Setting up continuous integration

[antiagainst]

It would be nice to have a bot to automatically check pull requests to make sure they are not breaking the master branch. Appveyor is quite popular on GitHub as a Windows continuous integration service, and it is already used by vscode. Is it possible to enable Appveyor for this project? Or actually there are other plans for continuous integration?

Thanks for bringing this up.

Right now we have a couple of internal systems that are keeping an eye on things for us, mostly because we have a pretty specific setup right now in terms of OS/hardware/drivers to run the execution tests. Perhaps a starting point would be to simply need to tweak stuff so we post back the results to the pull request threads.

I don't have experience with Appveyor myself, but I can educate myself and have a better-informed opinion. Again, thanks for bringing this up - I'll update this thread with progress.

Hi @marcelolr,

That's good to know. As for Appveyor, if it's OK to enable it for this project, I can contribute the configuration file.

Actually I've already started one, but just experiencing some problems right now.

The problem is that dxgi1_4.h cannot be found during compiling. But it does exist in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.14393.0\shared as printed here. Not clear why yet.

[antiagainst]

Nope, all done for this issue. I'll close it. :)
