Continuous integration

Continuous Integration

In order for OpenAlea to work, we need to test the entire build each time a commit is done. To do that we use Continuous Integration (CI) tools :

• GitHub Actions for automated tests on UNIX, MacOS, and Windows systems.

These tools will do automated tests before each commit, and inform us if something is not working.

GitHub Actions:

GitHub Actions allows for CI/CD directly from your GitHub repository. Below is an example configuration file for setting up CI with GitHub Actions, specifically using conda to manage dependencies and build packages.

You can find the github action we use for our packages here:
