setup-manifest

This action sets up a project based on a Posit Connect manifest.json file.

Usage

name: setup.yaml
on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  setup:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: r-lib/actions/setup-manifest@feature/setup-manifest

How it works

This action only works on Linux.

It uses a Docker container to install and run renv to convert the manifest.json file to an renv.lock file.

Then it uses r-lib/actions/setup-r to install the required version of R.

Finally, it uses r-lib/actions/setup-renv to install required version of the dependent packages.

Known issues

This action does not install system dependencies currently. If your project needs Linux system packages, you'll need to install them before calling this action.
