This saves two build-jobs from performing the same (expensive!)
compilation+installation over and over again, when it is much cheaper to
cache it in the image instead.
`generator.py` can now be used to perform documentation generation and
embedding in one go, simplifying the entire process while at the same
time getting rid of intermediate `docs.md` being checked in to the
repository. For this the CI needs the submodules with `gir` and the
`.gir` files.
grcov 0.8.0 now has cobertura support so we no longer need to to export
to lcov format and then convert.
Extract the summary from the generated html so the metric matches the
one from the html report (for some reason the cobertura ones are
differents).
The new gitlab summary parsing regexp is now:
<abbr .*>(\d+.\d+) %<\/abbr>
Quite a few issues slipped in over time because the docs are only
extended with `embed-lgpl-docs` and provided as artifact as part of a
manual action, that isn't clicked often.
redundant_pattern_matching does not seem to exist (perhaps renamed to
if_let_redundant_pattern_matching), and single_match + cast_lossless do
not seem to be violated (anymore?).
In 55badab1 versioning features were added to these crates after all
(even though they are not used in the actual code, merely to forward the
feature flag to dependencies like `gst` and `gst-gl`). They were omitted
at first and have these special cases in the CI, but those are not
necessary anymore.
Fixes: b2f3363c ("CI: Update to restructured GL EGL/Wayland/X11 layout")
They're fully additive so there's no point in building with default
features too.
For the non-sys bindings we might want to consider building with default
features though.
There have been some very weird issues, where
cargo keeps fetching older commits of glib-rs
and breaking the build like so [1]
Might be stale cache, or some http/git mirroring
shenanigans, so lets stop trying to use the
cache for now and check if the issue persists.
its confusing and it took 3 attempts to get `before_script`
to fucntion as expected. Instead get rid of the anchor
and use a (questionable) but simpler heuristic to detemine
when to update the lockfile.
We are caching the CARGO_HOME which includes git repos of
the gtk-rs bindings. Since we don't specify a branch
so it uses the default branch for the ref.
cargo build usually does an update if it has network access,
but its not guaranted or the case for other tools like clippy
which may still point to the stale git snapshot like here:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/thaytan/gstreamer-rs/-/jobs/4165449
At the moment we are building 3 independent images, each one having a different
Rust version. This works perfectly fine but we can save storage space and
bandwith by making a smarter use of Docker's layering system.
Introducing a new 'base' image containing all the deps, including
GStreamer, acting as a base for the actual images.
As a result most of the actual content is now shared accross the same
Docker layer. This would save us from downloading/building all the deps
when updating images and will reduce storage and transfers for runners.
CARGO_HOME's semantic depends on when it's used in the pipeline:
- it's the install prefix when installing Cargo
- it's the crate cache location when building jobs
env.sh is sourced at the start of all jobs and was overidding the
CARGO_HOME path defined in the CI template for caching. Fix this by
moving the prefix install path to install-rust.sh.
