Possible to use current Sage version in travis-ci?

[Simon King]

Hi!

Last week at SageDays100, I got an introduction to travis-ci, and with
help from this list and a lot of duckduckgo-search I now have a version
of my group cohomology software that on github with travis-ci successfully
installs in a Sage docker image.

Problem: It does install, but it wouldn't pass tests in the docker
image, since it uses features that are only in the latest beta.

Question: Is it (reasonably) possible to use a sage beta version in
travis-ci? How?

Best regards,
Simon

Docker images with beta versions of Sage are available:

https://hub.docker.com/r/sagemath/sagemath/tags

so just change the requested image in the travis config file to, for example, "sagemath/sagemath:8.9.beta4".  I don't know if there's a way to simply get the most recently posted image (the tag ":latest" is just a name, and currently seems to be equivalent to ":8.7").

Best,

Usually, the latest beta should be available as sagemath/sagemath:develop at DockerHub. However, for some reason this tag has not been updated in a while, so it still points to 8.8.beta5. See also https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sage-devel/hHWlOluXtos.

It is also possible to use the docker image registry.gitlab.com/sagemath/dev/trac/sagemath:develop from gitlab which is up-to-date with the latest beta. Though, I am not sure whether this is officially supported.

Great, thank you! When applying a patch (from some closed-but-not-merged
ticket) to the latest beta tag then things work fine, which probably means
that in the near future I can say more about my software than "it works
on my laptop" ;-)

Is it possible to automatically go to the latest available tag?

Hi Markus,

apparently our posts crossed.

Indeed it seems that "docker pull sagemath/sagemath-dev:develop" works (note:
sagemath-dev:develop, not sagemath:develop).

Best regards,

"latest" is the latest stable release of SageMath, and "develop" is the latest beta (see also the README at https://hub.docker.com/r/sagemath/sagemath).

Unfortunately, the master/develop branch in GitLab had been unprotected somehow which is why these tags where not updated. I made them protected again, so the tags should update in a few minutes.
