Testing dpl
in the context of Travis CI builds
It is possible to test new deployment provider or new functionality of dpl when it is used from the Travis CI build script.
To do so, add the following to your .travis.yml
:
deploy:
provider: X
edge:
source: myown/dpl
branch: foo
on:
branch: TEST_BRANCH # or all_branches: true
⋮ # rest of provider X configuration
This builds the dpl
gem on the VM
from https://github.com/myown/dpl
, the foo
branch.
Then it installs the locally built gem,
and uses that to deploy.
Notice that this is not a merge commit, so it is important
that when you are testing your PR, the branch foo
is up-to-date
with https://github.com/travis-ci/dpl/tree/master/.
When opening a PR, be sure to run at least one deployment with the new configuration, and provide a link to the build in the PR.
