[Core feature request] Model matrix context #368
Description
What feature do you need?
https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/contexts#matrix-context
Also look at related feature requests: #287 and #297.
Do you have an example usage?
name: Test "${{ matrix.distribution.label }}" distribution on ${{ matrix.environment }}runs-on: ${{ matrix.environment }}with:
distribution: ${{ matrix.distribution.user-id }}Is there a workaround for not having this feature? If yes, please describe it.
name = """Test "${expr("matrix.distribution.label")}" distribution on ${expr("matrix.environment")}"""runsOn = Custom(expr("matrix.environment"))distribution = Distribution.Custom(expr("matrix.distribution.user-id"))

I've started designing this but I have an outage that prevents me to go further for now

@jmfayard do you plan to work on this? I'm asking because you're still assigned here.

You closed his PR and deleted his branch in January, saying you are drafting it yourself, so, ... :-D
krzema12 commentedon Mar 23, 2023
Ok, so I'm deprioritizing it for v1, to be able to release a "good enough" stable version faster.

When adressing this, please also consider being able to configure non-string matrix values.
A
2.5float matrix value is different from a'2.5'string matrix value.And more importantly, a
3.0float matrix value is different from a'3.0'string matrix value.If you give the latter to somewhere else using
${{ matrix.variant }}, you get3.0given, if you give the former, you get3given as it is parsed and used as number.tangdev-w3 commentedon Nov 7, 2023
just curious if there have been any updates regarding the priority of this?
krzema12 commentedon Nov 7, 2023
@tangdev-w3 it's on hold until client-side binding generation (reducing operational effort of maintaining this library) is done.
It's also pretty tricky to implement elegantly and type-safely, which is another reason I just haven't done it yet. Open for suggestions, PoCs and any other contributions.

@tangdev-w3 could you share your exact use case? It will be helpful when deciding on the scope of support to be added.
