### Prefixing the Julia command
In some packages, you may want to prefix the `julia` command with another command, e.g. for running tests of certain graphical libraries with `xvfb-run`.
In that case, you can add an input called `prefix` containing the command that will be inserted to your workflow:
```yaml
- uses: julia-actions/julia-runtest@v1
with:
prefix: xvfb-run
```
If you only want to add this prefix on certain builds, you can [include additional values into a combination](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/reference/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#example-including-additional-values-into-combinations) of your build matrix, e.g.:
```yaml
strategy:
fail-fast: false
matrix:
os: [ubuntu-latest, windows-latest, macOS-latest]
version: ['1.0', '1', 'nightly']
arch: [x64]
include:
- os: ubuntu-latest
prefix: xvfb-run
steps:
# ...
- uses: julia-actions/julia-runtest@v1
with:
prefix: ${{ matrix.prefix }}
# ...
```
This will add the prefix `xvfb-run` to all builds where the `os` is `ubuntu-latest`.
