- ✅ Modular architecture with clear separation of concerns
|
||||
- ✅ SOLID principles applied throughout
|
||||
- ✅ Qt best practices (signals/slots, object hierarchy)
|
||||
- ✅ Modern C++17 features (smart pointers, auto, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
### Code Reviews
|
||||
- ✅ Initial review: 6 issues found
|
||||
- ✅ All issues fixed in second commit
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Improvements from Reviews
|
||||
1. Fixed matrix strategy parsing (now stores actual data structure)
|
||||
2. Qt6 compatibility (QVariant::typeId() instead of deprecated type())
|
||||
3. Performance optimization (reusable WorkflowParser in GUI)
|
||||
4. Configurable timeout constants
|
||||
5. Shell validation in container backend
|
||||
6. Better error messages with file paths
|
||||
7. TODO comments for future enhancements

## Build Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Build (with Conan)
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
conan install . --output-folder=build --build=missing
|
||||
cmake --preset=default
|
||||
cmake --build build
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Manual Build (without Conan)
|
||||
Requires manual installation of Qt6 and yaml-cpp, then:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cmake -B build -G Ninja
|
||||
cmake --build build
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### CLI
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Clone a repository
|
||||
./build/gwt clone https://github.com/user/repo
|
||||
|
||||
# List repositories
|
||||
./build/gwt list
|
||||
|
||||
# Discover workflows
|
||||
./build/gwt workflows /path/to/repo
|
||||
|
||||
# Run a workflow
|
||||
./build/gwt run /path/to/repo /path/to/repo/.github/workflows/ci.yml
|
||||
|
||||
# Run with QEMU
|
||||
./build/gwt run /path/to/repo /path/to/workflow.yml --qemu
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### GUI
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./build/gwt-gui
|
||||
```
|
||||
Then use the GUI to clone, browse, and execute workflows.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Future Enhancements (Out of Scope for v1)
|
||||
|
||||
### Short Term
|
||||
- Workflow validation before execution
|
||||
- Dry-run mode
|
||||
- Step-by-step debugging
|
||||
- Better action resolution (actions/checkout, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
### Long Term
|
||||
- Service container support
|
||||
- Composite actions
|
||||
- Reusable workflows
|
||||
- Remote execution support
|
||||
- Workflow visualization
|
||||
- macOS runner images (if feasible)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Known Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
### By Design (v1)
|
||||
1. No perfect parity with GitHub hosted runners
|
||||
2. Service containers not implemented
|
||||
3. Some third-party actions may not work without modifications
|
||||
4. Network isolation not enforced
|
||||
5. No secrets management
|
||||
6. Limited macOS runner support
|
||||
|
||||
### Technical
|
||||
1. QEMU backend requires pre-built VM images (not provided)
|
||||
2. Container backend requires Docker or Podman installed
|
||||
3. Some workflow features may have partial support
|
||||
4. Matrix expansion limited by available memory
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Maintenance Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Code Organization
|
||||
- Core business logic in `src/core/` and `include/core/`
|
||||
- Execution backends in `src/backends/` and `include/backends/`
|
||||
- User interfaces in `src/cli/`, `src/gui/` and corresponding includes
|
||||
- Clear namespace hierarchy: `gwt::core`, `gwt::backends`, `gwt::cli`, `gwt::gui`
|
||||
|
||||
### Adding New Features
|
||||
1. Core features: Add to appropriate core class
|
||||
2. New backends: Derive from ExecutionBackend
|
||||
3. GUI features: Extend MainWindow or add new widgets
|
||||
4. CLI commands: Extend CommandHandler
|
||||
|
||||
### Testing
|
||||
- Use examples/example-workflow.yml for feature testing
|
||||
- Add more examples for new features
|
||||
- Update documentation accordingly
|
||||
