Action Inputs

version

  version:
    required: false
    description: "Version of jq to install"
    default: "1.7"

This must be a version with a corresponding release.

force

  force:
    required: false
    description: "If 'true', does not check for existing jq installation before continuing."
    default: 'false'

GitHub's own hosted runners come with a version of jq pre-installed.

Setting this to true will install the version you specify into the tool cache, superseding the preinstalled version. Setting this to true can also help ensure the same version is used across both self-hosted and remote runners.

Action Outputs

    description: "If 'true', jq was already found on this runner"
