automated building/testing for SDL_Perl?

[Mason James]

hi All

I've recently learnt how to use the Travis [1] automated build system with github repos

its a pretty handy tool that detects errors in commits; and also builds/tests your codebase after any commit series is pushed, on multiple versions of perl even (currently 5.10 -> 5.18)


with some pretty small changes, I've managed to get both the SDL and Alien-SDL repos building/testing successfully with Travis [2][3]
(i plan on sorting the SDL2 and Alien-SDL2 repos soon)

so… is this something people are keen on using for SDL_Perl project?


cheers, Mason

Hi Mason,

that is pretty cool. If it does a rebuild and test after every commit,
can I see a matrix of commits?

Cheers, Tobias

hmm, the 'build history' (and 'pull request'?) tabs show a history of commits (and their test result)

https://travis-ci.org/KohaAloha/Alien-SDL/builds
https://travis-ci.org/KohaAloha/Alien-SDL/pull_requests


thats the best travis does, i think…?

Yeap this would be great for sdl. I can give you permissions to add it to SDL repos?

oh, also...

some other nice things with Travis, is that (afaik) it can be configured to send emails and irc messages after a build

so we could get Travis to send build messages to #sdl on irc.perl.org, (or create a 'build' mailing list)

[Kartik Thakore]

Done. Let me know if you need more permissions for the travis irc stuff.

just a little update...

i've managed to sort a successful travis build on the PerlGamesDev/Alien-SDL2 experimental branch

https://travis-ci.org/PerlGameDev/Alien-SDL2
https://github.com/PerlGameDev/Alien-SDL2/commits/experimental


i'll attempt to get a SDL2 build succeeding over then next few days
