[REQUEST] Automation that Compiles and Uploads to LakeFs

[Lypsolon]

Preamble

Currently building C++ software is fully manual.
This is very time consuming for the developer.

Request

Build an automation that is aware of the project-depending build process in a repo and upload the output to lakeFs.

Specs

• Compile based on given commands/parameters
• Projects that use Ayon-Automator(to be renamed) should use its system to automate the build and tests
• Ensure that changes in the build process dont need the workflow to change (CMake to Bazle)
• Make the Compile output available to the workflow user
• Upload the correct output to lakeFs using a LakeFs commit
• Automatically push the build artifacts main / when a release is created
• Creat new LakeFs branches from GitHub branches and upload load artifcts onto them automatically. (For Testing)

@Lypsolon where can I find the commands currently used to do that?
Just to get a general overview

the ayon cpp api is currently the furthest in temrs of ease of use.

the resolver should have this in the future. but it will need to work a good bit different as it needs to build against the different DCCs and all those DCCs need different ENV variables.

this is a small portion of how my internal build setup works for AyonUsdResolver but we did not yet move this into a Corporate Repo(and the method should change soonTM).

os.environ["COMPILEPLUGIN"] = "AyonUsdLinux/AyonUsd23_5_Py39_Linux"
os.environ["AyonUsdRoot"] = os.path.abspath(os.path.expandvars("$HOME/Documents/GitHub/Lyonh/ayon_usd_files/usd-24.03_linux_py39/24.03/"))

python build.py --DEV=0 --JTRACE=0 --Clean
