Add build and PR validation workflow to build the dev container #8013
Open
Description
Area for Improvement
The dev container is our standardized engineering environment. It is subject to dependabot upgrades, changes to platform dependencies, and configuration changes due to evolving software development needs. We therefore need an automated PR validation build and a weekly scheduled build to ensure that the container continues to function as expected.
Observed behavior
Currently, the dev container is tested manually by running a local dev container build.
Desired behavior
We need a dev container build workflow that validates that the dev container can be built and that it functions as expected.
Proposed Fix
The dev container build should do the following using the devcontainer
CLI:
- Build the container image.
- Launch the container.
- Run a representative
MAKE
command within the container, e.g.make build lint
to act as a validation test.
