This is simple example config for GitHub Actions that compiles debug and release versions of AngelScript on Linux using the clang and gcc compilers

https://github.com/1vanK/angelscript-mirror/blob/master/.github/workflows/main.yml

Do github actually provide the hardware environment to automatically deploy and run the test suite as well? I have my own Windows and Linux environments so I got those covered (though automating the test runs with every commits would be nice). But I would be very interested to have a MacOS env with Apple M1 or M2 to do the automated test runs.

Yes, you can add the step to the config to run the compiled application. For me the easiest way to do this is to add the desired applications to CMakeLists.txt

enable_testing()
add_test(…)
add_test(…)

and run in GitHub Actions config by

ctest --verbose --test-dir build_dir --timeout 60

GitHub environments: https://github.com/actions/runner-images

It looks very promising.

I'll have to find some time to actually sit down and read through everything to see if I can figure out how to set this up.

Given that I have very little time available, don't expect anything soon though. 🙂
