[PATCH v1] travis-ci: build and test Git on Windows

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Most Git developers work on Linux and they have no way to know if their
changes would break the Git for Windows build. Let's fix that by adding
a job to TravisCI that builds and tests Git on Windows. Unfortunately,
TravisCI does not support Windows.

Therefore, we did the following:
* Johannes Schindelin set up a Visual Studio Team Services build
  sponsored by Microsoft and made it accessible via an Azure Function
  that speaks a super-simple API. We made TravisCI use this API to
  trigger a build, wait until its completion, and print the build and
  test results.
* A Windows build and test run takes up to 3h and TravisCI has a timeout
  after 50min for Open Source projects. Since the TravisCI job does not
  use heavy CPU/memory/etc. resources, the friendly TravisCI folks
  extended the job timeout for git/git to 3h.

Things, that would need to be done:
* Someone with write access to https://travis-ci.org/git/git would need
  to add the secret token as "GFW_CI_TOKEN" variable in the TravisCI
  repository setting [1]. Afterwards the build should just work.

Things, that might need to be done:
* The Windows box can only process a single build at a time. A second
  Windows build would need to wait until the first finishes. This
  waiting time and the build time after the wait could exceed the 3h
  threshold. If this is a problem, then it is likely to happen every day
  as usually multiple branches are pushed at the same time (pu/next/
  master/maint). I cannot test this as my TravisCI account has the 50min
  timeout. One solution could be to limit the number of concurrent
  TravisCI jobs [2].
