Recently we re-wrote CI to increase VM level parallelism, in hindsite
this has proved to be not that great because:
- It resulted in approx 180 jobs
- We are on free tier so only get 20 jobs (VMs) at a time so its slow to run
- The UI is annoying to dig through the long job list to find failures
Have another go at organising the jobs with the main aim of shortening
total run time and making it easier to quickly see fails.
Re-write the `run_task.sh` script, notable moving manifest handling
to the workflow. Also don't bother testing with beta toolchain.
WASM Note
Removes the `cdylib` and `rlib` from the manifest patching during wasm
build - I do not know the following:
- Why this breaks on this PR but not on other PRs
- Why I can't get wasm test to run locally on master but PRs are passing
- What the `cdylib` and `rlib` were meant to be doing
This is the docs from: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/linkage.html
* --crate-type=cdylib, #![crate_type = "cdylib"] - A dynamic system
library will be produced. This is used when compiling a dynamic library
to be loaded from another language. This output type will create *.so
files on Linux, *.dylib files on macOS, and *.dll files on Windows.
* --crate-type=rlib, #![crate_type = "rlib"] - A "Rust library" file
will be produced. This is used as an intermediate artifact and can be
thought of as a "static Rust library". These rlib files, unlike
staticlib files, are interpreted by the compiler in future linkage. This
essentially means that rustc will look for metadata in rlib files like
it looks for metadata in dynamic libraries. This form of output is used
to produce statically linked executables as well as staticlib outputs.
