v2: specify fixed site name for CDash runs in GitHub Actions#4628
Merged
Conversation
GitHub Actions uses random hostnames for each job runner, causing CDash to register each nightly build under a different site. This breaks the contiguous build history timeline. By explicitly passing `-D site="GitHub-Actions"` in the nightly workflow, CDash can properly group and connect the build history. Additionally, added a warning comment in CTestDashboard.cmake reminding developers to explicitly set the site on ephemeral nodes like SLURM, CI, or VPN laptops.
