NOTES FOR EMACS CONTINUOUS BUILD ON EMBA
|
||
|
||
A continuous build for Emacs can be found at
|
||
<https://emba.gnu.org/emacs/emacs>, a Gitlab instance. It watches the
|
||
Emacs git repository and starts a pipeline (jobset) if there are new
|
||
changes. This happens for all Emacs branches which belong to the
|
||
defined workflow (see below).
|
||
|
||
* Mail notifications
|
||
|
||
In addition to the web interface, emba can send notifications by email
|
||
when a job fails. It sends notifications about test status to
|
||
<emacs-buildstatus@gnu.org>.
|
||
|
||
If you want to receive these notifications, please subscribe at
|
||
<https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-buildstatus>.
|
||
|
||
Alternatively, these notifications can be read via gmane at
|
||
<nntp+news.gmane.org:gmane.emacs.buildstatus>.
|
||
|
||
The messages contain a URL to the log file of the failed job, like
|
||
<https://emba.gnu.org/emacs/emacs/-/jobs/739/raw>.
|
||
|
||
* Emacs jobset
|
||
|
||
The Emacs jobset is defined in the Emacs source tree, file
|
||
'.gitlab-ci.yml'. All related files are located in directory
|
||
'test/infra'. They could be adapted for every Emacs branch, see
|
||
<https://emba.gnu.org/help/ci/yaml/README.md>.
|
||
|
||
Only branches whose name starts with 'master', 'emacs', 'feature', or
|
||
'fix' are considered. This is declared in the workflow rules of file
|
||
'test/infra/gitlab-ci.yml'.
|
||
|
||
A jobset on Gitlab is called a pipeline. Emacs pipelines run through
|
||
the stages 'build-images', 'platform-images' and 'native-comp-images'
|
||
(create an Emacs instance by 'make bootstrap' with different
|
||
configuration parameters) as well as 'normal', 'platforms' and
|
||
'native-comp' (run respective test jobs based on the produced images).
|
||
|
||
The jobs for stage 'normal' are contained in the file
|
||
'test/infra/test-jobs.yml'. This file is generated by calling 'make
|
||
-C test generate-test-jobs' in the Emacs source tree, and the
|
||
resulting file should be pushed to the Emacs git repository afterwards.
|
||
|
||
Every job runs in a Debian docker container. It uses the local clone
|
||
of the Emacs git repository to perform a bootstrap and test of Emacs.
|
||
This could happen for several jobs with changed configuration, compile,
|
||
and test parameters.
|
||
|
||
The 'build-image-*' jobs of the different '*-images' stages run only
|
||
if there are severe changes in the Emacs sources, like in Makefiles
|
||
etc. Otherwise they are skipped, and the corresponding 'test-*' jobs
|
||
run just 'make -C test ...' in the respective Docker image from a
|
||
previous build run.
|
||
|
||
Jobs in the 'build-images' and 'normal' stages are triggered by
|
||
changes of respective files in the Emacs git repository. All other
|
||
jobs run scheduled in a pipeline every 8 hours.
|
||
|
||
The log files for every test job are kept on the server for a week.
|
||
They can be downloaded from the server, visiting the URL
|
||
<https://emba.gnu.org/emacs/emacs/-/pipelines>, and selecting the job
|
||
in question.
|
||
|
||
Every pipeline generates a JUnit test report for the respective test
|
||
jobs, which can be inspected on the pipeline web page. This test
|
||
report counts completed ERT tests, aborted tests are not counted.
|
||
|
||
* Emba configuration
|
||
|
||
The emba configuration files are hosted on
|
||
<https://gitlab.com/emacs-ci/emba-ansible>.
|
||
|
||
* Identifying emba
|
||
|
||
Lisp packages, Makefiles, scripts, and other software could determine
|
||
whether they run on emba by checking for the environment variable
|
||
EMACS_EMBA_CI.
