17:29 <dmbaturin> Anyone had any success with the setu-ocaml GH action on Windows runners? For me it failes to install ocamlfind due to some permission problems: https://github.com/PataphysicalSociety/soupault/actions/runs/14561653038/job/40845723849#step:4:178

17:52 <discocaml> <shon_18152> dmbaturin: Yes, we have used it on some projects. Here's an example of a setup-ocaml based windows CI that I know to be working (modulo some recent instability with cygwin's hosted artifacts): https://github.com/semgrep/semgrep/blob/develop/.github/workflows/build-test-windows-x86.yml

18:01 <discocaml> <yawaramin> working for me too: https://github.com/yawaramin/dream-html/actions/runs/13555044366/job/37887410445

18:08 <dmbaturin> That's interesting. Any ideas where that ocamlfind issue may be coming from?

18:12 <dmbaturin> yawaramin: I see that your action's last run was on Feb 26. Would you mind triggering it to see if it works _now_ or something has changed in the runner that needs a fixup now?

18:15 <dmbaturin> shon_18152: semgrep doesn't seem to depend on ocamlfind so it wouldn't be affected by the problem I'm seeing, unless I'm missing something.

18:20 <dmbaturin> ...I also tried to install using winget, but that fails in a completely mysterious way: https://github.com/PataphysicalSociety/soupault/actions/runs/14561401777/job/40845166859#step:5:196 It did work for me on a hand-deployed Win11 instance, oddly enough.

18:24 <discocaml> <yawaramin> running new build now https://github.com/yawaramin/dream-html/actions/runs/14562181871/job/40846846147

18:32 <dmbaturin> yawaramin: Thanks, let's see how it goes!

18:40 <discocaml> <yawaramin> install: cannot change permissions of 'D:\\a/dream-html/dream-html/_opam/bin': Permission denied

19:49 <discocaml> <yawaramin> still confused why it wants to change the permission. the ways of OCaml tooling on Windows are very mysterious
