Gitlab CI using ROOT

Hello,

I usually do CI/CD using the following .gitlab-ci.yml file:

.gitlab-ci.yml
1.37 KiB
image: alpine
before_script:
- apk update
- apk add git ttf-freefont graphviz
- apk add gcc g++ doxygen cmake make gtest-dev
#- apk add root # <-- I just tried adding this

I need to add root for testing purpose. Is there an easy way to get the last root version installed ?

I also though about loading CVMFS, but what would be your recommendation ?

I don’t know where apk is taking the packages from, and for CVMFS, I’ll let @jblomer give some hints

Thank you for the input. I don’t have personal reason to use alpine and apk.
Would you have maybe some suggestions about the image I could use to make it easier and get an easy access to a precompiled root ?

See the pre-built versions Releases - ROOT and Release 63002 - ROOT

I meant gitlab image. I have difficulties to run have a precompiled root to compile my librairies and run tests

Oh, sorry, I’ll ask if someone knows…

I am sorry if I am overlooking something but some public examples on how to setup a root environment for gitlab ci/cd would actually really be great.

I have tried many combinations but couldn’t get CVMFS working nor conda (but not so much experienced with conda environments and containers) On the other hand, eigen3 and many other scientific packages seem well distributed and easy to include in gitlab-ci is it because it is rather “heavy” package ?

You can use a docker image. See Installing ROOT - ROOT

Here are my two cents contribution !

Is there any chance to add a Gitlab section in this install page of ROOT ? It would have spare me some time :slight_smile: Hope it would be useful for anybody that have the same issue here

image: rootproject/root:latest 

cmvfs:
  stage: build
  script:
    - echo "CERN CVMFS repository"
    - ls -ls /cvmfs/sft.cern.ch/lcg/app/releases/
  tags:
    - cvmfs

root:
  stage: build
  script:
    - echo -ne "ROOT Version "
    - which root
    - echo "ROOT Features"
    - root-config --features

@meyerma could you please see my comments in the PR? I don’t understand the combination of the ROOT docker image and cvmfs.
