CI #2

Open mitza-oci opened 4 years ago

mitza-oci commented 4 years ago

Add script for Azure Pipelines CI (or similar) to validate the build.

kdopen commented 4 years ago

I'd need you to provide this. I'm not familiar with Azure Pipelines. Also, CI is expensive with Yocto. A minimal incremental build can easily take 15 minutes - a full build anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours.

At a minimum your main build script would look something like

YOCTO_RELEASE="thud"
git clone --branch $YOCTO_RELEASE https://git.yoctoproject.org/git/poky
git clone --branch $YOCTO_RELEASE https://github.com/oci-labs/meta-opendds.git
source poky/oe-init-build-env
yocto-check-layer ../meta-opendds
bitbake opendds opendds-native nativesdk-opendds

This won't build a complete image, so it will be faster than a full build, but it will start off by compiling the compiler and everything that needs. You'd need to add anything else that Azure Pipelines needs.

And, of course, you really need to do the above script for each of the supported Yocto releases (rocko, sumo, thud and at some point warrior)

Also, the CI server needs the following packages installed

sudo apt-get install gawk wget git-core diffstat unzip texinfo gcc-multilib \
     build-essential chrpath socat cpio python python3 python3-pip python3-pexpect \
     xz-utils debianutils iputils-ping python3-git python3-jinja2 libegl1-mesa libsdl1.2-dev \
     xterm

We usually build within a container to make things easier.

Yes, our team can help with getting this set up. It could be from a different service but we have some experience with Azure and it's pretty flexible and integrates well with GitHub.

Also, CI is expensive with Yocto. A minimal incremental build can easily take 15 minutes - a full build anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours.

If we can get it in the 30-90 minute range we should be OK. Here's an OpenDDS example: https://dev.azure.com/opendds/OpenDDS/_build/results?buildId=1137
