dispatch.sr.ht is being deprecated, meaning that using sourcehut CI
won't be possible (see https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/19609).
Since Github Actions doesn't provide any BSD runners an external service
is required and Cirrus CI seems like a good replacement for sourcehut.
Initially experimented with using FreeBSD and OpenBSD virtual machines
in GitHub Actions, but Cirrus has been a much better fit with better
performance, logs and overall experience.
Failing tests are automatically skipped on FreeBSD regardless if it's on
CI or not. Ideally these tests should only be skipped in CI with the
help of `isCI` helper function. Unfortunately, the tests don't recognize
the environment variable CIRRUS_CI even if it's set manually. This
workaround is good enough for the time being, but we might want to only
skip tests when using the CI (or even better, fix the failing tests).
Closes: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/19609
It's more convenient to not specify the version and let openbsd's
package manager figure it out. This will help us avoid manually bumping
dependency versions when a new version of openbsd is released.
Some packages have multiple versions and not specifying a version in
those cases fails the CI job, so providing a version seems to be
necessary for some key packages.
Problem:
Dirs "config", "packaging", and "third-party" are all closely related
but this is not obvious from the layout. This adds friction for new
contributors.
Solution:
- rename config/ to cmake.config/
- rename test/config/ to test/cmakeconfig/ because it is used in Lua
tests: require('test.cmakeconfig.paths').
- rename packaging/ to cmake.packaging/
- rename third-party/ to cmake.deps/ (parallel with .deps/)
Many compiler checks rely on optimizations being enabled, so we want
these to show up in CI. Use RelWithDebInfo instead of Release so that
assert() statements aren't compiled out.
Adapt some tests for OpenBSD:
- scrollback_spec:
- seq(1) is not available on OpenBSD: we'd use jot(1).
- Instead use a (hopefully) portable awk(1) snippet.
- channels_spec
- job_spec
- tui_spec
