fixes instability in precise version of tools resulting in some runners
getting a downgraded version and producing spuriously fixed/reintroduced
codeql alerts.
This is a no-op change from v2 to v3, but github complains that nodejs
is outdated if you don't. It's not obvious why this required a major
version bump...
However, half of our uses are on v1, which has a decent fix: failure to
upload artifacts constitutes a step failure.
Not much changes, really, other than it now sets PKG_CONFIG_PATH to
point to the python it just installed. This should generally not be a
problem (Meson's python module sets that anyway based on the
executable's introspection data).
lgtm.com was acquired by github. It is deprecated and on its way out,
because they've integrated the functionality itself into github. Take a
look at what its official replacement can do.
This does run as yet another Actions slot, which is already fairly
excessive, but the average runtime seems about 5 minutes so that's not
too bad...
This tests stable maintenance branches, to ensure that build directories
created with older versions of Meson continue to work without wiping,
after updating to a bugfix release.
Downgrade to LLVM-14 from LLVM-15 which is somewhat broken when using
static linking at present:
https://github.com/Homebrew/discussions/discussions/3666#discussioncomment-3681821
We can't use LLVM's lld instead of ld on macOS because we don't detect
it as an Apple linker and pass --as-needed etc to it. Even when that
is fixed and we set -lto_library etc correctly, the linker just hangs.
LLVM@14 is keg-only, so we need to add CPPFLAGS / LDFLAGS to the keg
subdir inside /usr/local
The LLVM@15 test is shared-only now and moved to the qt4 macOS job.
This was initially added in eb76ba7031 to avoid picking
it up from azure/gha images.
Looks like it is no longer set for some time now though:
https://github.com/actions/runner-images/pull/540
so should no longer be needed.
The empty string makes some meson tests fail which expect a path.
A recent msys2-runtime change now lets empty env vars through to child processes
whereas before they would get filtered out, which is why this worked before.
"MSYSTEM= python ..." no longer works because of some changes in the MSYS2 runtime
Until this is fixed in either MinGW Python or the MSYS2 runtime this should revert
things to the previous behaviour to get the CI green again.
It's a bit annoying having to *manually* disable a workflow for forks,
because the scheduled build is a waste of time and also spammy.
On the other hand, having the workflow enabled is in general a good
thing, because it is in fact desirable to test it locally in forks.
Due to https://github.com/gcovr/gcovr/pull/576 it is not possible to
`pip install gcovr` and have it work.
It is possible, but not ideal, to install the cygwin gcovr package,
which is unmaintained and built for python36 while only depending on
python39.
This is of course not a problem on the other CI jobs, where we either
install it from a distro repository that ensures it is stable and
backports patches, or simply tests that the resulting image passes tests
before baking it as a CI images update.
gcovr upstream isn't sure when they are going to release a new version
that fixes this bug. There is a new feature release scheduled "soon".
Unfortunately, checking for strings without context is exceedingly prone
to false positives, while missing anything that indirectly opens a file.
Python 3.10 has a feature to warn about this though -- and it uses a
runtime check which runs at the same time that the code fails to open
files in the broken Windows locale. Set this up automatically when
running the testsuite.
Sadly, Python's builtin feature to change the warning level, e.g. by
setting EncodingWarning to error at startup, is utterly broken if you
want to limit it to only certain modules. This is tracked in order to be
more efficiently ignored at https://bugs.python.org/issue34624 and
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/9358
It is also very trigger happy and passing stuff around via environment
variable either messes with the testsuite, or with thirdparty programs
which are implemented in python *such as lots of gnome*, or perhaps
both.
Instead, add runtime code to meson itself, to add a hidden "feature".
In the application source code, running the 'warnings' module, you can
actually get the expected behavior that $PYTHONWARNINGS doesn't have. So
check for a magic testsuite variable every time meson starts up, and if
it does, then go ahead and initialize a warnings filter that makes
EncodingWarning fatal, but *only* when triggered via Meson and not
arbitrary subprocess scripts.
The $CI environment variable may be generally set by Github or Gitlab
actions, and is not a reliable indicator of whether we are running "CI".
It could also, for an absolutely random example that didn't *just
happen*, be Alpine Linux's attempt to enable the Meson testsuite in
their packaging, which... uses Gitlab CI.
In this case, we do want to perform normal skipping on not-found
requirements. Instead of checking for $CI, check for $MESON_CI_JOBNAME
as we already use that in all of our own CI jobs for various reasons.
This makes it easier for linux distros to package Meson without
accumulating hacks like "run the testsuite using `env -u CI`".
Now cygwin seems to have completed a migration of the default python to
3.9, so that is where the devel package is at.
Back out the changes from commit 3304a38496
and update the pip/wheel packages as appropriate.
For a long time now, this has done 3 different things, only one of which
is mypy. But they are labeled:
- LintMypy / lint
(runs pylint)
- LintMypy / custom_lint
(runs a custom script)
- LintMypy / mypy
(actually runs mypy)
This reduces the usable length of the label which isn't all that long to
begin with, is actively misleading, and even when you know what is going
on, it becomes harder to tell at a glance what failed. Change it to be
more unambiguous.
multiple versions of python are packaged by cygwin, and the default
python is auto-selected as the latest one via a Debian-like alternatives
system.
This recently broke because dblatex is built against 3.9, causing it to
be installed too and resulting in multiple (inconsistent) versions of
python being installed, and `python3` pointing to the one we don't have
devel packages for and isn't even the default version.
Fix this by pointing back to the intended python.
Previously the meson test case would only test boost-python on linux.
With the #7909 it is now possible to use boost-python on macOS/homebrew.
This enables the boost-python test on both linux and macOS.
It also uses python.extension_module() instead of shared_library to make the
python extension module.
code coverage may be interesting to some people as an informational
update, but it's really fragile and sometimes obscure, and overall we
would really like to NOT have most PRs reporting a red X in the CI
overview, when all project/unittests succeeded but codecov decides that
by some inscrutbale metric, coverage by % has dropped.
Elegant refactorings are penalized, because removing lines of code or
rewriting them to be more compact, means the overall percentage of
covered code is "less", even though no uncovered code got added.
Even worse, the coverage reports often erroneously complain that a PR
has "added lines #L<num> - L<num> were not covered by tests" even though
github helpfully points out they are "Unchanged files with check
annotations". Or more generally, codecov claims that coverage has
dropped in code which the PR can't touch.
The whole thing is just too much of a source of trouble. So, configure
codecov to consider all PRs as successful no matter what. It is still
welcome to leave informational comments, though.
Set MESON_CI_JOBNAME for all CI jobs which run project tests.
(Note that ${{ github.job }} is the literal job.id used in the yaml, not
any name given to the job with job.id.name, and so is the same for all
matrix entries, and thus not suitable for our purposes there).
Remove hard-coded framework test skip logic in skippable(), instead
annotate test.json with environments in which skip is expected.
(Mainly this is done with by testing the value of MESON_CI_JOBNAME now
set for linux jobs)
Split out checking of file format as a separate GitHub workflow, rather
than running it as part of the project tests for every platform and
toolchain combination in CI, so that this test is not effected by the
changed paths constraints which are applied to the project tests.
The 'build images' workflow runs on a schedule, so will run (and fail)
weekly in every fork.
Don't try to push to docker if docker credentials aren't in repository
secrets.
(A test for that has to be written rather indirectly due to
https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/520)
