CI Flow does not work for Dockerfile changes about dpsim

[georgii-tishenin]

Hi, @n-eiling, I am pretty new to this topic and have not yet made any changes to the dockerfiles. Do you already have some ideas to improve on testing the changes of the Dockerfile? E.g., can the dev container build be automated?

[n-eiling]

yes, but afaik it was removed because it took too long. The only solution I see is moving to self hosted runners.
Or define a workflow for Dockerfile changes that avoids this.

As @n-eiling mentioned, we already had this automated but building the container images in the ci takes forever since we only use free resources in GitHub. So currently, the docker build job is triggered manually in the actions menu.
