Inputs

name	description	required	default
expression-file	The expression file to build. When missing, it will try in order: `[ ./release.nix ./default.nix ]`.	no	—
attributes	Attributes to build from the expression. When missing, it will follow the default Nix semantics around build outputs.	no	—
nix-expression	When provided, `nix-build` will pass the given value to the standard input, and build that instead of `expression-file`.	no	—
nix-build-extra-arguments	When provided, the call to `nix-build` will use these appended extra arguments. > [!WARNING] > Beware of string splitting semantics!	no	—
nix-path	When provided, `NIX_PATH` will be set to this value.	no	—
checkout-repo	Whether the repository will be checked-out automatically with the actions/checkout action. Use `false` to bring your own checkout action alternative.	no	true
space-making-action	Space making action to use. Supports the following: `[ "none" "more-space-action" ]`. Not enabled by default as it adds some time to the action runtime, while not always being necessary.	no	none
installer-action	Installer action to use. Supports the following: `[ "lix-gha-installer-action" "none" ]`. Use `none` to bring your own.	no	lix-gha-installer-action
cache-action	Cache action to use. Supports the following: `[ "none" ]`. Use `none` to disable or bring your own.	no	none
initial-random-delay-max	Setting this option to a numeric value other than zero enables waiting a random amount of time at the start of the action. This is a common repeated pattern used to work around a thundering herd of github actions trampling over the API rate limits when dealing with multiple parallel builds, which may be exacerbated by using a matrix strategy.	no	0
