This topic gets our tests from passing ~80% with ctest on *nix to passing 100%. See passing CI job for "cmake + ctest" on Ubuntu at: https://github.com/avar/git/actions/runs/3598398023 See https://lore.kernel.org/git/cover-v4-00.14-00000000000-20221103T160255Z-avarab@gmail.com/ for the v4. The v4 of this is in "next", but expected to be ejected & re-queued per [1]. Changes since v4. * Rebased on master. Junio: I think the merge you had for main.yml was a mismerge, i.e. the new job here wanted "ubuntu-latest". Per 0178420b9ca (github-actions: run gcc-8 on ubuntu-20.04 image, 2022-11-25) only the gcc-8 jobs want to pin the version. In practice that merge resolution was harmless, as the job ran just fine on ubuntu-20.04. * Per the discussion starting at [2] this v5 doesn't remove the GIT-BUILD-DIR file, but if we have it and build directory built with "make" we'll prefer the "make" one. This supports the use-case of running the tests discovering the "cmake" build directory using the same mechanism as before, while fixing the edge cases where the two will trip over one another. E.g. a "make git" after a "cmake" still running the tests with the "cmake". * There are other behavior differences to fix what I consider bugs in the existing behavior, but that new behavior is guarded by a "GIT_CTEST_SETS_BUILD_DIR" variable. On Windows it's "ON" by default (the old behavior), elsewhere it's "OFF". As the test suite wasn't close to running succesfully before this the non-Windows users should benefit from the new behavior, but it is different. So Windows users get old semantics, unless they'd like to opt-in. The resulting behavior differences are the following (table taken from 10/15): |---+----+-----| | | ON | OFF | |---+----+-----| | A | N | Y | | B | N | Y | | C | Y | Y | | D | Y | N | | E | N | Y | |---+----+-----| A.
