Introduction

The goal of this project is to facilitate the running of tests and code analysis tools against a Moodle plugin in Travis CI.

Supported tests and code analysis tools:

Requirements

PHP 5.4 or later and Moodle 2.7 or later.

In addition, the plugin being tested must have a version.php file and $plugin->component must be defined within it.

Getting started

Follow these steps to get your Moodle plugin building in Travis CI.

Step 1

Sign into Travis CI with your GitHub account. Once you’re signed in, and Travis CI will have synchronized your repositories from GitHub. Go to your profile page and enable Travis CI for the plugin you want to build. Now whenever your plugin receives an update or gets a new pull request, Travis CI will run a build to make sure nothing broke.

Step 2

Copy the .travis.dist.yml file into the root of your plugin and rename it to .travis.yml. Now might be a good time to review the .travis.yml contents and remove anything that is not needed. See this help document for an explanation about the contents of the this file. Once you have added the .travis.yml file, commit and push up to GitHub, to trigger a Travis CI build. Check the build status page to see if your build passes or fails.
