This action sets up a Haskell environment for use in actions by:
- optionally installing a version of ghc and cabal and adding to PATH.
- optionally installing a version of Stack and adding to PATH.
- setting the outputs of
ghc-path,cabal-path,stack-path, andcabal-storewhen necessary.
The GitHub runners come with pre-installed versions of GHC and Cabal. Those will be used whenever possible.
For all other versions, this action utilizes ppa:hvr/ghc, ghcup, and chocolatey.

- run: runhaskell Hello.hs| Name | Required | Description | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|---|---|
ghc-version |
GHC version to use, ex. latest |
string | latest | |
cabal-version |
Cabal version to use, ex. 3.2 |
string | latest | |
stack-version |
Stack version to use, ex. latest. Stack will only be installed if enable-stack is set. |
string | latest | |
enable-stack |
If specified, will setup Stack. | "boolean" | false | |
stack-no-global |
If specified, enable-stack must be set. Prevents installing GHC and Cabal globally | "boolean" | false | |
stack-setup-ghc |
If specified, enable-stack must be set. Runs stack setup to install the specified GHC. (Note: setting this does not imply stack-no-global) |
"boolean" | false |
| Name | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|
ghc-path |
The path of the ghc executable directory | string |

GHC:
latest(default, recommended)8.10.18.108.8.38.88.8.28.8.18.6.58.68.6.48.6.38.6.28.6.18.4.48.48.4.38.4.28.4.18.2.28.28.0.28.07.10.37.10
Suggestion: Try to support the three latest major versions of GHC.
Cabal:
latest(default, recommended)3.2.0.03.23.0.0.03.02.4.1.02.42.4.0.02.2.0.02.2
Recommendation: Use the latest available version if possible.
Stack:
latest(recommended) -- follows the latest release automatically.2.3.12.32.1.32.12.1.11.9.3.11.91.9.1.11.7.11.71.6.51.61.6.3.11.6.1.11.5.11.51.5.01.4.01.41.3.21.31.3.01.2.01.2
Recommendation: Use the latest available version if possible.
The full list of available versions of GHC, Cabal, and Stack are as follows:
Note: There are technically some descrepencies here. For example, "8.10.1-alpha1" will work for a ghc version for windows but not for Linux and macOS. For your sanity, I suggest sticking with the version lists above which are supported across all three operating systems.
