Work in progress: test fast-feed on OS X with Travis build

[vielmetti]

The goal is to have Travis build fast-feed on OS X and have tests pass.

The corresponding PR is #27 and it's failing all of the OS X tests now because I haven't sorted out the Mac environment yet for Travis for node, so it's not at all ready for merge.

It looks like node-sqlite has got the environment set sorted out, here:

https://github.com/mapbox/node-sqlite3/blob/master/.travis.yml

so I know it's doable:

https://travis-ci.org/mapbox/node-sqlite3

thanks!

Thanks @rla . It looks like there's a couple of ways this might be done; hoping to get a strategy that's maximally readable and also compact.

The node-sass approach to this at https://github.com/sass/node-sass/blob/master/.travis.yml looks better than the node-sqlite3 approach. Their discussion is in a pull request: sass/node-sass#1137

[vielmetti]

I followed the node-sass approach, and now #27 is ready to merge - all tests are green.

PR #27 has been merged, closing this.

Thanks for all of your help on this @rla . I wrote this up http://vielmetti.github.io/post/2015/2015-09-16-travis-ci/ to describe and capture bits of what I've learned. I realize now that I should go back and edit in links to your blog posts on the topic, will do that next.

@vielmetti it would be worth mentioning that CI does not only test master for non-broken code but (feature) branches as well (or PRs in case of GitHub). I think that's where "integration" in CI comes from. For GitHub it's super-useful.
