Brew Test Bot
brew test-bot is the name for the automated review and testing system funded
by our Kickstarter in 2013.
It comprises of four Mac Minis running in a data centre in England which host
a Jenkins instance at http://bot.brew.sh and run the
brew-test-bot.rb
Ruby script to perform automated testing of commits to the master branch, pull
requests and custom builds requested by core contributors.
There is a brew test-bot mailing list on Google Groups which emails its members any failed builds that failed on the Homebrew master branch.
The bot automatically builds pull requests and updates their status depending on the result of the job.
For example, a job which has been queued but not yet started will have a section in the pull-request that looks like this:
A failed build looks like this:
A passed build looks like this:
On failed or passed builds you can click the "Details" link to view the result in Jenkins.
When you click this you'll see the results.
A passed build looks like this:
A failed build looks like this:
You can click the test results link
(e.g. brew-test-bot.mxcl/homebrew/pull/22183-3c17deb.install embree) to
view the failed test output:
