Build pull requests and master branch using Github Actions

Added some basic advanced feature matrixing.

Example run from my repo: https://github.com/udoprog/rhai/actions/runs/182120816 and build status below.

Actually, I would suggest also include all the no_XXX features, each separately. It is a constant pain that some code changes will break some no_XXX feature and not caught.

@schungx I hear you.

So that would result in a lot of build combinations, so would you be OK with only adding build feature combinations on ubuntu-latest and stable?

I would say that's fine because there really isn't any Linux-flavor specifics in the code base. stable only is also OK, except for no_std of course...

And I haven't been diligent to remove warnings on many features. That's show up in screenfuls of warnings during CI.

Do you think I need to put ignore warnings in the code base?

I've added NoStdBuild, which tries to build the no_std project you are working on. I think that's a better test than trying to build the project. Note that these are marked as continue-on-error: true, since it doesn't seem to build on Linux or Windows right now.

I think this works for an initial integration if you feel like merging it. It already provides a lot of value and can be tweaked more later.

since it doesn't seem to build on Linux or Windows right now.

Not sure why not because it builds fine on my Windows box and Linux VM... both release and debug.

@udoprog I have encountered a strange thing. The CI is working well so far...

I just published a new version, and it broke a lot of code. I realize that certain feature flags have errors.

However, it is very strange because those feature flags are tested via CI and they all passed fine with no errors.

I wonder what is happening to cause this...

[schungx]

Looking at the logs, all the tests seem to have the line: running 0 tests

So none of the tests are being run, for some reason...

And strange is that Rhai shouldn't even compile without errors under some flags, yet it did in CI...

Seems like there's a missing $ in the build (should be ${{matrix.flags}}), meaning the variable is not being expanded:

I don't have the time to poke it right now, feel free to give it a shot!
