v2.6.0

Compare Source

What's Changed

Fixes repeated runs on self-hosted runners, and any other runner whose disk survives between jobs, where the action previously failed on every run after the first.

• docs(readme): clarify caching layers and set accurate expectations by @​stephenyeargin in #​214
• fix: make repeated runs on the same runner idempotent by @​brendaneamon in #​217
• fix(tokens): merge the job token into any existing access-tokens by @​brendaneamon in #​218

New Contributors

• @​stephenyeargin made their first contribution in #​214

v2.5.3

Compare Source

What's changed

Fixes

• disable-metrics: stop silently overriding workflow-level
  FLOX_DISABLE_METRICS. The input defaulted to "false" and was always
  exported to FLOX_DISABLE_METRICS, overwriting any value a calling workflow
  set via its env: block — silently re-enabling metrics. It now defaults to
  empty and is only exported when explicitly set, so a workflow-level
  FLOX_DISABLE_METRICS: "true" is honored. (#​209, ECO-104)

Dependencies

• Bump the all group across 1 directory with 4 updates

v2.5.1

Compare Source

What's changed

This patch bundles the runner fixes and dependency updates that landed on main alongside the v2.5.0 write-summary feature, so consumers on @v2 receive the complete set.

Fixes

• Detect systemd via /proc/1/comm instead of nix.conf
• chown /nix to the runner user in single-user mode

CI and dependencies

• Add an ubuntu-slim runner to the test matrix and verify flox runs; run flox init in a tmpdir; keep test-act on ubuntu-latest
• Routine dependency updates (4 packages)

v2.5.0

Compare Source

What's changed

The Flox installation summary is now opt-in. The action previously wrote a "Flox Installation" table to the GitHub Actions job summary ($GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY) after every install. That table is noise in workflows that use the job summary for their own output, such as Terraform or Terragrunt plan results, so it is now off by default.

A new write-summary input controls it:

- uses: flox/install-flox-action@v2
  with:
    write-summary: true   # restore the installation summary

⚠️ Behavior change

If you relied on the installation summary appearing automatically, set write-summary: true to restore it. No inputs were removed and no outputs changed; nothing else in your workflow is affected.

This release also rolls up routine dependency updates merged since v2.4.1.

v2.4.1

Compare Source

Marketplace metadata refresh

Update the action's GitHub Marketplace metadata for publication:

• Capitalize the Flox brand in name, description, and author (the lowercase flox is reserved for CLI invocation).
• Rewrite the description in imperative voice with brand-consistent capitalization and no trailing period, per Marketplace description conventions.
• Update the author: email from the outdated floxdev.com domain to flox.dev.

Also includes README hygiene: brand capitalization throughout, code samples pinned to the major-version tag (@v2), and indented step items in the example workflow.

This is a metadata-only release. The action's runtime behavior, inputs, and outputs are unchanged. Existing workflows using flox/install-flox-action@vN continue to work without modification.
