Motivation
The current behaviour for not setting the installed toolchain as default is very unintuitive. When I use action-rs to install a toolchain, I am expecting it to be the toolchain that I will use.
Workflow example
- name: Setup rust
uses: actions-rs/toolchain@v1
with:
toolchain: ${{ matrix.rust }}
default: true # this should be true by default!
Additional context
This has caused me a lot of trouble when I wanted to use a nightly feature, but no matter what I did I could not find the reason. Until I realized that action-rs does not set the installed nightly toolchain as default, and the rustc installed on the GitHub images were being used.
Then this is the moment that I realized that for such a long time, even for the projects that use a stable toolchain, action-rs has been just downloading a toolchain consuming the minutes I paid for in the CI without having any impact on the build.
