Test run: https://github.com/nextstrain/conda-base/actions/runs/6202996684 However, this as-is right now tests only that there exists some package version that's initially installable. It doesn't guarantee that package version is the latest. We could do that two ways:
I think (2) makes the most sense. In the meantime, testing that any version is installable is still useful, and when we update Nextstrain CLI for (2) this workflow will start always testing the latest version. |

This our intent and expectation, and it's good to be explicit about it.
It may surface more installation issues, such as the one we observed in
monkeypox CI¹ with the latest version not being installable, but
obscuring those or surfacing them later on is _probably_ worse than
addressing them head on earlier. This change will mean that any macOS
10.14 users, if any, would have to use
NEXTSTRAIN_CONDA_BASE_PACKAGE="nextstrain-base ==20230615T171309Z"
since newer versions aren't installable for them.²
This behaviour also parallels update's behaviour since "runner.conda:
Explicitly specify a nextstrain-base version when updating" (d6e4f2b).
It was an oversight (on my part) to not use the same behaviour during
setup, but at the time I was focused on fixing an update bug.

Commit message can be updated now that nextstrain/cli#312 is merged.
…to catch issues like the one in monkeypox CI¹ earlier. Since successful installation relies on external resources out of our control, we want to regularly test it to ensure we know when an external change breaks it. Resolves <#41>. ¹ e.g. <nextstrain/mpox#177>

* As it stands currently, this isn't strictly the latest package, just
that there's some package version that's installable. To ensure
the former, we'd have to query the latest version (e.g. similar to
what devel/download-latest does) and pass it into setup-nextstrain-cli
as an input, which would then pass it to
nextstraininNEXTSTRAIN_CONDA_BASE_PACKAGE.
Alternatively, we're likely to update
nextstrain setup condaanywayto query and install the latest version itself explicitly, just like
nextstrain update condadoes, and so this workflow can simply waitfor that change to happen.
Resolves #41.
