CI documentation

TileDB-Py currently uses two CI services:

• GitHub actions for routine CI
• Azure Pipelines for release packaging

GitHub Actions

Nightly Builds

Azure Pipelines

AZP is configured in azure-pipelines.yml, which points to two pipeline files in misc:

• misc/azure-ci.yml: Legacy CI, to ensure that the release build continue to work.
• misc/azure-release.yml: release build system, which creates Python wheels for PyPI distribution.

Service Connection

In order to create issues after nightly build failure, the AZP nightly pipeline uses a service connection with authorization to post to GitHub.

• Configuration page: https://dev.azure.com/TileDB-Inc/CI/_settings/adminservices
• Connection name: TileDB-Py-Test
• Setup, from services configuration page above:
  • Create a new Personal Access token
    • At present, the repo dispatch token must be linked to an individual user account.
    • Visit: https://github.com/settings/tokens/new
    • Create token with public_repo scope and 1 year expiration (maximum)
  • Visit configuration page linked above
    • Select New Service Connection
    • Select Generic
      • Server URL: https://api.github.com/
      • Password/token:
    • Disable access to all repositories (will require pipeline-specific authorization on first pipeline execution)
  • Save the new connection. Note that the connection name must match the name specified for connectedServieName in misc/azure-release.yml. Note that you
