#14508: Bring up Appveyor for Windows CI -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: bgamari Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Continuous | Version: 8.2.1 Integration | Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Description changed by bgamari: Old description:
The current plan is to move to Appveyor for CI on Windows.
Mateusz has a first [[https://github.com/tweag/ghc/blob/tweag/circleci- macos/appveyor.yml|stab]] at a configuration. Unfortunately it looks like we will far-exceed the one-hour default build time limit. It appears they Appveyor [[https://github.com/appveyor/ci/issues/517 |does give]] extensions to open-source projects, but typically only extend to 1.5 hours. It's unlikely that this will be sufficient as even my local Windows builds take ~1.75 hours.
It appears that Rust has found a way around this as their [[https://ci.appveyor.com/project/rust-lang/rust/history|builds]] routinely last ~2 hours.
