Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Triggering "Windows Build" job

Hi Ivan

We have a limited number of machines for our build-jobs. Therefore only when we set the merge-request to a semi-done level, buildjobs are triggered. What you can do though, is run your own pipeline, and use our .gitlab-ci.yml file as a template. 

At this point we do not plan on making the builders available to everyone. But if you submit your changes, we can trigger it for you.

Btw, as a Mac & Linux user myself, I keep a virtualbox around just for that purpose. To be able to build Wireshark. It is not required, but certainly helps. Also, building Wireshark on your local Linux machine with a clang compiler instead of gcc, will also identify most issues with the Microsoft VS compilers (as was my experience in the past)

kind regards
Roland

Hi

If I am not wrong, the "Windows Build" job is triggered only after a
maintainer picks up the MR and assigns it to the "Wireshark GitLab
Utility".
Is there any way I can trigger it myself?

Some background.
I don't have a Windows machine to build Wireshark myself.
My last MR (https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/merge_requests/3628)
triggers a warning only in the Windows build.
I **think** to have a fix for it. I could push it, wait for a
maintainer to pick it up again and cross my fingers...
But if I could trigger the Windows test myself it should be less a
bother to anyone.
Can I do that somehow?

I hope I made myself clear
Thanks

Ivan
