Describe the bug

OSGeo4W Windows tests in CI tests for extensions by fetching extensions for Windows (like r.plus.example) from http://wingrass.fsv.cvut.cz/grass85/addons/grass-8.5.0dev/r.plus.example.zip, which is 404.

To reproduce

https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/actions/runs/9578183044/job/26407881771?pr=3818#step:11:4347

Expected behavior

details about further software components
- run g.version -rge in a GRASS GIS terminal session or check in the GUI menu "Help > About"
- run python3 -c "import sys, wx; print(sys.version); print(wx.version())" to print the Python and wxPython version numbers -->

Additional context

@hellik I think you're a good fit to look this out.

Jun 19 '24 08:06 echoix

We should also ping @landam , as he manages the build server for winGRASS addons.

Wingrass wasn't updated for the switch of main to 8.5dev.

This should also go into the "branching how-to" update (see #2963)

Exactly one month later, here are screenshots showing that tests on windows for extensions still can't be run. It depends on an external server, not managed here by the project, and is left outdated with respect to the development of GRASS. What should we do for the long run? It's not reasonable to rely on something external to us that isn't always available when needed.

@landam any chance to look at it?

In the long run, would some github action an alternative for building addons?

Jul 20 '24 04:07 hellik

For sure, but that location also serves as a repository

Jul 20 '24 10:07 echoix

@landam /@pesekon2 can you please create the directories on the wingrass server?

Fixed by https://github.com/landam/wingrass-maintenance-scripts/commit/af891ce041173ba661d78fee251fa7dae59e27a9. Standalone packages + addons are also published for GRASS 8.5: https://wingrass.fsv.cvut.cz/grass85/

@echox You are absolutely right. Rely on external server with limited access is not a good idea. The server and the maintenance scripts (https://github.com/landam/wingrass-maintenance-scripts) where designed a long time ago because there were no regular Windows builds available at all. It was designed as temporary(!) solution (written quickly, no tests available, only bugfixes, no improvements). We definitely need a new well-designed platform to generate GRASS standalone and addons binaries for MS Windows. It must be reliable and manageable by the community.

Thanks!!

A proof of the saying: there's nothing more permanent than a temporary solution

@echoix The r.plus.example is still not built (such addon doesn't seem to exist). What need to fixed in order to close this issue?

Jul 26 '24 06:07 landam

Maybe it is part of the test suite (either the code or fetching one not available). But in either case, it wasn't the only one that wasn't able to be fetched, and there was really no 8.5 builds too

Jul 26 '24 11:07 echoix

The code is here: scripts/g.extension/testsuite/data/sample_modules/r.plus.example/, i.e.

https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/tree/main/scripts/g.extension/testsuite/data/sample_modules/r.plus.example/

Building it locally with e.g. make MODULE_TOPDIR=~/software/grass84 works at least on Linux.
