Inputs

name	description	required	default
rust-project-path	Path to the Rust project	no	.
workspace-path	Path to the workspace root. Defaults to rust-project-path if not specified.	no	""
build-library	Build a library instead of a binary. Requires `crate-type = ["cdylib", "staticlib"]` in Cargo.toml.	no	false
crate-name	Name of the Rust crate/package. Used for cache key and artifact directory. Legacy: also used for artifact naming if artifact-prefix not set (deprecated).	no	""
target	The target platform for the Rust compiler	yes	—
features	Comma-separated list of features to include in the build	no	""
run-tests-and-coverage	Run tests and coverage using the `devops-rust-test-and-coverage` action.	no	false
use-cache	Enable or disable the build cache using Swatinem/rust-cache.	no	true
no-default-features	Do not include default features in the build	no	false
rust-toolchain	The Rust toolchain to use for building. Can be nightly or a specific nightly version (nightly-2025-09-18). Note: stable and beta are not supported due to required nightly features.	no	nightly
use-cross	Use cross-rs for building. If false, use cargo.	no	false
use-pgo	Use Profile-Guided Optimization [PGO] to build the artifact.	no	false
pgo-project-path	Path to the Rust project used for gathering PGO data. Can be same or separate project.	no	.
pgo-benchmark-name	Benchmark name to use with PGO.	no	my_benchmark
abort-on-panic	Abort immediately on panic. If false, the default panic handler is used.	no	true
size-optimized-std	Enable size optimization for std by adding `optimize_for_size` to build-std-features.	no	false
upload-artifacts	Upload the built artifacts as a GitHub Actions artifact	no	true
upload-symbols-separately	Upload debug symbol files (.pdb, .dwp, .dSYM) as separate artifacts instead of bundling with main artifacts	no	true
use-friendly-target-names	Transform target triples to user-friendly names (e.g., x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu -> linux-x64) in artifact names	no	true
artifact-prefix	Prefix for artifact names. Combined with target/features to form final artifact name (e.g., 'MyApp' -> 'MyApp-linux-x64'). If empty, no prefix is used.	no	""
artifact-name-exclude-features	Comma-separated list of features to exclude from artifact names. Set to empty string to include all.	no	c-exports,bench,nightly
additional-rustflags	Additional RUSTFLAGS to pass to the Rust compiler	no	""
additional-rustc-args	Additional arguments to pass directly to rustc	no	""
additional-std-features	Additional build-std features to include (comma-separated).	no	""
upload-coverage-to-codecov	Uploads coverage to codecov if `run-tests-and-coverage` is enabled.	no	true
codecov-token	Codecov token for uploading coverage	no	—
use-tarpaulin	Use tarpaulin for code coverage. If false, code coverage will be disabled.	no	true
use-binstall	Whether to use cargo-binstall in the test-and-coverage action for installing tools like tarpaulin. This parameter is passed through to the devops-rust-test-and-coverage action.	no	true
install-binstall	Whether to install cargo-binstall to make it available for the test-and-coverage action. If false, assumes it is already available in the environment.	no	true
additional-test-args	Additional arguments passed directly to the cargo test command (e.g., '--ignored --test-threads=1 --lib')	no	""
additional-tarpaulin-args	Additional arguments to pass to the cargo tarpaulin command	no	""
packages	Packages to test (multi-line list). Passed through to devops-rust-test-and-coverage. Selects packages for testing; does not influence the build.	no	""
codecov-flags	Flags to pass to Codecov for organizing coverage reports	no	unittests
codecov-name	Custom defined name for the coverage upload	no	codecov-umbrella
