Travis

[mottosso]

Goal

Automate tests.

Implementation

Setup continuous integration on Travis with Docker.

1. Tests are located in repository, tests.py
2. Repository is cloned on Travis
3. Docker downloads and runs Centos with Maya, once per version, 2013-2016
4. Per run, trigger tests.py

• https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/docker/

Example

$ docker run --rm -ti -v $(pwd):/root mottosso/maya:2013sp1 mayapy -c "from maya import standalone, cmds;standalone.initialize();cmds.playblast = lambda *args, **kwargs: None;import nose;nose.run()"

cmds.playblast is mocked, due to platform not having access to graphical hardware. Because of that, tests cannot actually trigger a playblast. But it doesn't matter, we aren't able to validate outputted images anyway by anything other than by eye.

What could happen, is that we have 90% of the tests run headless on Travis, and a separate, optional test_graphics.py that runs locally.
