Travis CI builds are very slow

[Yegappan Lakshmanan]

Hi,

The Travis CI builds are very slow for the last month or so.

It looks like the total number of parallel Linux builds for all

the open source projects has been limited to 400 or so

(you can see the flat line in the graph for the active

Linux builds in this https://www.traviscistatus.com/ page).

This might be related to the new pricing model:

https://blog.travis-ci.com/2020-11-02-travis-ci-new-billing

I don't know whether they will make an exception for Vim.

Yes, I have also noticed this and this is annoying. I wonder whether it
makes sense to migrate away from Travis to either Github Actions or some
other CI service.

Best,
Christian

First thing to do would be to ask them to give Vim a free account.
They might be Vim users themselves.

Another thing we must consider is that travis-ci.org will shutdown at the end of this year.

If we still use Travis CI, we have to migrate to travis-ci.com.

You already have a free account, but they allocate 10,000 credits by
default. Each minute of CI time costs a certain amount of credits -- 10
for Linux, 20 for Windows, and 50 for macOS.

A single PR/commit to master uses ~2,000 credits based on the timings I
looked at. Credits are allocated on a per-month basis. You can request
more from Travis, but that will have to happen any time the credits
aren't enough.

The free account also limits the concurrency to a single job at a time,
which is why CI times are taking so much longer now.

It was working OK before they reduced the number of Linux jobs for open
source.

I read about that credit and cost, but can't find anything about what
credit was used and still available.

For MacVim, because we already transitioned to travis-ci.com from .org a little while ago, we got hit by this without me being aware of it at first since I didn't read about this change. They give you a trial account with a fixed amount of credit, which MacVim CI quickly used up. After that you have to contact them to get approved for OSS credits. It's still not 100% clear to me (and I already re-read the blog post and documentation) whether these OSS credits are allotted on a per-month basis, or you need to ask for more every time you run out. (I'm still waiting for my OSS credits to be approved but they gave me some temporary credits to use for now)

Either way, I think Vim needs to move off from travis-ci.org because that's for sure going away. Seems to me moving to Github Actions makes a lot more sense than trying to deal with the credit system in Travis CI (also because there doesn't seem to be an easy way to buy credits with a payment scheme). Not sure if Github Actions provides a superset of features or environments compared to Travis CI though (for macOS for example Tracis CI has a *lot* more OS versions available).

Hi and Christian Bram,

2020年11月24日火曜日 18:57:43 UTC+9 Ken Takata:

Now we are using GitHub Actions. So, the most of the issues were solved.

But we still need to use Travis CI for some environments.

As I wrote before, travis-ci.org will shutdown, so we have to migrate to travis-ci.com.

Bram, could you migrate it with the following instractions?

https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/migrate/open-source-repository-migration#migrating-a-repository

I have already sent a request to enable GitHub Apps and I think you have enabled it.

But I don't have an access to do the further steps.

Could you enable GitHub Apps on the vim/vim repository?

Christian, I think that the vim/vim-appimage repository is also using travis-ci.org.

It should be also migrated to travis-ci.com.

Ken Takata

I have added the travis app, but on travis-ci.com I only see
colorschemes, vim-history and a couple of others, but not "vim".

Maybe it takes some time to show up, since it's much bigger?

In the "Migrate" tab I see "vim" greyed out, and the info box says
"Migration is not available for this account".

There is a "Sign up for the beta" button, but it doesn't appear to have
an effect.

Now I can see the same page; "vim" and "vim-appimage" are greyed out.

Maybe you need to "Sign up for the beta" on both travis-ci.org and travis-ci.com?

Looks like it worked now.

Thanks Ken, I think vim/vim-appimage has also been successfully migrated
now.
