Research direction

Read the current CMakeLists.txt first to map its build and testing responsibilities. Define separate processes for building the .rpm and .zip artifacts, running artifact tests in a clean containerized environment, and making both processes available to the CI/CD platform. Done means development tests remain runnable without installation and continuous integration and delivery can run automatically.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently the CMakeLists.txt is a mixed soup of build and testing operations.

A good first step would be: cleanup thing and have separated process for

  • build the .rpm and .zip from source. A docker build should be also available.
  • test the artefacts in a clean environment (i.e. without sources). Testing in a containerized image would be the best.

Some requirements:

  • tests must be available during development without the need to install them
  • CI/CD platform must be allowed to automatically run both the processes for continuous integration and delivery.
