Given that we also have cocoa x86_64 in our env, should we still run against macos-12?

@szarnekow we could, but we'd lose the advantage of faster macOS environment in GitHub Actions ;)

True. It would be even faster if we skip all environments, no? Kidding.
Question is: What do we aim for? Short build times or more coverage?

And we would even have less releng/CI troubles! ;)

I see your point. I can also put back the old macOS x86 configuration. We can then decide whether to ditch one if it becomes too flaky

@szarnekow I've updated the PR accordingly. I forgot to mention: the jobs will run in parallel but now we have lots of them, and one more once #2986 is merged. I think Eclipse has been granted more GitHub Actions processing time, is that right @cdietrich ? If it's so, it shouldn't be a big problem having so many jobs. |

@szarnekow @cdietrich macOS x86 in GitHub Actions is getting unusable. Mac 12 is so slow that it almost always fails in building in UI tests. I've just tried Mac 13 but it also fails with "process returned error code 143". I'd switch to macOS Arm, which, as I said above, is as fast as Ubuntu, and seems reliable. |
Closes #3014
macOS arm is much faster than macOS x86, almost as Ubuntu.
