# Overview of `foundry-toolchain`

`foundry-toolchain` can be used to install Foundry for GitHub Actions build processes.

### Example workflow

```
on: [push]
name: test
jobs:
check:
name: Foundry project
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
with:
submodules: recursive
- name: Install Foundry
uses: foundry-rs/foundry-toolchain@v1
- name: Run tests
run: forge test -vvv
- name: Run snapshot
run: forge snapshot
```

### Inputs

| Name | Required | Default | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cache | No | true | Whether to cache RPC responses or not. | bool |
| version | No | nightly | Version to install, e.g. nightly or 1.8.8. Note: Foundry only has nightly builds for the time being. | string |
| cache-key | No | `${{ github.job }}` | The cache key to use for caching. | string |
| cache-restore-keys | No | `[${{ github.job }}]` | The cache keys to use for restoring the cache. | string[] |

### RPC Caching

By default, this action matches Forge's behavior and caches all RPC responses in the `~/.foundry/cache/rpc` directory. This is done to speed up the tests and avoid hitting the rate limit of your RPC provider.

The logic of the caching is as follows:

- Always load the latest valid cache, and always create a new one with the updated cache.
- When there are no changes to the fork tests, the cache does not change but the key does, since the key is based on the commit hash.
- When the fork tests are changed, both the cache and the key are updated.

If you would like to disable the caching (e.g. because you want to implement your own caching mechanism), you can set the `cache` input to `false`, like this:

```
- name: Install Foundry
uses: foundry-rs/foundry-toolchain@v1
with:
cache: false
```

### Custom Cache Keys

You have the ability to define custom cache keys by utilizing the `cache-key` and `cache-restore-keys` inputs. This feature is particularly beneficial when you aim to tailor the cache-sharing strategy across multiple jobs. It is important to ensure that the cache-key is unique for each execution to prevent conflicts and guarantee successful cache saving.

For instance, if you wish to utilize a shared cache between two distinct jobs, the following configuration can be applied:

```
- name: Install Foundry
uses: foundry-rs/foundry-toolchain@v1
with:
cache-key: custom-seed-test-${{ github.sha }}
cache-restore-keys: |-
custom-seed-test-
custom-seed-
---
- name: Install Foundry
uses: foundry-rs/foundry-toolchain@v1
with:
cache-key: custom-seed-coverage-${{ github.sha }}
cache-restore-keys: |-
custom-seed-coverage-
custom-seed-
```

#### Deleting Caches

You can delete caches via the GitHub Actions user interface. Just go to your repo's "Actions" page:

`https://github.com/<OWNER>/<REPO>/actions/caches`

Then, locate the "Management" section, and click on "Caches". You will see a list of all of your current caches, which you can delete by clicking on the trash icon.

#### Fuzzing

Note that if you are fuzzing in your fork tests, the RPC cache strategy above will not work unless you set a [fuzz seed](https://book.getfoundry.sh/reference/config/testing#seed). You might also want to reduce your number of RPC calls by using [Multicall](https://github.com/mds1/multicall).

### Summaries

You can add the output of Forge and Cast commands to GitHub step summaries. The summaries support GitHub flavored Markdown.

For example, to add the output of `forge snapshot` to a summary, you would change the snapshot step to:

```
- name: Run snapshot
run: NO_COLOR=1 forge snapshot >> $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY
```
