Hi, as you might have noticed I've been fiddling with GitHub actions recently, to get more PR checks going, and more reliable.
Currently the two pain points are: - The AppVeyor Windows build, very unreliable - The downstream project integration build [1], which is also not reliable and I have no idea if others are seeing (I'm guessing not, it's failing often and nobody complains). In addition to that, in case of random failures only a few people can restart the builds, especially in AppVeyor. The GitHub actions offer an alternative for both cases, and should be restartable by everyone with commit access (they can be restarted only in case they fail, mind). The Windows build (along with the new OSX one) have been up an running for a few days, I suggest we keep them along for some more time, and if it turns out (as it seems) that the Github windows build is more reliable than the AppVeyor one, we'll just shut off AppVeyor. I'm also working on a GeoServer version of the Windows/OSX build, a PR for your reviewing pleasure here: https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/3977 Going to the integration build, you can find it as a PR here: https://github.com/geotools/geotools/pull/2761 its definition in particular is here: https://github.com/geotools/geotools/blob/39e6e0be6afa31b9bc63a5022170cb4ebfb14ed0/.github/workflows/integration.yml Ah, one final note. In case anyone is interested in playing with GitHub actions to run more checks (e.g., a postgresql online build could be setup) then be warned that you cannot run the PR from your fork, if you do, GitHub will ignore it at the PR stage. Instead, push onto the main repository, and do a PR from there, that will allow the build to run inside the PR, and you can then play with it until it works as expected. Cheers Andrea [1] The build checks that a GeoTools change does not break GWC/GS, it was set up in CircleCI, but never worked reliably.
