gitea/burnin-dummy/build.ps1:
Fake build script to commit to the burnin-dummy repo.
Creates dist\build-info.txt (date, host, pid) after ~30s ping delay.
Invoke-RemoteBuild packages dist\ as artifacts.zip.
Start-BurnInTest.ps1:
Default BuildCommand updated from ping-only delay to build.ps1 invocation.
Run with -NoSkipArtifact to exercise the full artifact pipeline.
In PS 5.1, $(if (...) { '-SkipArtifact' }) inside a call produces the
literal string '-SkipArtifact' bound as a positional argument (-> IPList),
not interpreted as a switch name.
Fixed by building a hashtable and setting SkipArtifact = \True when needed.
PROBLEM: Invoke-RemoteBuild.ps1 was creating a placeholder artifact when the build
produced no dist/ directory. In production this hides build defects (build exits 0
but produces nothing = silent failure treated as success).
SOLUTION: Add explicit -SkipArtifact switch to the call chain:
Invoke-RemoteBuild.ps1:
- Add -SkipArtifact switch. When set: skips packaging entirely (no zip created).
- When absent (production default): missing GuestArtifactSource is a hard error
with a clear message pointing to -SkipArtifact as the opt-in for no-output builds.
Invoke-CIJob.ps1:
- Add -SkipArtifact switch. Passes it to Invoke-RemoteBuild.ps1.
- Phase 6 (Get-BuildArtifacts) is entirely skipped when set; logs 'skipped' event.
Test-CapacityBurnIn.ps1:
- Add -SkipArtifact switch. Adds '-SkipArtifact' flag to each child job argList.
Start-BurnInTest.ps1:
- Always passes -SkipArtifact by default (burn-in uses delay commands, no output).
- Add -NoSkipArtifact override switch for runs that do produce real artifacts.
- Remove -NoSkipArtifact escape from wrapper: default burn-in never needs artifacts.
Invoke-RemoteBuild.ps1: when BuildCommand succeeds (exit 0) but GuestArtifactSource
(default: dist) does not exist, instead of silently skipping packaging, now creates a
placeholder 'build-ok.txt' in the artifact output dir and zips it. This ensures
Get-BuildArtifacts.ps1 always finds artifacts.zip regardless of whether the build
produced real output files. Correct for burn-in, smoke, and delay-only build commands.
Start-BurnInTest.ps1: revert default BuildCommand to 'ping 127.0.0.1 -n 31 > nul'
(~30s delay, no artifact output) now that the pipeline handles missing dist gracefully.
The previous 'if not exist dist mkdir dist' workaround is no longer needed.
'exit 0' left C:\CI\build\dist non-existent -> packaging skipped -> Get-BuildArtifacts
could not find artifacts.zip -> all 4 jobs FAIL at artifact collection phase.
New default: 'if not exist dist mkdir dist & echo burnin_ok > dist\marker.txt'
This creates dist\marker.txt relative to C:\CI\build (GuestWorkDir), so the
packaging step finds it, creates artifacts.zip, and Get-BuildArtifacts succeeds.
Also updated docblock: clarify command runs via cmd /c; replace Start-Sleep example
(PS cmdlet, does not work via WinRM cmd) with ping delay equivalent.
scripts/Test-CapacityBurnIn.ps1 (new): N-way parallel burn-in harness using Start-Job
to launch N concurrent Invoke-CIJob.ps1 child processes for R rounds. After each round
asserts: all VMs destroyed, all jobs got distinct IPs, vm-start.lock gone, ip-leases
empty, wall time recorded. Params: -RepoUrl (mandatory), -IPList = @() (optional,
auto-detects via VMware Tools when empty), -GiteaCredentialTarget = 'GiteaPAT',
-Parallelism = 4, -Rounds = 3, -RoundTimeoutMinutes = 60, plus all Invoke-CIJob params.
scripts/Start-BurnInTest.ps1 (new): lab wrapper with all default params hardcoded
(template F:\CI\Templates\WinBuild2025, credentials BuildVMGuest/GiteaPAT, etc.)
for daily use. Exposes -Rounds, -Parallelism, -BuildCommand, -RoundTimeoutMinutes.
Riscritta gitea/workflow-example.yml per usare la composite action
Simone/local-ci-system/.gitea/actions/local-ci-build@main invece della
chiamata diretta a Invoke-CIJob.ps1.
Commenti inline guidano la personalizzazione per ogni repo:
- build-command e artifact-source (unici campi obbligatori da adattare)
- submodules, repo-url, use-git-clone (opzionali)
- extra-guest-env-json per secret injection (chiavi di firma, GPG)
- artifact-name personalizzato (e.g. con ref_name per tag build)
Aggiunge workflow_dispatch per trigger manuale.
Rimossa logica di orchestrazione inline: zero duplicazione tra repo.
TODO.md: Gitea Workflow Integration chiuso (5/5).
Setup-WinBuild2025.ps1:
- New [switch] \ param (after \)
- Step 12 block wrapped with if (\) { skip-message } else { ... }
- Final gate Tier-2 Assert-Step wrapped with if (-not \)
Prepare-WinBuild2025.ps1:
- New [switch] \ param forwarded to Setup via setupArgs
Validate-SetupState.ps1:
- New [switch] \ param
- \ passed into both remote scriptblocks via -ArgumentList
- Tier-2 Chk calls guarded with if (-not \) in both blocks
- All 3 workflows: pwsh -> powershell (host requires PS 5.1, not Core 7+)
- workflow-example.yml: replace GITHUB_WORKSPACE-relative ciScriptsDir with
hardcoded host path; use SSH alias URL (host-clone mode) instead of HTTP
- docs: add WORKFLOW-AUTHORING.md reference for AI and developers
In PS double-quoted strings, backslash does NOT escape '$'.
Only backtick does ('`$'). The previous '\' was being
expanded as a PS variable (undefined), triggering StrictMode error:
'Cannot retrieve variable \ because it has not been set.'
Replace '\$' with '`$' so the literal shell variable reference
\ is emitted correctly to the SSH command.
