CI: macOS: install and run tests using runner beta
Try to run out test suite on macOS using the new Gitlab CI Runner beta...
TODO
-
get as far as pip install .
-
brew is very slow, 15 mins maybe on macOS 11, report upstream?-
pretty sloe on 12 as well, got it a bit faster with various env vars
-
-
currently missing latex, no idea how to install that.-
two options with brew: -
brew install mactex-no-gui
: very slow, CI job took 40 mins, -
brew install basictex
, faster - both are missing "latexmk"
-
-
how to install latexmk? -
is there some alternative way to install tex on mac? - I see stuff on internetz about "brew cask" and "--cask" and whatnot: is all that ancient
or still relevant? - probably, but not from command-line.

-
update docs/macos_installation.md
: at least it doesn't cover latex and I doubtpip install tex
is the way to install latex on a mac!
-
-
brew install zbar
is slow- 3 or 4 mins? not that bad, has a lot of deps.
-
set this to run-manually rather than on every commit. Its about 30 min job, even with "basictex" -
maybe fedora should be same
