Lukas Brübach 6f3297a4a0 [CI] Size compiler caches for one configuration and split the Fedora leg
The bounds in #7667 were set below what one build configuration writes, so
ccache filled to its limit and evicted the entries the next build was about to
ask for. The probe measured what that costs: a 6G cache on one leg served 1059
of 1059 calls and the 700M bound on the same leg served 14%. The quota also
went to legs that finish under the Windows leg, which has no compiler cache.

Debug information is most of an object's size. A measured Arch Debug
configuration is 1.2 GB with the built-in flags and 660 MB at -g1; Debian 13
Release is 1.1 GB and 614 MB. CI therefore builds every non-tag leg at level 1
through a new COCKATRICE_DEBUG_INFO_LEVEL option, which stays empty by default
so local, distro and release builds are unchanged. Level 1 keeps file and line,
which is what a failing test or a sanitizer backtrace reports. Tags and the
nightly legs keep full DWARF for the Sentry symbols.

With one configuration at half the size, the quota goes to fewer legs at a size
that holds one whole configuration, and the legs that duplicate another leg's
coverage give their cache up: Servatrice, Ubuntu 26.04 behind the sanitize leg
of the same distro, macOS 15 and macOS 26 Debug behind macOS 14. Their keys
leave LIVE_CCACHE_KEYS, so prune-caches reclaims the existing entries.

Fedora 44 built Debug for the suite and Release for the package in one job, so
the package compile queued behind the debug one and the leg took 30.8 min - the
only leg above Windows - while one 1.6 GB cache held two configurations. It is
split into two legs with one cache each, running in parallel.

The option reaches compile.sh inside the container through docker.sh, and
compile.sh turns it into the CMake flag.

Bounds: Arch 850M, Debian 13 800M, Fedora 44 debug 850M and release 800M,
Ubuntu 26.04 sanitize 1200M, macOS 14 800M. That is 5.3 GB of compiler cache
on top of roughly 4.5 GB of buildkit, vcpkg, Qt and CodeQL entries.

Windows still sets the pull-request wall clock: 29.5 min, 23.7 of it compiling
with no compiler cache, because ccache and sccache cannot store the 711 of 1054
translation units that use PCH under MSVC (#7381). That is a separate trial.

Cockatrice

Cockatrice is an open-source, multiplatform application for playing tabletop card games over a network. The program's server design prevents users from manipulating the game for unfair advantage. The client also provides a single-player mode, which allows users to brew while offline.

This project uses C++ and the Qt libraries.

Code

To commit code to the project, please review our Contribution Guidelines first.
We maintain two tags for contributors to easier find issues to potentially work on:

  • Good first issue
    Issues tagged in this way provide a simple way to get started. They don't require much experience to be worked on.
  • Help wanted
    This tag is used for issues that we are looking for somebody to pick up. Often this is for feature suggestions we support, but don't have the time to work on ourselves.

For both tags, we're willing to provide help to contributors in showing them where and how they can make changes, as well as code reviews for submitted changes.
We'll happily advice on how best to implement a feature, or we can show you where the codebase is doing something similar before you get too far along - put a note on an issue you want to discuss more on!

You can also have a look at our Todo List in our Code Documentation or search the repo for \todo comments.

Documentation CI Docs

There are various places where useful information for different needs are maintained:

Cockatrice tries to use the Google Developer Documentation Style Guide to ensure consistent documentation.
We encourage everybody to improve the documentation by suggesting edits based on this guide.

Translation Transifex Project

Cockatrice uses Transifex to manage translations. You can help us bring Cockatrice and Oracle to your language and just adjust single wordings right from within your browser by visiting our Transifex project page. The Webatrice web client manages its own translations in its repo.

Check out our Translator FAQ for more information about getting involved, and join a group of hundreds of others!

Build CI Desktop CI Docker

Dependencies: (for minimum versions search our CMake file)

Oracle can optionally use some packages to load compressed card files:


Basic compilation steps:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

You can then

  • Create a Cockatrice installation inside the release folder:
    make install
    
  • Or make an installation package specific to your system:
    make package
    

Note

Detailed compiling instructions can be found in the Cockatrice wiki at Compiling Cockatrice


The following flags (with their non-default values) can be passed to cmake:

Flag Description
-DWITH_SERVER=1 Build Servatrice server
-DWITH_CLIENT=0 Don't build Cockatrice client
-DWITH_ORACLE=0 Don't build Oracle card database tool
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug Compile in debug mode
Enables extra logging output, debug symbols, and much more verbose compiler warnings
-DWARNING_AS_ERROR=0 Don't treat compilation warnings as errors in debug mode
-DUPDATE_TRANSLATIONS=1 Configure make to update the translation .ts files for new strings in the source code
Note: make clean will remove the .ts files
-DTEST=1 Enable regression tests
Note: make test to run tests, googletest will be downloaded if not available

Tip

Build code documentation (Doxygen) according to our configuration into /docs:

doxygen Doxyfile

Run

Cockatrice is the game client
Oracle fetches card data
Servatrice is the server

Docker

You can build an image & deploy a Servatrice (Cockatrice server) container using Docker and our Dockerfile yourself.

For more details, look into our wiki section on Setting up Servatrice.
You'll also find more hints on our pre-build image there, or the docker-compose file which will configure and run both a MySQL server and Servatrice.
