It turned out that the CI steps incorrectly returns
success
. Runningbuild.cmd
in a default CI Github workflow leads to the%ERRORLEVEL%
being swallowed, which is a result of the default shell on Windows being PowerShell Core. See https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idstepsshell for more info.Solution: use
shell: cmd
in the steps that require proper handling of Windows command scripts.Also, see this SO question.
Before rewriting the history in this PR, there were numerous attempts at fixing this, using a deliberately failing (compile error) build, which kept showing up as green (success). Squashed all those bits for readability.
