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.
This line uses the Display trait for io::ErrorKind which was
stabilized in Rust 1.60.0. We can set MSRV all the way back to
1.57.0 by replacing it with a pretty-print.
Closes#2460.
It's very easy to use new rust features without realizing it since
the CI and local development workflows may use the latest rust version.
We try to keep some backwards compatibility with rust versions to make
packaging easier for some OS-level package-managers like Void Linux's.
See #1881.
This change runs the "Check" step for the pinned version of rust in
the rust-toolchain.toml file as well as the MSRV version in a matrix.
In order to bump the MSRV, we need to edit
.github/workflows/msrv-rust-toolchain.toml
This commit sets the MSRV as 1.60.0 but a later child commit will
reduce the MSRV back to 1.57.0.
Closes#2482.
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.
