| Re: [paho-dev] Using travis-ci for GitHub Pull request builds |
Hi James,
This is something I'd be very keen on, it works very well in my experience of other projects.
Another one to consider if possible would be appveyor.com, which gives us the ability to run builds on Windows and even publish build artifacts. In other words, auto built windows binaries plus installers are possible.
Cheers,
Roger
Whilst at EclipseCon NA I've had some very useful conversations with a few people. One of which was about getting Pull Request Builds going with our GitHub Repositories. Apparently there isn't really any issue with using Travis-CI and the Eclipse HIPP infrastructure in combination. This is great news because currently there is no easy way (that I've been able to find) to get Hudson to trigger correctly upon Pull Requests in GitHub, whereas Travis-ci is very commonly used for this.
Here's my idea for how we could split the builds in the Java and Android projects:
- New Pull Requests / Updates to commits in existing Pull Requests: Triggered Travis Build
- Commits into the Master or Develop Branch: Triggered Travis Build
- Nightly builds that generate artifacts: Eclipse Hudson instance (We need to do the artifact builds on the Eclipse Hudson so that we can sign the JAR files and push them to the Nexus & Maven central)
Additionally, at least for the Java components, we are running builds every night regardless of whether there have been any changes to the repository. I'm wondering if it would be better to only trigger a hudson nightly build if there has actually been any changes to the branch?
I've set up a travis build as a test on my fork of this project and have got travis builds working as can be seen here: https://travis-ci.org/jpwsutton/paho.mqtt.java/builds/115184050
Does this sound like a good change? And could it be useful for the other clients as well as Java and Android?
