CI updates

[Michael Bien <mb...@gmail.com>]

hi devs,

did travis' stability improve after some tests were exiled on their own 
job? Any problems with the new gh-actions pipeline?


some notes:

If a job on the gh-pipeline fails and its not because of your code, you 
can restart the job within the next 24h. After that you will have to 
restart the full pipeline since the workspace has a retention time of a 
day to conserve resources.

It is likely that nobody will ever notice since pushing into a PR will 
restart the full pipeline anyway. Restarting a single job is just a 
manual optimization in case of a unreliable job (looking at you 2h php 
test job).


I noticed once that a workflow run got stuck unrecoverable. What 
happened was that the primary build job uploaded the workspace 
successfully, but the file got corrupted and none of the secondary jobs 
could extract it.

There are two ways how to recover from this:

1) open the summary of the workflow run, scroll down and remove the 
build artifact manually. Now restart the full pipeline.

2) if this doesn't work, open 
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/actions, find your workflow run and 
delete it. Now push into the PR again and a fresh workflow run will start.

I hope this was just some github anomaly and doesn't happen regularly.

best regards,

michael

Hi,

I think things are more organized now, and the descriptions of jobs are 
much clearer also. A quick look at the travis report (see [1] for an 
example) clearly indicates that the failure is on that set of unreliable 
(!) tests.

So good job and thanks, Michael!

Kind regards,
Antonio
