[ci] Add macOS versions to build matrix #278
Conversation
**Why this change was necessary** The GitHub workflows were only testing against `macos-latest`, which still points to macOS 10.15 Catalina[1]. Now that M1 Macs running macOS 11.0 Big Sur have reached consumers, Emacs Plus should also include that OS (and CPU arch) in its CI tests. **What this change does** - Adds macOS 11.0 as an option to the build matrix for every workflow. - Explicitly names macOS 10.15 (Catalina) as an option to the build matrix. - Explicitly sets Xcode 12.2 if the OS version is 11.0, since previous XCode versions cannot build for Big Sur[2]. **Any side-effects?** None. **Additional context/notes/links** [1] https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/reference/specifications-for-github-hosted-runners#supported-runners-and-hardware-resources [2] actions/runner-images#2056

@d12frosted I wonder if it would be useful to also include badges for each macOS version so users will know about OS support at a glance from the README. Unfortunately, matrix builds can't have separate badges yet, so it might involve breaking up the workflows into separate YAMLs for both OS versions. |

Cool, I like it. I remember that at some point of time
No worries regarding force pushes 😸 I will simply cherry-pick commit :) If it would be two commits, I would simply squash them and cherry pick result.
Yes, it would be nice. I also had an idea to show each option combination in the README, but as you say... matrix is not supported by badges. So that's fine as is.
I think this is too much. So let's leave it as is for now. Unless it's possible to have a workflow template that would be reused by per-OS workflows. Going to cherry pick it now anyways as I like how it looks now. |

Cherry picked to master (315f55c). Thank you very much for your contribution 😸 |
I think there might be (see here)... I'll do some tryouts with this on my dotfiles repo - if it works, I'll submit another PR here 😄 |
