI) tests on MidnightBSD. It allows users to easily run their test cases in a virtual environment based on MidnightBSD, addressing the need for CI testing across different operating systems. The action supports various releases and provides a simple interface for passing environment variables and commands to execute within the VM.
What’s Changed
sync: tar
A new way to share the workspace: the tree is streamed in as a ustar archive over the ssh connection the action already opens, and streamed back the same way when the run finishes. Nothing is installed in the guest and no filesystem support is needed on either side, unlike sshfs and nfs. midnightbsd-builder v2.0.7 declares it for every release, and it was verified on this guest before the declaration went in: 300 files plus a 1 MB binary blob pushed, a file written inside the VM, the whole tree pulled back and compared by content hash.
rsync remains the default.
Under the hood
The runtime moves to anyvm v0.6.5, ten releases on from the v0.5.5 that v1.0.5 shipped. Two of its fixes reach every job: a failed folder sync is now fatal instead of a warning that left the guest running without the files it was about to use, and the workspace push no longer carries the runner’s own harness directories into the guest.
