Hi,

Christophe changed the Jenkins setup related to testing in a very nice way:

-> first the current pharo 1.4 is updated to the latest. (as it used to be) -> new: then we have a Matrix job for running tests on all plattforms. This is one project, but it spawns test runs on all plattforms (Linux and Mac for now). https://ci.lille.inria.fr/pharo/view/Build%20pipeline/job/Pharo%201.4%20Test...

-> Only if this build is green, it triggers all depending builds.

see

https://ci.lille.inria.fr/pharo/view/Build%20pipeline/

The matrix is used already for other things -> build of Cog: https://ci.lille.inria.fr/pharo/job/Cog-VM/ win, linux, mac -> Testing Cog https://ci.lille.inria.fr/pharo/job/Cog-VM%20tests/ (not yet windows)

This allows us to radically simplify the Jenkins setup and trigger actions when *all* plattforms are in a good state.

This will allow us, for example, to automatically update the VM that is used for running builds and tests or that is packaged in the one-click.

TODO -> fix 1.4 so that passing a script to the image works on Windows -> configure to run tests on windows -> One-Click build for 1.4 and 1.3 -> .....

So we are getting somewhere! I am sure that 1.5 will be the first Pharo where we build *the artefact of release* completely automatically and tested from the first change onwards.

And this then forms a strong basis that we can build on top.

Marcus
