Appveyor is timing out

Lately Appveyor is timing out due to the 1 hour limit:

I have started doing some early trials with Travis CI for Windows, which so far have not been fruitful:

It seems Travis is still in it's infancy for a project like FreeCAD

Using your latest https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/blob ... s.yml#L218
I'm not sure of the environment on Travis, or AppVeyor for that matter. I run this script from the build directory for CMake locally.

Code: Select all

cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" ^
      -DFREECAD_LIBPACK_DIR="C:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads\FreeCADLibs_12.1.2_x64_VC15" ^
      -DBUILD_QT5=TRUE ^
      -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ^
      C:\Users\USERNAME\GitHub\FreeCAD

So I specify the full path to the libpack and at the end the full path to the FreeCAD git clone. I don't know if Travis will accept the carets, maybe it all has to be on one line line separated by a space and all enclosed in double quotes?
Line 67, I think the language should be cpp, but some duckduckgo suggest maybe BASH works?
Line 70, I think can be omitted, I think on Win Travis doesn't have a built in Python yet, and FreeCAd will use the Python from the Libpack anyway?
Line 218 windows) should be "windows") ?

Everything is a ? because I don't know either. I noticed from the builds of your last commit there is not a Travis error, does this mean that the travis.yaml wasn't parsed and we don't even get error messages?

Hi there!

It can be, but Appveyor not being an option due to the 60 minutes timeout, there are not many alternatives for a big project...

The AppVeyor config of that branch for MSVC2017 appears to build... but unsurprisingly it times out.

About Travis, I have read the manual, but there are a lot of edges as you say. Most of the information I got, I found it in the forums of travis.

I have no idea. I think this one would go thru experimentation... if we get to have a result...

All the "working" examples I found on the Internet are bash based. I read reports saying "cpp" would not work. However, what did not work in December 2018 maybe now works...

Ah, Ok. This one I just copied

Good catch!

I have no clue what happened. It looked like it did not start. I will correct the "windows" error and remove the Python thingy and push a modification... let's cross fingers...

I got thru CMake by setting the path to python.exe in the libpack. https://travis-ci.org/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/j ... 62733#L493
I'm working here: https://github.com/sgrogan/FreeCAD/tree/travis-win

I think we need to move this to the "windows") block from the install block, I will try.

EDIT: Now I'm butting my head against the OSX/Linux builds. I think some global stuff needs to be moved to the OS/Linux specific blocks?
More tomorrow.

I worked further on your output.

I set variables around so as to use the same make block.

I am trying the msbuild.exe command after the successful make. Maybe I am missing creating a "bin" file I am not sure, but Appveyor creates a bin and copies the bin content to freecad. I am not sure if this is necessary or not...

More tomorrow

I learnt that it is possible to cancel only some build in travis for test purposes.

By clicking on the icon at the end of the line, it is possible to cancel the builds for linux/pivy... and only leave the windows one running. The advantage being not overloading travis for nothing.

I have been trying this for the Windows tests. ATM Travis is stuck and I cannot continue with the trials.

I found this:

This looks like a little bit of progress, but is puzzling me, which one is the other "project"?

Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 15.9.20+g88f5fadfbe for .NET Framework
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
MSBUILD : error MSB1008: Only one project can be specified.
Switch: FreeCAD_Trunk.sln
For switch syntax, type "MSBuild /help"

Code: Select all

The command "if [ "${TRAVIS_OS_NAME}" == "windows" ]; then 
    MSBuild.exe /m FreeCAD_Trunk.sln
else
    sudo make -j2 install
fi
" exited with 1.

The build is this:
https://travis-ci.org/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/jobs/525275062

It is building:

about ccache, it appears to be one independent cache per matrix generation.
