# CMake Action
[![Latest Version](https://img.shields.io/github/v/release/threeal/cmake-action)](https://github.com/threeal/cmake-action/releases/)
[![License](https://img.shields.io/github/license/threeal/cmake-action)](./LICENSE)
[![Test Status](https://img.shields.io/github/actions/workflow/status/threeal/cmake-action/test.yml?label=test&branch=main)](https://github.com/threeal/cmake-action/actions/workflows/test.yml)
Configure, build, and test your [CMake](https://cmake.org/) project using [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/features/actions). This action simplifies the workflow for your CMake project. It configures the build environment using the `cmake` command, and optionally builds the project using the `cmake --build` command and tests the project using the `ctest` command.
## Features
- Configures a project using the [`cmake`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake.1.html) command.
- Option to build a project using the `cmake --build` command.
- Option to test a project using the [`ctest`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/ctest.1.html) command.
- Auto-detects and installs required dependencies.
- Supports specifying multiple CMake options directly from the Action inputs.
## Usage
For more information, refer to [action.yml](./action.yml) and the [GitHub Actions guide](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/understanding-github-actions).
### Inputs
| Name | Value Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `source-dir` | Path | The source directory of the CMake project. It defaults to the current directory. |
| `build-dir` | Path | The build directory of the CMake project. It defaults to the `build` directory inside the source directory. |
| `generator` | String | The build system generator for the CMake project. |
| `c-compiler` | String | The preferred executable for compiling C language files. |
| `cxx-compiler` | String | The preferred executable for compiling C++ language files. |
| `c-flags` | Multiple strings | Additional flags to pass when compiling C language files. |
| `cxx-flags` | Multiple strings | Additional flags to pass when compiling C++ language files. |
| `args` | Multiple strings | Additional arguments to pass during the CMake configuration. |
| `run-build` | `true` or `false` | If enabled, it builds the project using [CTest](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/ctest.1.html). It defaults to `false`. |
| `build-args` | Multiple strings | Additional arguments to pass during the CMake build. |
| `run-test` | `true` or `false` | If enabled, it runs testing using [CTest](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/ctest.1.html). It defaults to `false`. |
| `test-args` | Multiple strings | Additional arguments to pass during the CTest run. |
> Note: Multiple strings mean that the input can be specified with more than one value. Separate each value with a space or a new line.

### Examples
```yaml
name: Build
on:
push:
jobs:
build-project:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Check out the repository
uses: actions/checkout@v3.3.0
- name: Configure the project
uses: threeal/cmake-action@latest
```
> Note: You can replace `@latest` with any version you prefer. See [this](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idstepsuses).
#### Specify the Source and Build Directories
```yaml
- name: Configure the project
uses: threeal/cmake-action@latest
with:
source-dir: submodules
build-dir: submodules/out
```
#### Configure, Build, and Test in the Same Step
```yaml
- name: Configure, build, and test the project
uses: threeal/cmake-action@latest
with:
args: -DBUILD_TESTING=ON
run-build: true
run-test: true
```
#### Using Ninja as the Generator and Clang as the Compiler
```yaml
- name: Configure and build this project
uses: threeal/cmake-action@latest
with:
generator: Ninja
c-compiler: clang
cxx-compiler: clang++
```
