We refactor our continuous integration workflow with the following goals in mind:
- Run as few jobs as possible
- Have the jobs finish as fast as possible
- Have the jobs redo as little work as possible
There are only so many jobs that GitHub Actions will run in parallel.
Thus, it makes sense to not create massive matrices but instead group
things together meaningfully.
The new `test` job will:
- Run once for each crate
- Ensure that the crate compiles on its specified MSRV
- Ensure that the tests pass
- Ensure that there are no semver violations
This is an improvement to before because we are running all of these
in parallel which speeds up execution and highlights more errors at
once. Previously, tests run later in the pipeline would not get run
at all until you make sure the "first" one passes.
We also previously did not verify the MSRV of each crate, making the
setting in the `Cargo.toml` rather pointless.
The new `cross` job supersedes the existing `wasm` job.
This is an improvement because we now also compile the crate for
windows and MacOS. Something that wasn't checked before.
We assume that checking MSRV and the tests under Linux is good enough.
Hence, this job only checks for compile-errors.
The new `feature_matrix` ensures we compile correctly with certain feature combinations.
`libp2p` exposes a fair few feature-flags. Some of the combinations
are worth checking independently. For the moment, this concerns only
the executor related transports together with the executor flags but
this list can easily be extended.
The new `clippy` job runs for `stable` and `beta` rust.
Clippy gets continuously extended with new lints. Up until now, we would only
learn about those as soon as a new version of Rust is released and CI would
run the new lints. This leads to unrelated failures in CI. Running clippy on with `beta`
Rust gives us a heads-up of 6 weeks before these lints land on stable.
Fixes#2951.
A `ProtocolsHandler`, now `ConnectionHandler`, handels a connection, not
a protocol. Thus the name `CONNECTIONHandler` is more appropriate.
Next to the rename of `ProtocolsHandler` this commit renames the `mod
protocols_handler` to `mod handler`. Finally all combinators (e.g.
`ProtocolsHandlerSelect`) are renamed appropriately.
