Travis Build¶
We’ve dedicated an entire document to Travis builds as we’ve experienced a myriad of different issues with them. What follows is a guide on how to provision a Docker container to run a Travis build. The point of this would be try to reproduce a build problem that appears on Travis but not on local.
Step 1: Docker¶
You will need to install Docker. You can get it here .
Once you have Docker, you’ll need to get the runner image. You can get it by running the below command.:
$ docker run --privileged --name travis-debu -it -u travis travisci/ci-amethyst:packer-1512508255-986baf0 /bin/bash -l
The above command should open a session in the container. If not, start the container and connect to it. After, install the travis-build
tool:
$ cd ~
$ mkdir .travis
$ cd ./travis/
$ git clone https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-build.git
$ cd travis-build
$ gem install travis
$ bundle install
$ bundle add travis
$ bundle binstubs travis
Step 2: Get Source¶
Once the container is ready to go, you need to install the source code. Clone whichever project you are working on, in this case Snovault and run:
$ cd snovault
$ ~/.travis/travis-build/bin/travis compile > ci.sh
Once you have ci.sh
you need to modify the travis_cmd git clone
command to checkout the branch you’d like to test.
Step 3: Run¶
Now that you have ci.sh
and have checked out the appropriate branch, you can now run the script:
$ bash ci.sh
You can also run it verbosely with:
$ bash -x ci.sh
Done, this will execute your Travis build.
