There has been a lot of discussion about tests lately and I feel the urge to jump in and make some suggestions regarding the way we test things. I'm still fairly new in the community and sometimes don't have the whole background story, so please if I'm missing something let me know.
Currently we have bunch of platforms with failing tests. I'm assuming that, when these tests were first added, they were all passing. My theory is that over time platforms moved forward but tests remain stagnant and now bunch of them are failing. I think we should consider running these tests automatically to ensure: a) We keep maintaining unit-tests tests regularly b) We run all unit tests before checking in code c) Reduce the friction for new developers For unit tests, I think it's a good idea to integrate them into CI builds. This will probably add some extra time on travis/appveyor but it shouldn't take more than 1hr. I think it's a fair trade off to wait some more and have an overall more stable Cordova. We can always skip the CI build step if it's an urgent fix (security, critical bug, etc). I've checked travis and both iOS and Android configs come with SDK tools preinstalled, so there are no blockers to going forward with this. Thoughts?
