Think about AppVeyor (Windows + Linux CI) #51

Closed PeterBowman closed 6 years ago

PeterBowman commented 6 years ago

AppVeyor goes Linux according to https://www.appveyor.com/blog/2018/03/06/appveyor-for-linux/.

See how it works in asrob-uc3m/robotDevastation:

Also: YARP's .appveyor.yml.

Looks good, but we should measure where we put our efforts, as at least we have Travis CI.

In case anyone would like to fiddle with this, here is the follow-up from the AppVeyor blog: https://www.appveyor.com/blog/2018/05/15/appveyor-for-linux-is-generally-available/.

Funnily, Travis also supports Windows builds, now: https://blog.travis-ci.com/2018-10-11-windows-early-release.

Tested in https://github.com/roboticslab-uc3m/color-debug/pull/18. Honestly, I don't want to think about AppVeyor anymore. In case we ever need to test our code against Windows, let's try Travis first. If there is any compelling reason (e.g. missing dependencies?), switch to AppVeyor, which in my experience is quite tedious to work with (you need to learn the CMD/PowerShell syntax, no parallel jobs).

Totally agreed. Given the situation with Travis supporting Windows and the extra cons you mention, AppVeyor does not seem the way to go right now.
