Add Matrix Build Support to Travis-CI Integration

[marcialvieira]

Fix for #1233

[oxarbitrage]

Hey @marcialvieira thank you for submitting this.

I am unsure if we can use it with our current limitation of 50 minutes max in travis. We are in the process of merging #1417 that will speed up a bit but probably not enough to make the build for 2 Operation Systems as this pull attempt to do.

Still, i am considering and discussing with the team a possible upgrade in travis to a paid plan that will allow unlimited build time.

Hi, thanks for replying, maybe some modifications can also be made to reduce compilation time, increasing the number of jobs (I mean -j), but this will increase memory usage and may abort because of that, change from Debug to Release, so debug symbols don't be added, add some parameters like -pipe or switch compiler, to clang for example.

Please rebase on latest develop.
The osx build has failed, please check.

[marcialvieira]

Working on it.

Job aborted for time limit during the test, but reading the logs I'm convinced that everything is fine marcialvieira/bitshares-core

Test setup error: boost::runtime::access_to_missing_argument: There is no argument provided for parameter color_output

This does not look good. Possible cause: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39171467/there-is-no-argument-provided-for-parameter-color-output-with-boost-test-and-cte

Can you reproduce this locally? @jmjatlanta did you ever see that?

Maybe need to add code like this to tests/CMakeLists.txt: https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-fc/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt#L411-L417

[jmjatlanta]

I have not seen that before. I will attempt to recreate it on my mac.

Update I compiled and ran chain_test on my mac with no errors. I then noticed the travis script is using gnu parallel. I re-ran it using parallel, but am still unable to reproduce the error.

[pmconrad]

Perhaps it depends on boost version?

[marcialvieira]

Yeah, looking into it.

[marcialvieira]

Giving a try without installing [email protected], using the default travis-ci image (boost 1.67.0_1) since @jmjatlanta told me that he successfully built using 1.68 on his mac.

Update same problem, now testing defining BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK in tests/CMakeLists.txt as @pmconrad said.

Update still the same, but now I have been able to reproduce locally.

Obsolete by #2062 and following changes. Our main CI process is now on Github Actions.
