Cirrus ci automatically pushes/caches docker images, which makes
containerization much simpler to handle. Moving this job to cirrus ci
shortens the job by a minute, and reduces github actions CI usage by two
minutes per PR.
Having CI scripts that is separate from the build system causes
tremendous amounts of problems, headaches and bugs. Testing the validity
of the scripts locally become near impossible as time goes on as they're
only vetted if it works on whatever CI provider we happened to have at
the time, with their own quirks and behavior.
The extra indirection between "cmake <-> general CI scripts <-> GHA" is
also a frequent source of problems, as the orchestration needs to be
done with environment variables, cmake flags and github actions matrix
strategy. This combination has turned out to be exceptionally fragile.
Examples:
15394b685513aa23b62ahttps://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/22072#discussion_r1094390713
A lot of the code was inlined to .github/workflows/ci.yml without
further modifications. While this in itself doesn't integrate with our
build system any more than the current situation, it does
1. remove a level of indirection, and more importantly
2. allow us to slowly start integrating the CI into our build system now
that all the relevant code is in one place.
* ci: show all logs at the end of a run
The current CI won't show the logs on error due to early exit. This will
at least show the logs, although for all tests at once.
It's a leftover artifact that currently just acts as an unnecessary
intermediary script that calls the Makefile. It can be replaced by just
calling the Makefile directly.
Problem:
Dirs "config", "packaging", and "third-party" are all closely related
but this is not obvious from the layout. This adds friction for new
contributors.
Solution:
- rename config/ to cmake.config/
- rename test/config/ to test/cmakeconfig/ because it is used in Lua
tests: require('test.cmakeconfig.paths').
- rename packaging/ to cmake.packaging/
- rename third-party/ to cmake.deps/ (parallel with .deps/)
* build: move the logic for linters to cmake
Cmake is our source of truth. We should have as much of our build
process there as possible so everyone can make use of it.
* build: remove redundant check for ninja generator
The minimum cmake version as of writing this is 3.10, which has ninja
support.
> DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 reached the end of its life on January 1st, 2020
Testing `pynvim` compatibility with python2 should not be done in core,
and there's only a provider_spec for python3 either way.
On GitHub Actions it just repeats the summary that is shown just after.
When run outside of GitHub Actions it erroneously shows the summary of
the previous suites.
Addresses: #12571
- Added the following installers through CMake files:
- Windows NSIS.
- Windows MSI.
- Windows zip.
- MacOs tarball.
- Linux tarball.
- Linux Deb package.
- Tweaked pipeline CPack commands to build using new CMakeLists.txt configuration file.
- Added icons and relevant packaging files.
- Updated notes.md to reflect new installation instructions.
This isn't meant to be the perfect solution, it's simply a first pass at using a
simple packaging system to build Windows installers. A Debian package has also
been added since it's very easy but other packages have been left out due to
limiting the scope. Hopefully we can build further upon this and improve it
over time with code signing, better icons and more user-friendly installation
graphics and so on.
The VS 2019 CMake generator no longer has different generator types for
different architectures. Now, the architecture is specified via CMake's
`-A` switch. However, this requires we also propagate
`${CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM}` to the bundled deps, so they build for the
same architecture as Nvim.
