Hello folks,

I just saw that the project cpantesters-web has a failing badge for TravisCI, which I understand is not an (free) option anymore (I have broken badges myself).

I've noticed that Github Actions might be a good substitute for that, do you think it would be interesting to setup it to cpantesters-web as well?

Just checked out, the service should be free for it as long the repository is public:

https://docs.github.com/en/billing/managing-billing-for-github-actions/about-billing-for-github-actions

Regards,

Alceu

Thanks Jonas for all the pointers! I'll look into them shortly.

Meanwhile, I would like to know if it is interesting for the community
to have the same thing applied to the cpantesters-web project and
execute the same tests that used to be carried on by TravisCI. I'm
willing to provide a pull request for that.

Regards,
Alceu
