setup-vsdevenv

==============

[GitHub Action](https://github.com/features/actions) for setting Visual Studio

build environment variables and paths for subsequent steps in the job.

This can be especially useful for building C++ using the MSVC compiler using

build tools like [CMake](https://cmake.org/) which lack the good sense to find

VS themselves.

The action can find any compatible VS installation (via required [VS components](

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/workload-and-component-ids

)), though it will still always run the `vsdevenv` command and update the

environment accordingly.

Inputs

------

- `vswhere`: Path to `vswhere.exe` (default system-installed copy).

- `arch`: Build architecture (default `amd64`).

- `host_arch`: Host architecture override.

- `winsdk`: WinSDK version override.

- `toolset_version`: Build toolset version override.

- `components`: List of required VS components, semi-colon separated.

  (default `Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.Tools.x86.x64`)

Outputs

-------

- `install_path`: Selected VS installation path.
