This guide covers configuring continuous integration pipelines for Haxe projects. If you’re new to Drone please read our Tutorial and build configuration guides first.

Build and Test

In the below example we demonstrate a pipeline that executes npm install and npm test commands. These commands are executed inside the haxe Docker container, downloaded at runtime from DockerHub.

kind: pipeline
name: default

steps:
- name: test
  image: haxe
  commands:
  - haxelib install build.hxml
  - haxe build.hxml

Please note that you can use any Docker image in your pipeline from any Docker registry. You can use the official haxe images, or your can bring your own.

Test Multiple Versions

You can use Drone’s multi-pipeline feature to concurrently test against multiple versions of Haxe. This is equivalent to matrix capabilities found in other continuous integration systems.

---
kind: pipeline
name: haxe4

steps:
- name: test
  image: haxe:4.0
  commands:
  - haxelib install build.hxml
  - haxe build.hxml

---
kind: pipeline
name: haxe3

steps:
- name: test
  image: haxe:4.0
  commands:
  - haxelib install build.hxml
  - haxe build.hxml

...

If you find this syntax too verbose we recommend using jsonnet. If you are unfamiliar with jsonnet please read our guide.

local Pipeline(name, image) = {
  kind: "pipeline",
  name: name,
  steps: [
    {
      name: "test",
      image: image,
      commands: [
        "haxelib install build.hxml",
        "haxe build.hxml"
      ]
    }
  ]
};

[
  Pipeline("haxe4", "haxe:4.0"),
  Pipeline("haxe3", "haxe:3.0"),
]

Test Multiple Architectures

You can use Drone’s multi-pipeline feature to concurrently test your code on multiple architectures and operating systems.

---
kind: pipeline
name: test-on-amd64

platform:
  arch: amd64

steps:
- name: test
  image: haxe
  commands:
  - haxelib install build.hxml
  - haxe build.hxml

---
kind: pipeline
name: test-on-amd64

platform:
  arch: amd64

steps:
- name: test
  image: haxe
  commands:
  - haxelib install build.hxml
  - haxe build.hxml

---
kind: pipeline
name: test-on-arm64

platform:
  arch: arm64

steps:
- name: test
  image: haxe
  commands:
  - haxelib install build.hxml
  - haxe build.hxml

...
