Call for action - a CI server
aslak hellesoy
Since RunCodeRun is no longer operative we don't have CI anymore. The
ecosystem is growing (gherkin, cucumber, cucumber-rails, cuke4duke,
cuke4nuke) and we need to support more platforms (MRI 1.8.6, 1.8.7,
1.9.1, 1.9.2, JRuby, Rubinius, IronRuby - on mono at least - etc etc).
Does anyone have some spare hardware and time to set up a Hudson
server? Here is a nice article about how the ThoughtBot people are
doing it.

We can start simple, then scale up with more combos as we see the need.
Any takers?
Cheers,

up the server.. Sorry for not doing this sooner as I talked about on
IRC, but I have worked on the needed chef cookbooks to bootstrap a
machine for this. (http://github.com/bmabey/continuous-cooking) The
cookbooks sets up Hudson, RVM, and nginx.
The only issue is hardware. My company, LeadTune, may be willing to
sponsor a rackspace cloud instance but I'm sill waiting to hear if that
is an option. I'll know in a day or so. Otherwise, if another company
is willing to sponsor something and give me access I can run the
cookbooks on it.

that fund can be used to pay for the instance? Then allow any
person/company to donate to support the fund in return for being listed
as a sponsor?

p.s. I'm copying the rest of the list in on this in case there might be
some other interest.

My Name is Roman, I'm a member of RubyMine team and author or Rake/
Cucumber/RSpec/TestUnit/Shoulda support in our TeamCity CI (http://
www.jetbrains.com/teamcity). In addition to Ruby TeamCity also
supports Java and .NET so it can also be used for cuke4duke, cuke4nuke
projects.
We have a public TeamCity instance for demo purposes and the server is
also one of "official" CI servers for several open-source projects
like Apache Ant and Ivy. If you like, we would be happy to setup
builds for Cucumber and grant administration role for maintainers.
I've already configured several preliminary build configurations for
Cucumber, take a look at http://teamcity.jetbrains.com/project.html?projectId=project39&tab=projectOverview&guest=1.
Your comments are welcome.
If you like TeamCity but want to setup your own server, JetBrains
provides free licenses for open-sources projects.
Best regards,

jetbrains is willing to sponsor cucumber in that way, I'd say go for
it. I guess that really on depends on the amount of control needed /
allowed by their setup.
Otherwise, I'd say that checking with some of the hosting companies
out there like engine yard, linode, slicehost, prgmr.com, etc and
offering to put a "hosted by X" link and ad on the site would be a
pretty simple deal. Cucumber is a big name these days, and I'm sure
the cukes.info site has pretty good stats. Heck, rdoc.info has hosting
through linode.
Just my 2 cents.

sponsorship).
I've never used TeamCity, but it seems really nice. When I went to
http://teamcity.jetbrains.com/project.html?projectId=project39
it asked me for credentials so I couldn't check it out.
I think if JetBrains is willing to sponsor it and help set it up it makes sense to just go with them....
Roman- I think the big dependency is RVM. Will the server be setup with RVM so we can run multiple versions of ruby?

I emailed Aslak off-list last night but he hasn't gotten back to me yet - Brightbox (http://brightbox.co.uk/) are willing to donate a server for this. We use cucumber internally and love it, and like to support the open source community where we can. :)

Great, thanks Caius!
I guess the question remains is if TeamCity can support RVM and will be
an easier setup/maintenance alternative.
If not then we can go the Hudson route on Brightbox route.

I just went to the correct URL. (My client had cut it off when I tried
before and was asked for credentials.) It looks like a good start! It
looks like you have it setup to use 1.9 and 1.87... How can you specify
this with TeamCity?
The cucumber-rails project uses RVM and bundler to switch out the ruby
version and gemsets during a single run. That way it is able to lump a
number of different rails and ruby versions in one build. We we be able
to use RVM on these servers like that?

TeamCity internally for RubyMine IDE testing.

Cool! It seems like it will meet out needs then.
WDYT Aslak?

Thanks for all of the offers and suggestions. I haven't gone through
it all yet, and I'll discuss the options with the other core
developers. I'll get back about this in a couple of days.
