Enables setting pixi global configuration (e.g., run-post-link-scripts = "insecure") directly in the action instead of requiring manual workarounds.

Changes

  • action.yml: New configuration input accepting TOML format
  • src/main.ts: writePixiConfig() function with TOML validation and error handling
    • Validates TOML syntax before write using smol-toml parser
    • Throws error if ~/.pixi/config.toml already exists (prevents overwriting existing configurations)
    • Executes after pixi installation, before authentication
  • src/options.ts: Added configuration field to input/options types
  • test.yml: Cross-platform integration tests (Ubuntu, macOS, Windows)

Usage

- uses: prefix-dev/setup-pixi@v0.9.4
  with:
    configuration: |
      run-post-link-scripts = "insecure"
      change-ps1 = false

Configuration is written to ~/.pixi/config.toml and applies to all subsequent pixi commands.

Note: The action will fail with an error if a config file already exists at ~/.pixi/config.toml. Remove any existing file before using this feature.

Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Allow specifying pixi global configuration</issue_title>
<issue_description>I would like to enable run-post-link-scripts = "insecure" in our CI. It would be easiest if this could be set directly in the action. </issue_description>

Comments on the Issue (you are @copilot in this section)

@pavelzw This would only work if we expose _all_ global configuration endpoints. A workaround for now would be to `cat <Something like this

uses: prefix-dev/setup-pixi@...
with:
  configuration: |
    run-post-link-scripts: "false"
```</body></comment_new>

I will eventually get to implementing it. If you want it quicker, I'm open for PRs as well.</body></comment_new>
