Now that Toolbx offers built-in support for Ubuntu containers [1], adding an Ubuntu host to the upstream CI will help ensure that Toolbx continues to work well on Ubuntu. Ubuntu 22.04 is the latest long term support (or LTS) release [2] from Ubuntu, and is the latest Ubuntu version that GitHub provides runners for [3]. Ubuntu 22.04 only has Bats 1.2.1 [4], while Toolbx requires 1.7.0 [5]; and Shadow 4.8 [6], while Toolbx requires 4.9 because it needs libsubid.so [7,8]. Hence, newer versions of these dependencies need to be built to run the tests. The build flags for Shadow were taken from the Debian package [9]. A separate sub-directory inside $GITHUB_WORKSPACE [10] is used for Toolbx itself to prevent codespell from getting triggered by spelling mistakes in these dependencies themselves [11]. Unfortunately, the SHELL environment variable goes mysteriously missing from the runtime environment of the GitHub Actions workflow [12]. This breaks the 'create' and 'enter' commands, and therefore tests involving them can't be run until this is resolved. Meanwhile, running the CI on Ubuntu with a subset of the tests, is still better than not running the CI on Ubuntu at all. [1] Commit |
