Worked on stabilizing the build and test process for the NREL/EnergyPlus repository by addressing issues related to Fortran integration in the CMake-based build system. Implemented a temporary workaround that disables simulation tests dependent on ExpandObjects when the BUILD_FORTRAN option is not enabled, thereby reducing continuous integration flakiness and maintaining build integrity across different configurations. The approach involved modifying CMake configuration files and documenting the temporary nature of the change, with plans to revert once the underlying GitHub issue is resolved. Focused on build system configuration and testing, leveraging expertise in CMake and continuous integration workflows to ensure project stability.
