Supports both Linux and Windows environments.

Features

• Handles extraction and setup for both Linux (tar.gz) and Windows (zip)
• Adds Flyway to the system PATH
• Validates the installation by running flyway --version or flyway -v

  uses: sanderstad/[email protected]
  with:
    version: 'latest' # or specify a version, e.g. '11.8.2'

Inputs

Name	Description	Required	Default
version	Flyway CLI version to install	false	latest

Example Workflow

jobs:
  flyway-setup:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Install Flyway CLI
        uses: sanderstad/[email protected]
        with:
          version: 'latest'

How it works

1. Detects OS and sets the correct download filename.
2. Downloads the Flyway CLI archive from the official source.
3. Extracts the archive to a local directory.
4. Adds Flyway to PATH so it can be used in subsequent workflow steps.
5. Validates the installation by running the version command.

Notes

• No custom Flyway parameters are set; only the CLI is installed and validated.
• If you encounter errors about unknown Flyway parameters, ensure you are not passing custom environment variables as Flyway CLI arguments.
