travis-build-repeat

👷 Repeat TravisCI builds to avoid stale test results

If your project's tests rely on a 3rd party API or service, running your tests at commit time isn't enough. To ensure your projects continue function correctly, you need to regularly run your test suite. travis-build-repeat lets you automate this process with AWS Lambda.

Once setup, travis-build-repeat automatically restarts the latest build of your project on a schedule, so you'll get notified if something breaks.

Installation

1. Clone the repo

   https://github.com/bcongdon/travis-build-repeat
   

2. Install dependencies

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Copy settings.py.template to settings.py.

   cp settings.py.template settings.py
   

4. Create a Github access token here with the following permissions:

   • read:org
   • user:email
   • repo_deployment
   • repo:status
   • write:repo_hook

5. Set TRAVIS_KEY in settings.py to be this access token.

6. Add the repos you want to keep updated to TRAVIS_REPOS, with the format username/repo_name

7. Run zappa deploy to schedule the AWS Lambda functions. (Note: This will require you to have setup your AWS credentials file)

Additional Instructions
