If the cache file is not removed, CMake will not reset configurations
back to their default values. In order to make the tests independent, it
is simplest to purge the cache. Unfortunatly, this will slow down the
tests a little and repeat some checks.
This script is only meant to be run as part of the CI build/test process
on machines that are known to have bash (Ubuntu and MacOS). If this
assumption changes in the future, then the bash specific commands will
need to be replaced with a more portable option. For now, it is
convenient to use bash commands.
The new PHASE argument can be build, test, or all. all is the default.
This way, the CI/CD script can differentiate between the build and test
phases to make it easier to track down errors when they happen.
The CI/CD workflow will only execute on Ubuntu and MacOS latest version.
The workflow will attempt to build with autotools and CMake and execute
the tests. The workflow will run for all pull requests and pushes done
to the master branch.
