Travis CI supports cron jobs. It could be configured to run the tests every day, or week, or something. This would then automatically catch new errors in the latest version of DMD.
Thanks!
Back in the day that wasn't a feature on Travis, and the other service that did it didn't support non-master branches. Thanks for reminding me of this, I'll give it a try again.
To further enhance the CI pipeline dmd-beta
and dmd-nightly
can be cause in .travis.yml
. Using dmd-nightly
combined with a nightly cron job would catch changes/regressions within 24 hours after they're merged. Travis CI also now supports macOS and Windows (early release). Testing on macOS is straightforward. On Windows the D toolchain needs to be installed manually.
In addition to that, the D core team now has a CI pipeline [1] that builds and tests around 70 projects from code.dlang.org. This pipeline will run for every pull request for DMD, druntime and Phobos. This allows to catch regressions before they're merged. Anyone can add their project but it requires there's a maintainer that can respond fairly quickly, in case of any indented changes.
Compiles with DMD 2.085.0-beta.1 as well. The first commit strips trialing whitespace. I recommend hiding whitespace changes in the diff or reviewing the commits individually.
