Add conda container driven tests
Loading
Maintenance will be performed on git.ligo.org, containers.ligo.org, and docs.ligo.org on Tuesday 22 April 2025 starting at approximately 9am PDT. It is expected to take around 30 minutes and there will be several periods of downtime throughout the maintenance. Please address any comments, concerns, or questions to the helpdesk. This maintenance will be upgrading the GitLab database in order to be ready for the migration.
This MR adds parallel set of tests in build suite that run in a conda container (as opposed to el7)
Presently, the developer environment uses conda-flow
to create locked python env files. This workflow has superior reproducibility to the yum-based python environment install in the el7 containers that drive the test suite and production usage. In an effort to minimize diffs between dev and prod envs, this mr adds a full conda container that could be run in production. Caveat: MKL integration is going to be a separate MR.
