So true. Then I will do PR's first.
I finally got around implementing running dmd/druntime/phobos
pull requests against all dub packages. Thank you digger, for
making it so easy.
I did a run of master + druntime#1602. Then I ran a comparison
with a batch from 2.071.2-b2. 108 packages had a different
build result. I have no nice stats or pictures, but a quick
glance over the raw data:
50 of them went from green unittests to a dmd exit code 1.
16 went from unknown build results to dmd exit code 1.
10 went from dmd exit code 255 to 1
9 of them are now green.
8 of them went from linker errors to a dmd exit code 1.
6 of then went from non-zero exit code during unittest run to a
dmd exit code 1.
3 previous ran out of memory but now resulted in dmd exit code
1.
etc.
All in all I think +/- 96 package are affected. A little over
11%.
That's awesome to know!
How difficult would it be to integrate it with the dlang GitHub
PR workflow?
I am just shooting an idea that popped into my head:
We already use CircleCi and Travis for the dlang repos, so if we
lock the packages to a fixed version (to prevent failures caused
by the package authors), we might be able create a simple file
like:
```
vibe.d==0.7.29
mir==0.16.3
...
```
We could select a subset (e.g. 50-100), s.t. the runtime doesn't
get exorbitant.
Following we could then do enable the checking in CircleCi with
sth. similar to:
```
wget
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dlang/community-list/master/dlang-packages.master # just an example, idea is to host the file somewhere on GitHub s.t. editing it is easy
dub fetch your-fancy-tool --version="x.y.y"
dub run your-fancy-tool --config dlang-stable.packages
```
Of course CircleCi doesn't have the access rights to post back to
the hook API, but you could send a notification to dlang-bot [1]
which has the permissions or let the CI error / fail.
Otherwise you could of course look into setting up your own job
queue (or hack with the code from the auto-tester [2]), which
might be fun too.
