Expands the trigger sources of the release CI workflow (`release.yml`),
allowing the developers to test changes to `.github/workflows/release.yml`
easily. The new trigger sources start the workflow in a "preview" mode, in
which it publishes build outputs as a CI artifact instead of creating a new
release so that they can be manually inspected.
The following events trigger the preview mode:
- Pushing to any branch matching the glob pattern `patch/ci-release-*`.
- Opening a pull request that modifies `.github/workflows/release.yml`.
- Pushing versioning tags to a forked repository.
The tests are conditionally disabled for this target because the x86_64 CI
host is unable to run AArch64 binaries. (There is no officially-supported
reverse Rosetta 2.)
This is an optimization for the release CI. The release CI can take
a while since it compiles release builds for all operating systems.
We cut down on duplicate work and overall time by fetching
tree-sitter grammar repositories and then using those repositories
in all later steps. Previously we built all of helix just to run
helix_loader::grammar::fetch_grammars()
which is wasteful on time. With this change we only build the
helix-loader crate.
We've forked actions-rs/toolchain and merged
https://github.com/actions-rs/toolchain/pull/209
so we can take advantage of full support of `rust-toolchain.toml`.
Without that PR, the action fails because the `rustup` version
built into the runners by default is too old. #2528 covers switching
back to the upstream when it includes those changes.
* publish a source tarball with version and grammars
* include_str! the release version from a VERSION file
* remove setting of .version file from tag
don't need this anymore since the file is checked into source
79caa7b72b setup helix-term as the
default workspace member (which I believe is done to avoid building
xtask on every compile). This changes the behavior of 'cargo test'
though so that it only runs helix-term tests by default. To run all
tests, we switch to 'cargo test --workspace'.
This restores much of the behavior that existed before this PR:
helix will build the grammars when compiling. The difference is that
now fetching is also done during the build phase and is done much
more quickly - both shallow and in parallel.
We ran the tests first, but did not cross compile them. This step would
also compile all the grammar libraries (but for the host machine). On
the actual release build, the editor would get built for the target, but
the grammar libraries would be detected as present and wouldn't
recompile.
