TravisCI Mac builds no longer free

[ja2-derek]

Heads up to the new TravisCI pricing model. I understand they no longer run Mac builds for free.

Maybe we should look at building nightly with GitHub action again

Appears so, let's migrate.

I believe the easiest way is to make the nightly push with a Personal Access Token (see also #873 (comment)). To proceed, I need an org admin to add the tokens as encrypted secrets:

1. Personal Access Token from any user with repo write access (maybe @madlab-bot ?). This token is used to push nightly branch, or directly run the workflow via GitHub API if push still doesn't work.

2. Coverity scan token. We can migrate the coverity build into another scheduled GitHub Action. Something like this.

A Coverity scan was successfully submitted earlier today (build). But the Coverity dashboard is still not updated, and the badge still says "Coverity Failed".

Are you able to get any further information from Coverity side?

You should have the same access, but anyway, it says the last ok build was in october and anything later failed due to compilation errors:

Last Build Status: Failed. Your build has failed due to the following reason. Please fix the error and upload the build again.

Error details: 
invalid literal for int() with base 10: "tail: cannot open '/opt/workspace/ja2-stracciatella_ja2-stracciatella/cov-int/build-log.txt' for reading: No such file or directory

Like the results weren't successfully submitted, even though the upload was fine.

That explains it. Thank you.

But where do you get that error details?

[lynxlynxlynx]

Top of the page:

Nothing for me. Probably admin-only.

There are only the Coverity Scan badge and then the heading "Analysis Metrics".

Now that it's fixed for sure. I've upped your privilege level, so if it ever happens again, you'll hopefully see it.
