Thanks for giving this a shot!

At the moment it's failing with:

The template is not valid. .github/workflows/test.yml (Line: 38, Col: 18): A sequence was not expected

Moreover, IIRC macos-13 will be retired from GHA.

I'd be fine with removing the combinations that won't possibly work (newer macOS + older emacsen).

However ci/circleci: test-ubuntu-emacs-26 is also failing. I don't know the reason for those ones.

Would be good to run emacs 26 on some or other CI.

Hi @vemv :)

I think it should be fine now. I forgot the matrix/include section does not accept arrays, thus I had to repeat the entries twice, and due to economy of space I've only included java version=11, let me know if you want me to add two more entries for java=17 to get it inline with the rest.

Let me know what you think we should do. I'm fine supporting it as long as it is around.

👍 , just a note, this is a limitation of nix-emacs-ci, not a hard limit. If we try really hard enough we might be able to get older versions (but can't see the merit of it).

This is due to this commit 8b2ef5f #3661 , unrelated to this patch.

max-mini-window-lines was introduced in v28 I think, thus the failures on earlier versions.

Mmm, we should have it as there's some JVM-level testing. Another PR welcome.

So arm macs can run older emacsen? That would seem worth looking into. No rush atm.

(the merit being to support our very diverse user base)

The incident seems to support the choice of using both GHA and CCI - the redundancy keeps us (more-or-less) isolated from churn.

This is due to this commit 8b2ef5f #3661 , unrelated to this patch.

Well spotted, thanks!

@alexander-yakushev , could you please take a look at the small breakage?
