Have we setup CI for this yet?

[jpsamaroo]

Still have some tests I need to go through and conditionally disable, but basic functionality works.

@vchuravy I'm not really sure what I'm doing here. Does bors run tests on Buildkite, or is it just using a Github CPU runner?

[DilumAluthge]

It does both.

[jpsamaroo]

Oh I see, I didn't notice the statuses before.

Yeah, if you click on the green check or red X for the commit created by bors try, you can see all the statuses.

[jpsamaroo]

@DilumAluthge what am I doing wrong with Pkg.build?

[DilumAluthge]

Looks like it fails because the HSA runtime library is not available on the CPU runners, which makes sense.

[DilumAluthge]

Could you modify AMDGPU.jl so that the build step of AMDGPU does not fail if the HSA runtime library is not found?

[jpsamaroo]

There will be some finalizer errors in the logs for 1.6; these are known issues, and don't affect general functioning.

@vchuravy I think this is ready whenever you and bors are ready.

[bors]

try

Timed out.

[DilumAluthge]

Probably there is a mismatch between bors.toml and the actual status checks.

So Bors is waiting for a status check that doesn't actually exist, so it "times out".

There's some code in https://github.com/JuliaGPU/KernelAbstractions.jl/blob/master/.ci/bin/get-github-status-list.jl that will print out all valid status checks.

[jpsamaroo]

But it was just working earlier today, and I didn't modify bors.toml. Let me try this once more quickly.

Looks like you now need at least Julia 1.6? Maybe change the Julia requirement to 1.6, and run CI on 1.6 and nightly?

The issue with Bors seems to be that e.g. "buildkite/kernelabstractions-dot-jl/julia-v1" was renamed to "buildkite/kernelabstractions-dot-jl/cuda-julia-v1" in the .buildkite/pipeline.yml file without a corresponding update to bors.toml.

It's easy enough to fix - #230

[jpsamaroo]

Sorry about that, and thanks for the catch and fix!

[DilumAluthge]

No worries at all - this is a pretty common enough task with Bors!
