847692 - Use travis-ci as an integration test server for mozbase

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: Mozbase, defect)

Description

[William Lachance (:wlach)]

I've been experimenting with travis-ci with my fork of mozbase, and have been seeing good results. It's pretty easy to set up with github (just add a .travis.yml file to your repo and setup a service hook), so might make a good replacement for autobot unless/until we can get that working again.

Example: https://travis-ci.org/wlach/mozbase

Configuration file so travis-ci can integrate-test mozbase

The one downside of travis-ci is that irc notifications to irc.mozilla.org don't seem to work at the moment (https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/436). Hopefully that will be fixed someday...

I'm not really of a station to be able to review this.  :jgriffin, mind taking a look?

The one thing that I will note is that IMHO email notifications should go to the public list since it is a public-facing project.

I agree that posting to a public list would be nice, but I'm not sure how to subscribe the travis email robot to [e-mail]. I'll look into it for later.

Please do not post to the tools list. Subcribers could be annoyed about those emails. I would suggest we create a new public list for CI test results instead.

I really get annoyed at policy discussion in bugs.  

Since in theory the mails should get to the guilty parties anyway, do we need a mailing list?  Its 2013 and emailing list software == depend on big brother google, so i'm not particularly excited about making mailing lists anyway.

For now [e-mail] should reach all the active maintainers/committers of mozbase. Maybe it's best to just leave things as they are for now, and revisit if things change (much like the decision to use travis-ci at all).
