Re: [GNC-dev] openSUSE added to Docker; easy builds for dev and CI
OK. Emoji are a bit problematic: Gtk's support for them is still a bit spotty even on X11 and is completely broken on MacOS and Win32. Then there's Guile; there were a lot of problems with their Unicode handling design in Guile 2.0--it was utterly broken on Win32--so if it's really in SRFI64 and works on Ubuntu 18 then just disabling those tests for Guile 2.0 is probably the right thing to do. Debugging Guile internals isn't much fun and they're not going to take patches for 2.0 so it would be a waste of time to try and isolate the bug.

Re: [GNC-dev] openSUSE added to Docker; easy builds for dev and CI
Yes, I found those two dockers in the gnucash repo, saw what they were doing (e.g. param compatibility), and then made new ones with more flexibility. This is a work-in-progress for me; my first contribution for the community. I often gravitate towards things that are multipliers -- helping others to help. These dockers help me (so I can compile docs, code) and can help other people through individual compiles/setups and through automated testing/reporting/build CI systems. One of my goals this month is to setup CI with all the Linux containers and make a page demonstrating themthe little colored badges showing which pass/fail/etc. This will take my testing of these to the next stage. Travis is only an example. Yes, there are other service options that can do Windows containers (though Travis has early alpha support, and their HQ is in Berlin where I live) through not all the services are free for FOSS. I found this site w/ an Appveyor docker example https://stefanscherer.github.io/setup-windows-docker-ci-appveyor/ I get the bounding timespan (14.04 --> Arch) approach. I believe having a wider set of OS is also useful. For example, I've found a failure with the handling of emoji on the maintenance branch with more recent Ubuntu's and SRFI64. It doesn't appear in 14.04 (because it doesn't have SRFI64), Arch, Debian, openSUSE, or CentOS. The current CI isn't catching it. It is only Ubuntu 16.04+. I suspect a code bug, change in dependencies, additional undocumented setup needs, etc -- all helpful to resolve to improve the setup docs, code, test cases, build config, etc. [I have not yet logged a bug as I'm not yet confident I've isolated the issue] All feedback is appreciated.

You know that we already have Dockers for Arch and Ubuntu-14.04 (Arch because it's always bleeding-edge, Ubuntu originally because that's what Travis-CI supported before Docker came along and latterly because it's a good representative of the oldest dependencies supported for the 3.x series). They're in utils/ci. Travis-CI builds are at https://travis-ci.org/Gnucash/gnucash/builds/ IIUC Travis-CI doesn't do Windows and we need to set up an Appveyor instance for that. Does Appveyor use Docker? Regards, John Ralls ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
