2015-02-28 Automated build on Travis for a python module
Many python modules display a small logo
which indicates the build status:
.
I set up the same for the module
pyquickhelper which is held on github/pyquickhelper.
Travis installs packages before building the modules.
The first step is to gather all the dependencies:
pip freeze > requirements.txt
I replaced == by >= and removed some of them, I got:
Cython>=0.20.2 Flask>=0.10.1 Flask-SQLAlchemy>=2.0 Jinja2>=2.7.3 Markdown>=2.4.1 ...
The full file is available at: requirements.txt. Next step is to define which instructions Travis needs to run to get the build done. These steps need to be defined in a file .travis.yml. I followed the instructions: Getting started. For my module, I just run the unit tests on python 3.4:
language: python
python:
- "3.4"
install:
- pip install -r requirements.txt
script:
- python setup.py unittests
- python setup.py build_sphinx
Once the build is over, I could add a link in README.rst:
.. image:: https://travis-ci.com/sdpython/pyquickhelper.svg?branch=master
:target: https://app.travis-ci.com/github/sdpython/pyquickhelper
:alt: Build status
Unfortunately, these settings fail sometimes when others dependencies are needed. Some modules require a fortran compilation and I did not find anything on that subject yet except maybe to use Anaconda distribution on Travis Using Conda with Travis CI (one example I found: .travis.yml).
