Building patched version of Flutter-CI
lloydrichards opened this issue · comments
greetings! i'm working on an issue with the Flutter team to improve performance for testing in a CI environment.
We need to test a patched version of Flutter that they're working on but building a Docker Image for CI is a bit out of scope. Would someone be able to help us out so we can benchmark and improve both Flutter and the Flutter-CI image 🙏
To reduce cross-posting I think it would be better to just comment on the flutter issue and close this one if you would like to help :)
You can try to modify the git command to checkout your changes. Then you can build the image locally and push it to some registry to consume from GitLab.
This is where my knowledge of Docker starts to drop off. So I've cloned the repo and added in my commands to where you specified. But I don't know how to build this into a container for the registry. i can run it locally with docker run --rm -it -v ${PWD}:/build --workdir /build cirrusci/flutter:stable flutter test but docker build . just give me an error
You can build your own tag via command like docker build --tag my-docker-image-url:latest sdk. Then you can push your image to your registry and reuse it.
Another option might be to use cirrusci/android-sdk:30 image in your CI and duplicate logic of configuring Flutter SDK as the first step of your CI.
thanks so much. i ended up doing something similar to the cirrusci/android-sdk:30 image in test CI for now while we debug with flutter :)
