Multi-arch support?

[samip5]

It seems that the action doesn't currently support arm64 Ubuntu 22.04?

Your run says: Runner name: 'buildjet.com_e9ab0ae3-c58c-4c7e-8dd9-ae07d5b11b57'.
We don't have to access to this runner, just the standard github free runners, AFAIK.
So we can't test it in our CI, can we?

You can, they have a trial (doesn't cost anything) which requires going to buildjet.com and logging in as well as adding it to the right repo/org.

I read there: https://buildjet.com/for-github-actions/docs/about/pricing

Every account gets a one-time $5 credit to try our services without any upfront commitment

That does not sound like a commitment to "forever free for OSS".

That's correct but the only way other than qemu, self-hosted arm64 runners or Circle CI (which apparently has native arm64 as well nowadays)

[andreasabel]

Let me suggest a way forward towards supporting ARM.
Could you fix the ARM support in your fork of the setup action and then come back here with a recipe how to fix it or a PR?
Maybe it is just a smaller thing that does not work now, and we can fix it plausibly without continuously testing it on CI.

[samip5]

I think currently it fails due to the PPA repo being used as failback, doesn't have support for Ubuntu 22.04 I believe.

I believe it should try to use the APT repo in very rare cases, right?

As this suggest it's part of the problem:

Err:8 https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/hvr/ghc/ubuntu jammy Release
    404  Not Found [IP: 185.125.190.52 443]

[andreasabel]

Right, the apt install method should only be a fall back for ubuntu-20.04, not any other platforms.

Last time I looked, the actions API did not allow me to ask for the runner name (like ubuntu-20.04, windows-2022), only for the OS (Linux, Windows...). But this was when I wrote an action in YAML. But from typescript there should be a way to get more info about the OS version.

@samip5 Does the following PR (released as 2.6.0) fix things for you?

• Install the correct ghcup binary on aarch64 #47

2023-12-29T13:23:34.9590923Z GHC is split into 4 packages,
2023-12-29T13:23:34.9591400Z 
2023-12-29T13:23:34.9592714Z  ghc-$VER           (core package, contains ghc and executables such as haddock)
2023-12-29T13:23:34.9594218Z  ghc-$VER-dyn       (contains dynamic libraries for version prior to GHC 7.8)
2023-12-29T13:23:34.9595236Z  ghc-$VER-prof      (contains profiling libs)
2023-12-29T13:23:34.9596088Z  ghc-$VER-htmldocs  (contains generated HTML Haddock output)
2023-12-29T13:23:34.9596632Z 
2023-12-29T13:23:34.9598087Z The GHC packages install into `/opt/ghc/$VER/` so in order to use them, one way is to bring a particular GHC version into scope by placing the respective `/opt/ghc/$VER/bin` folder early in the PATH environment variable.
2023-12-29T13:23:34.9599705Z 
2023-12-29T13:23:34.9601742Z There's also a `/opt/ghc/bin` (& `/opt/cabal/bin`) folder which contains version-suffixed symlinks to installed GHC versions for convenient use with cabal (e.g. "cabal new-build -w ghc-7.8.4"), as well as symlinks managed by update-alternatives(1) which can be configured via
2023-12-29T13:23:34.9603750Z 
2023-12-29T13:23:34.9604051Z   sudo update-alternatives --config opt-ghc
2023-12-29T13:23:34.9604918Z   sudo update-alternatives --config opt-cabal
2023-12-29T13:23:34.9605361Z 
2023-12-29T13:23:34.9606529Z Note that `/opt/ghc/bin` also contains a default symlink for `cabal`, so it's enough to include `/opt/ghc/bin` in your PATH to get access to both `cabal` and `ghc`.

I think the issue is that the runner is trying to run ghcup with dash, not bash (based on https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/45781/shell-script-fails-syntax-error-unexpected):

2023-12-29T13:23:12.0835002Z /opt/hostedtoolcache/ghcup/0.1.19.5/arm64/ghcup: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

I'm not sure why this should be the case. Using

defaults:
  run:
    shell: bash

at the top level of my workflow did not change anything. I can run this by the BuildJet support as well. I'll report here if I get anything back.

But I don't think we should be falling back to the PPA at all here; ghcup should work.

Not sure why you then pasted the whole debug log for the PPA step...

Anyhow, could you link to the original CI run where it failed?

I pasted the whole Run haskell-actions/setup@v2 debug log. Sorry if that was confusing.

Anyhow, could you link to the original CI run where it failed?

The repo was private originally, but I've made it public: https://github.com/typeverity/cis/actions/runs/7357027683/job/20027991094

[andreasabel]

@wolverian , thanks for the link to the workflow!

https://github.com/typeverity/cis/actions/runs/7357027683/workflow#L24

runs-on: buildjet-8vcpu-ubuntu-2204-arm

I am afraid we do not test this VM, as it is not free.

/opt/hostedtoolcache/ghcup/0.1.19.5/arm64/ghcup unset ghc
/opt/hostedtoolcache/ghcup/0.1.19.5/arm64/ghcup: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

To find out whether this is a a problem of the setup action or a bare ghcup issue, could you prepare a workflow running on buildjet-8vcpu-ubuntu-2204-arm that tries to communicate the respective commands to ghcup directly, rather than going via this action?

[wolverian]

Looks like https://github.com/haskell-actions/setup/releases/tag/v2.6.1 fixed this issue, probably due to the ghcup bump. Thank you!

[andreasabel]

Excellent news!
