During #599 we disabled engine tests to avoid pulling huge container images. Meanwhile the number of components we need integration tests for continues to increase (DBs, Elastic, IPFS, blockchains, etc.) and we need a more scalable solution.
Proposed solution:
- Build tests without running
- Use
nextest arcive to save artifacts
- Spawn a matrix job that:
- Downloads test archive
- Runs different categories of tests on different instances
This approach should allow us to:
- Speed up our CI via parallelism
- Solve disk space issue
- Remove the "Maximize build space" step that takes ~1min
- Restore engine tests in CI
