travis-restarts

Heroku app to restart rOpenSci Travis-CI builds

Uses

• Heroku
• You should have the heroku cli tool installed
• Travis-CI Ruby gem
• Adapted form philou/daily-travis

Note: After a few days the Heroku scheduler didn't work. I reset the scheduler from once per day to once per 10 minutes - it started working - then switched back to once per day. Now it seems to work again. Heroku states that the service is 100% reliable - indeed. Explored clockwork gem a bit, but didn't fully figure it out yet for a rack app (most egs are for Rails apps).

Usage

• Clone this repo locally

git clone git@github.com:ropensci/travis-restarts.git

• If you don't have it yet, install the heroku toolbelt

• Create an heroku app to deploy to

heroku apps:create <app-name>

• Deploy to heroku

git push heroku master

• Generate a travis token

bundle install
bundle exec travis login
bundle exec travis token

• Add the parameters to your heroku app

heroku config:add TRAVIS_REPO_=<github-user>/<github-repo>
heroku config:add TRAVIS_TOKEN=`bundle exec travis token`

Note that those aren't quotes around bundle exec travis token, but backticks

• Test that the latest build is restarted by manually running

heroku run rake build

• Add the scheduler to your heroku app

heroku addons:add scheduler:standard
heroku addons:open scheduler

• Add the task rake build to your heroku scheduler
