plugdata-testing

A lightweight CI harness that builds plugdata from source with its end-to-end test suite enabled, under AddressSanitizer, across four platform configurations, and reports any failures.

This repo contains only the GitHub Actions workflow — it does not vendor plugdata as a submodule. The workflow clones plugdata fresh on each run.

What it does

The plugdata tests workflow, for each of:

Job	Runner	Notes
Linux-x64	ubuntu-24.04	OpenGL via X11 (headless xvfb)
Linux-arm64	ubuntu-24.04-arm	GLES implementation
macOS	macos-latest	Apple silicon
Windows	windows-2022	clang-cl (for ASAN support)

does the following:

1. Clones the chosen plugdata branch (develop by default) with its submodules (--recurse-submodules --shallow-submodules).
2. Configures & builds the standalone target with -DENABLE_TESTING=1 -DENABLE_ASAN=1 (ccache-accelerated).
3. Runs the standalone. When built with ENABLE_TESTING, plugdata runs its whole unit/integration suite at startup and quits when finished.
4. Checks the result (scripts/run-and-check.sh): the job fails if a sanitizer reports an error, if the JUCE UnitTestRunner prints a failure, or if the run hangs/crashes. The full output is uploaded as a test-output-<job> artifact.
