Add CI #27

Closed nmattia closed 5 years ago

nmattia commented 5 years ago

Adds a CircleCI config that builds the survey and uploads the build artifacts to cachix. Next steps:

Login to CircleCI and enable the project
Add your cachix token to the env
Add the badge to the README (coz it's cool)

Some more questions:

Building GHCs + all of Stackage can take very long (many hours on a performant workstation). Can CircleCI handle that, or will builds take forever? Last time I tried it, its VMs were very very slow.
Is there a maximum duration for builds?
Is it possible to build on dedicated servers as build slaves, e.g. to run on a cheap Hetzner?

nh2 commented 5 years ago

Now suddently I'm getting:

https://circleci.com/gh/nh2/static-haskell-nix/4

Fatal error: glibc detected an invalid stdio handle
Aborted (core dumped)
Exited with code 134

Hmm OK. Trying with https://github.com/nh2/static-haskell-nix/commit/bc4b14493bd6f9af4a64dabbbf470e3c0c5897e5

@nmattia Hmm getting the next weird stuff:

Step was canceled

Step was canceled?

Also it still went green nevertheless, but that stage went grey somehow.

nmattia commented 5 years ago

That's normal; cachix runs in the background and gets canceled when the main job finishes

nh2 commented 5 years ago

@nmattia ~Ah, is this perhaps because it runs as a daemon?~ I should have refreshed, seeing your answer now.

If yes, it it possble to make that clear somehow?

nmattia commented 5 years ago

Make it clearer from what point of view? It's currently using CircleCI's support for background steps but you could use cachix ... & instead

nh2 commented 5 years ago

I'll just rename the section heading to Run cachix in background (it is normal for this to be cancelled at the end), that should do.

Cool this is working now!
