--------------------------------------
Summary: Add hosted CI config files (such as Circle and TravisCI)
for easier developer testing
Key: CASSANDRA-13388
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13388
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Testing
Reporter: Jeff Jirsa
Assignee: Jeff Jirsa
Fix For: 2.2.x, 3.0.x, 3.11.x, 4.x
We currently require unit tests and dtests to accept a patch, but it's not easy
for most contributors to actually execute these tests in a way that's visible
for the reviewer / other JIRA users.
We should push some standard config files into the various branches to
facilitate easier testing.
I propose we start with TravisCI and CircleCI, because:
- Travis has limited free support for developers working on OSS projects, and
is already an accepted vendor at the ASF (apparently the ASF pays for 30
concurrent tests already), and
- CircleCI is also free for developers working on OSS projects, and has
slightly more flexibility than Travis in terms of the number of free workers
and durations.
Both are enabled by pushing a single YAML file into each branch to configure
jobs, and require each individual developer who WANTS to run tests to link
their github account to the vendor. Developers who don't want to use this
functionality can simply ignore it - they're effectively no-ops for anyone
who's not already using those services.
Are there any others we should consider including?
