This reverts commit fd2997c2db.
Core tests are no longer online, so no longer are flaky nor tie up many
minutes of test runner time. So re-enable for all jobs.
They're still slightly flaky even with insanely long timeouts, and even when not they waste a huge amount of our runner time sitting and waiting for the DHT to disconnect and reconnect.
Still run on our fedora job to get almost all of the benefit, plus AddressSanitizer is enabled there for better testing synergy.
Keep disabled for jobs that produce artifacts to not affect user performance.
Keep disabled for other distros that don't produce artifacts as well since other versions of Qt fail themselves in e.g. TestSmileyPack's QGuiApplication usage.
Don't enable thread sanitizer yet due to many Qt internal errors.
This should still give us a significant increase in qTox coverage, even if we have low platform coverage.
Matches Windows and AppImage build script behaviour.
Irrelevant for CI runs, but since the build dir is inside the user's mounted
qTox dir, this stops manual runs from deleting a possibly existing directory,
and allows the user to chose the build dir.
Requires removing of the check for committed generated cmake files, but I can't
imagine those making it past review anyway.
Motiviation:
* Reproducing issues in CI is currently difficult
* Predicting issues in CI is currently difficult if you are not on
ubuntu 18.04
* Reproducing issues submitted from other distros is currently done by
creating a VM of that distro and building qtox for it locally
* Documentation for how to build on different distros is out of date
* Issues on non-ubuntu distributions are not caught by CI
* Cross compiling for windows locally is not trivial
* Iterating when working with custom build scripts is slow, scripts
don't necessarily support re-running without re-starting the docker
container and re-building qtox again
* Updating dependencies is a pain
Changes:
* docker-compose file has been added to the root of our repo.
After `docker compose run --rm ubuntu` (or other supported distros),
you are ready to compile and run qtox
* Dependencies are owned by dependency install scripts in buildscripts/.
This allows us to use the same exact dependencies in our
OSX/windows/linux scripts
* New docker images have been added for a variety of distributions.
These are now run in CI in a variety of configurations
* Docker images are cached in CI so rebuild time for the majority of
jobs is quite quick
* Build scripts have been trimmed to leverage state of docker
containers.
* Windows build script no longer installs anything, dependencies are
now managed by the windows_builder docker images
* Build scripts should now be easily re-runnable. Usage is now `docker
compose run --rm <image>` and then run the scripts
* All artifacts are now uploaded to github after build, this means we
can take an appimage/flatpak/exe/dmg for any given PR and try it out
without having to build it ourselves
Notes:
* Docker image size is quite important. We have a maximum of 5GB cache
space on github actions. The majority of the linux distro docker
images cache at ~300-400MB, which gives us room to test ~6 distros
after accounting for the sizes of flatpak/windows docker images
* Docker layer ordering is relatively intentional. Approximate order
should be that large dependencies that change infrequently should be
farther up. This lowers the amount of rebuilding we have to do when
dependencies are updated
* download_xxx.sh scripts are the cleanest way I could find to implement
a shared dependency map between osx scripts and docker containers.
Although it would be nice to have a single dependency mapping file,
splitting it into individual scripts allows us to only rebuild some
docker layers when dependencies are updated.
* Github actions are split between docker image building and docker
image use. This allows us to re-use the same docker images for
multiple jobs, but only build it once
* Unfortunately I could not find a way to de-duplicate the stitching
between jobs, so we have a lot of copy pasta in that area
