+  ubuntu_2204_stable:


Q: CMAKE_VERSION specified for most jobs, except a this and macos_14_brew_packages. Any particular reason for that ?

The setup_cmake* scripts default to cmake 3.31.6 now. The scripts in the main ci.yml workflow also use the default.

I'm not apposed to setting CMAKE_VERSION in every job explicitly if others feel strongly.

The cmake version can be found in the ci logs at two places:

In the install step

Verifying installed versions... cmake version: 3.31.6 detected ctest version: 3.31.6 detected cpack version: 3.31.6 detected

Run test step

-- --------------------------------------------- -- versions -- --------------------------------------------- -- CMake: 3.31.6 -- GTest: 1.16.0 -- benchmark: 1.9.2 -- Abseil: 20240722 -- Protobuf: 29.3.0 -- gRPC: 1.71.0 -- CURL: 8.6.0 -- ZLIB: 1.2.12 -- nlohmann-json: 3.11.3 -- prometheus-cpp: 1.3.0 -- ---------------------------------------------

I don't have a strong opinion on whether the version should be explicitly specified either, but if the version is only being specified on certain jobs due to some technical constraints (like CI fails if we the default cmake version is used), I do think it is worthwhile to document why the version is being explicitly mentioned on those jobs.

This would be helpful in the future if and when we re-visit this file to upgrade or modify the jobs.

I'm not an expert on CMake, so I'll defer the final decision to you though 👍🏻

Thanks for the feedback. I've updated the cmake install test workflow to set the version explicitly for all jobs.

but if the version is only being specified on certain jobs due to some technical constraints (like CI fails if we the default cmake version is used), I do think it is worthwhile to document why the version is being explicitly mentioned on those jobs.

Great point. The only cases I'm aware of where ci fails based on the cmake version is windows with 3.14 (comment added to the CMake Install Test github workflow) and with cmake 4.0.0 (documented in #3334).

…all test job. Add newline to the end of setup_cmake.ps1

…ommend cmake 3.15+ on windows.

LGTM now, thanks.

Suggested change

# Protobuf 3.22+ and depends on abseil-cpp and must be found using the CONFIG

# Protobuf 3.22+ depends on abseil-cpp and must be found using the CONFIG

And what does it mean for "must be found using the CONFIG search mode"? Seems module mode is also tried.

It is referencing the cmake find_package search modes. The module mode is also tried to ensure capability with protobuf packages that don't include the cmake config file (which enables the config search mode). For example the Ubuntu packages for libprotobuf must be found with the module search mode.

Updated the comment to be clear this is the cmake find_package search mode.

+prometheus-cpp/1.2.4


Why is version downgraded here?

Is prometheus 1.2.4 support expected?

Why is version downgraded here?

The conan based install tests have a "latest" and "stable" conanfile in install/conan. The conan file for "latest" includes prometheus-cpp/1.3.0. I downgraded prometheus-cpp version in the "stable" conan file to ensure the previous version was also tested.
