Continuous Integration on Ubuntu, macOS and Windows

[luau-project]

Description

Implements continuous integration (CI) to build LuaSec (on push and pull requests) on Ubuntu, macOS and Windows (x64 architecture) using multiple Lua versions and interpreters:

• PUC-Rio Lua:
  • 5.1
  • 5.2
  • 5.3
  • 5.4
• LuaJIT
• OpenResty

Note

On Windows, we build LuaSec using both MSVC and MinGW-w64 toolchains.

Important

On each platform (Ubuntu, macOS and Windows), the process to build OpenSSL from source code usually takes a lot of time (> 20 minutes). For this reason, we:

• install OpenSSL from the distro repositories on Ubuntu
• install OpenSSL from homebrew on macOS
• use OpenSSL binaries already installed in the machine on Windows when using the MSVC toolchain
• use OpenSSL binaries provided by MSYS2 on Windows when using the MinGW-w64 toolchains (gcc and clang) from MSYS2

Changes

• added a development rockspec named luasec-dev-1.rockspec, mirrored from luasec-1.3.2-1.rockspec, used to drive the build on CI;
• added a new workflow .github/workflows/test.yaml such that:
  • the test job is used to build LuaSec employing the Lua versions described above on Ubuntu, macOS and Windows (MSVC only);
  • the test-MinGW-w64 job is used to build LuaSec employing the Lua versions described above on Windows (MinGW-w64 only), using either gcc or clang.

PS

In the future, in case you need any help to update the proposed workflow whenever it stops working, just mention me using @
