The JUnit cover report is useful, but only up to a point; for instance,
it's not used unless it's part of a merge request. This means you don't
get a report if you're pushing to a branch that does not have an MR open.
With a simple Python script and some minimal templating, we can generate
an HTML report from the "I Can't Believe it's not JSON™" log that Meson
produces, and keep it as a CI artifact.
Since we're embedding text coming from the tests into the report, we
should specify an encoding for both the source JSON file and the target
XML file when opening them.
GitLab's CI will bail out at the first failure, which means the
JSON-to-JUnit conversion script won't run unless it's part of the same
script that we run for building an testing.
A recent dependency change in MSYS2 made it pull in vulkan, which made
meson think it's available but it somehow links against the system vulkan dll
instead.
Disable vulkan for now.
There where some problems (??) with ccache not detecting changes during meson
checks. Setting CCACHE_DISABLE during the meson execution makes ccache not use
the cache and pass things directly to the compiler.
The Fedora base image we use for our CI doesn't always keep Meson up to
date with our requirements, so it's better if we just install Meson via
Python's pip.
Turns out that GCC errors out when building the GLib test suite, as it
now checks for overflows in allocator functions, and we're testing for
those.
This would not be an issue for GTK, but since we're building GLib as a
subproject, we get failures for those as well.
Until we can find out how to disable errors for subprojects, or fix the
GLib test suite not to trip up warnings in GCC, we're going to live
without compiler warnings treated as errors for a while.
xvfb doesn't like C.utf8 and returns XLocaleNotSupported.
While (afaik) C.utf8 and C.UTF.8 should be the same thing, and the former
is returned by locale -a on Fedora, switch to C.UTF-8 to make xvfb happy.
This makes gtk+:gdk tests pass.
The GitLab cache is kept across jobs, whether they succeeded or not:
this means that if a compiler check fails during the Meson
configuration, the small compiler program gets cached and restored the
next time the job is run, thus failing again.
