Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Adds a composite GitHub Action that updates rust-toolchain.toml. The action uses the supplied value input or reads workspace.package.rust-version from Cargo.toml.

Changes

Rust toolchain channel action

Layer / File(s) Summary
Composite action implementation
set-rust-toolchain/action.yml
Defines working-directory and value inputs. Installs toml-cli. Uses the supplied value when present; otherwise reads the workspace MSRV. Writes the result to toolchain.channel.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~15 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 832fe

The new action installs toml-cli at runtime before updating rust-toolchain.toml, so callers on runners without dnf, the package, or installation permissions may fail. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness to document or constrain supported runner environments.

Document the runner requirement for set-rust-toolchain/action.yml.

This composite action runs dnf install -y toml-cli without selecting or validating the runner environment. It can fail when the caller uses a runner without dnf, without the toml-cli package, or without package-installation permissions. Document and enforce the required runner environment, or use a supported installation strategy.

@coderabbitai What sort of supported installation strategy would you like to suggest?

@mulkieran, I recommend one of these two approaches.

  1. Scope the action to Fedora-based runners. This is the smallest change.

    Document that the action requires a Fedora runner with dnf and passwordless root access. Before installation, validate dnf and sudo or root access. Then install toml-cli with dnf.

    This matches the current implementation. It does not make the action portable to GitHub-hosted Ubuntu or macOS runners.

  2. Support multiple runner types with a pinned prebuilt binary. This is the more portable approach.

    Download a specific toml-cli release for the runner OS and architecture. Verify its checksum. Add its directory to PATH. Do not use an unpinned “latest” URL.

I would not use cargo install toml-cli here. cargo can cause rustup to read rust-toolchain.toml before this action updates that file. That defeats the purpose of this action.

Given the action’s stated purpose, option 1 is appropriate if its callers already use Fedora runners. The finding only requires that the action documents and validates this constraint.

@mulkieran I like the action design. It is small and has clear default behavior.

There is one security issue to fix before merge.

set-rust-toolchain/action.yml Line 30 expands inputs.value directly in a Bash command. GitHub Actions evaluates that expression before Bash parses the command. A value with shell syntax can execute an unintended command.

Pass the input through env and quote the shell variable:

    - name: Set rust-toolchain.toml channel to value if value set
      if: ${{ inputs.value != '' }}
      shell: bash
      env:
        VALUE: ${{ inputs.value }}
      run: toml set --toml-path rust-toolchain.toml toolchain.channel "$VALUE"
      working-directory: ${{ inputs.working-directory }}

The MSRV path already quotes "$MSRV" correctly.

@mulkieran This looks good now.

inputs.value is assigned through env and used as "$VALUE". Bash treats the input as one argument to toml set. The shell-injection issue is fixed.

@coderabbitai Can you take another look? I simplified it a lot so that it uses rustup override. And I made it unconditionally set the override version to the MSRV. And I gave up trying to uses "cargo-msrv" because it is Rust and it seems to have troubles on some distros. Instead I only use pip-installed toml-cli to extract the MSRV.

@​mulkieran The simplified action has a clear flow. The PATH handling works. rustup override set "$MSRV" also safely passes the MSRV as one argument.

I found one portability issue.

set-rust-toolchain/action.yml Line 15 installs an unpinned toml-cli. The current PyPI release, toml-cli v0.8.2, requires Python 3.10 or later. The action will fail on supported runner distributions that provide an older system Python, before it reads Cargo.toml. Future unpinned releases can also change the Python requirement or CLI behavior.

Pin a tested package version. Document its Python requirement in the action description. If older Python versions must work, select a tested toml-cli version that supports them.

    - name: Install toml-cli
      shell: bash
      run: python3 -m pip install --user 'toml-cli==<tested-version>'

Using python3 -m pip also installs the package with the same Python interpreter used to compute USER_BASE.

@​mulkieran The action is simpler. Pinning toml-cli==0.7.0 and using rustup override set "$MSRV" are good changes.

One portability issue remains.

set-rust-toolchain/action.yml Line 20 does not add the pipx executable directory to PATH. It adds the Python user-base directory instead. These directories are different on macOS. pipx installs application entry points in PIPX_BIN_DIR, which defaults to ~/.local/bin. As a result, Line 21 can fail with toml: command not found after Line 15 succeeds.

Use pipx to get its effective executable directory:

        PIPX_BIN_DIR=$(pipx environment --value PIPX_BIN_DIR)
        PATH="$PIPX_BIN_DIR:$PATH"

This also supports a runner or caller that sets PIPX_BIN_DIR. The pipx documentation defines PIPX_BIN_DIR and documents pipx environment --value PIPX_BIN_DIR for this purpose. Reference

This composite action works by setting the directory-specific rustup
override.
