We have tests that are failing in some environments, but it's
difficult to handle them because:
- for some environments we just allow all the tests to fail: DANGEROUS
- when we don't allow failures we have flacky tests: A CI pain
So, to avoid this and ensure that:
- New failing tests are tracked in all platforms
- gitlab integration on tests reports is working
- coverage is reported also for failing tests
Add support for `can_fail` keyword on tests that would mark the test as
part of the `failing` test suite.
Not adding the suite directly when defining the tests as this is
definitely simpler and allows to define conditions more clearly (see next
commits).
Now, add a default test setup that does not run the failing and flaky tests
by default (not to bother distributors with testing well-known issues) and
eventually run all the tests in CI:
- Non-flaky tests cannot fail in all platforms
- Failing and Flaky tests can fail
In both cases we save the test reports so that gitlab integration is
preserved.
I haven’t tested any of them. This is entirely mechanical. I used
shellcheck 0.7.0 with default options.

Add a separate CI job which runs memcheck on the unit tests. This is
done as a separate job from the main build, since we don’t want it to
interact with code coverage at all.
Currently, failure of this job is ignored. Issue #333 will eventually
fix that.

GitLab can show the results of a CI pipeline if the pipeline generates a
report using the JUnit XML format.
Since Meson provides a machine parseable output for `meson test`, we can
take that and turn it into XML soup.
