Topic: ci job for the refman

What should I type exactly in order to reproduce locally a failure in the ci job for the refman?
I did something like ./configure; make coq; make install; make refman... and it did work :-/

I don't think you're supposed to make install
no idea if it can turn a failure into a success though

view this post on Zulip Gaëtan Gilbert (Dec 02 2021 at 16:46):

if the problem is only when building the refman using an installed coq you need

./configure -prefix $somewhere
make world
make install
make SPHINXENV='COQBIN="'"$somewhere"'/bin/"' SPHINX_DEPS= refman

If the Dune build of the refman fails as well, then use Dune.

I think only one job fails, the one using makefile.doc, https://github.com/coq/coq/pull/15220 /checks?check_run_id=4398000475

Yes, I confirm the dune-pdf job works, it is the other one which fails with

In a way I was hoping to find a ci-refman target to reproduce locally the failure.
I'll try again, but last time here it worked :-/

The ci- targets are only for external projects.

and it works again :-(
it has been failing since the beginning of the PR I'm afraid

I did use the commands @Gaëtan Gilbert wrote up there

Are you saying that it consistently works on your machine but that it consistently fails in CI?

view this post on Zulip Enrico Tassi (Dec 03 2021 at 09:39):

yes, but I have one last thing to try

view this post on Zulip Enrico Tassi (Dec 03 2021 at 09:45):

nope... I'm out of ideas

view this post on Zulip Enrico Tassi (Dec 03 2021 at 09:45):

the log says there is a longer log, maybe I should save it as an artifact? would that help? (I've never looked in that log)

view this post on Zulip Enrico Tassi (Dec 03 2021 at 09:47):

I'll try a blind commit, but that looks like the very last idea I have

view this post on Zulip Théo Zimmermann (Dec 03 2021 at 09:49):

I don't recall having a look at it, but sure, that could help.

I think I understood what the 'last 100 characters' are about (it's the error message I wanted to read, spit by coqc).
The dune job works because dune sets OCAMLPATH correctly, but this hybrid make/dune does not... So try to hack SPHINXENV, let's see

So, I did hack a few lines in gitlab-ci to save the artifact even if the job fails, and it tries, but fails:

I guess the whildcard does not do what I think. Any GL-ci expert?

https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/#artifactspaths

Paths are relative to the project directory ($CI_PROJECT_DIR) and can’t directly link outside it.

you need to do make || { cp /tmp/*.log . && false; } then put the copied log in the artifacts path

Nix job in GitLab CI does:

    # Use current worktree as tmpdir to allow exporting artifacts in case of failure
