Problem Statement

IRIS has created a blog-publishing service (similar to Blogspot), which allows students of NITK to start up blogs with minimal effort. Dedicated to automation (or just plain lazy), we would like to simplify testing and deployment.

We have decided on using Travis CI as our CI provider and require you to help us out with the following tasks:

  1. Configure Travis CI to run tests for the Rails app.
  2. Configure Travis CI to run style checks using overcommit gem
  3. Configure Travis CI to deploy to Heroku if the master branch passes all tests.
  4. Create a cron job to send an email of user activity weekly (optional, requires basic ruby knowledge).

Resources

  1. Testing Rails Application
  2. Overcommit - A fully configurable and extendable git hook manager
  3. How to setup Travis CI for rails
  4. Heroku Deployment - Travis CI
  5. Cron Jobs - Travis CI

Note: Pull changes from the main application repository frequently as we might push bugfixes and documentation.
