Can scm (dev) dependencies be installed before running tests?

[mikavilpas]

Hi! I'm using this action in my project, and am working on a new feature - I'm adding more robust LSP integration (https://github.com/mikavilpas/yazi.nvim/pull/190). To do this, I need to add a dependency to this rock: https://luarocks.org/modules/neorocks/nvim-lsp-file-operations

Looks like that rock specifies an scm version - I take this to mean "source control management" aka the latest, bleeding edge version. Installing this seems to result in

Run luarocks test --local Missing dependencies for yazi.nvim scm-1: nvim-lsp-file-operations >= scm (not installed)

yazi.nvim scm-1 depends on lua >= 5.1 (5.1-1 provided by VM: success) yazi.nvim scm-1 depends on plenary.nvim (scm-1 installed: success) yazi.nvim scm-1 depends on nvim-lsp-file-operations >= scm (not installed)

Error: Could not satisfy dependency nvim-lsp-file-operations >= scm: No results matching query were found for Lua 5.1. Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

I'm not too familiar with luarocks, so any help would be appreciated.

Hey :wave:

I'd have to add support for something like a extra_luarocks_args input to this action (which I likely won't have time for until after Thursday). You should be able to run tests locally by adding the --dev flag to luarocks test.

Another thing you can do, of course (which I would recommend) is to ask the author of the dependency to publish SemVer tags/releases.
