Add example on how to use matrix with env vars

[bartekpacia]

took me too long to figure this out

Hmm, I also expected this to generate 4 tasks, but it generates 16:

blah_task:
  name: Build
  container:
    image: alpine:3.20
  env:
    # Android Command-line tools were obtained with https://stackoverflow.com/a/78890086/7009800
    matrix:
      ANDROID_CLT_VERSION: 9123335 # v8, latest compatible with JDK 8+
      JDK_PACKAGE: openjdk-8-jdk
    matrix:
      ANDROID_CLT_VERSION: 9862592 # v10, latest compatible with JDK 11+
      JDK_PACKAGE: openjdk-11-jdk
    matrix:
      ANDROID_CLT_VERSION: 11479570 # v13, latest compatible with JDK 17+
      JDK_PACKAGE: openjdk-17-jdk
    matrix:
      ANDROID_CLT_VERSION: 11479570 # v13, latest compatible with JDK 17+
      JDK_PACKAGE: openjdk-21-jdk
  info_script:
    - echo "Building Android SDK with Android Command-line tools $ANDROID_CLT_VERSION and JDK $JDK_PACKAGE"

There's an easy workaround in this case though

workaround

blah_task:
  name: Build
  container:
    image: alpine:3.20
  env:
    # Android Command-line tools were obtained with https://stackoverflow.com/a/78890086/7009800
    matrix:
      # v8, latest compatible with JDK 8+
      ANDROID_AND_JDK: 9123335:openjdk-8-jdk

      # v10, latest compatible with JDK 11+
      ANDROID_AND_JDK: 9862592:openjdk-11-jdk

      # v13, latest compatible with JDK 17+
      ANDROID_AND_JDK: 11479570:openjdk-17-jdk

      # v13, latest compatible with JDK 17+
      ANDROID_AND_JDK: 11479570:openjdk-21-jdk
  export_env_vars_script:
    - export ANDROID_CLT_VERSION="$(echo $ANDROID_AND_JDK | cut -d ':' -f1)"
    - export JDK_PACKAGE="$(echo $ANDROID_AND_JDK | cut -d ':' -f2)"
    - echo "ANDROID_CLT_VERSION=$ANDROID_CLT_VERSION" >> $CIRRUS_ENV
    - echo "JDK_PACKAGE=$JDK_PACKAGE" >> $CIRRUS_ENV
  info_script:
    - echo "Building Android SDK with Android Command-line tools $ANDROID_CLT_VERSION and JDK $JDK_PACKAGE"

This should work:

blah_task:
  name: Build
  container:
    image: alpine:3.20
  env:
    # Android Command-line tools were obtained with https://stackoverflow.com/a/78890086/7009800
    matrix:
      - ANDROID_CLT_VERSION: 9123335 # v8, latest compatible with JDK 8+
        JDK_PACKAGE: openjdk-8-jdk
      - ANDROID_CLT_VERSION: 9862592 # v10, latest compatible with JDK 11+
        JDK_PACKAGE: openjdk-11-jdk
      - ANDROID_CLT_VERSION: 11479570 # v13, latest compatible with JDK 17+
        JDK_PACKAGE: openjdk-17-jdk
      - ANDROID_CLT_VERSION: 11479570 # v13, latest compatible with JDK 17+
        JDK_PACKAGE: openjdk-21-jdk
  info_script:
    - echo "Building Android SDK with Android Command-line tools $ANDROID_CLT_VERSION and JDK $JDK_PACKAGE"

Regarding the PR itself, perhaps it should use this syntax too.

See #1288 (comment).

[bartekpacia]

I think the current way is better to generate 6 tasks - less duplication is involved.

I added another example to make it clear that matrix env vars can be also configured on a fine-grained level, just like you showed in #1288 (comment)

[edigaryev]

It seems that the "Spell Check" is failing because granularly is not present in .spelling.

[bartekpacia]

Thanks, fixed.

btw, it seems that the tool used for spellchecking hasn't seen a commit to master in ~4 years, and the latest version is ~7 years old.
