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)
* CI: Don't run cross-only test when other workflows are changed
* CI: Move Cygwin test run from Azure Pipelines to GitHub workflow
Also review installed package list, dropping detritus from 42792554, not
removed in f5ed85d7.
Some changes:
* Set HOME to /root, since github mounts its own HOME and 'wine'
(because of permissions) and 'dub' (can't find packages) don't
like that.
* Remove the seccomp option, doesn't seem to be needed.
Fixes a test when using pkgconf instead of pkg-config.
The .pc file in the pkgconfig-gen test requires it and pkgconf seems be
stricter here and fails to validate.
Add '--cross-only' option to run_tests.py, so we can arrange not to run
tests in the 'native' suite when only a cross-compiler is available, as
they can't succeed.
