Support settings multiple languges in one travis ci file

[paladox]

Hi please support setting multiple languges in one travis ci file please.

for example like

language: php, ruby, java, js

or

language: php ruby java js

Thanks for the issue.

Can you please explain the use case and how the install steps might work?

[paladox]

Use can be if you have one project that has mutple files for different programming langugages like for example having php and js then you want to be able to test both js and php not just one or the other.

It could go like for example

language: php, js

or can go like

language: php js

Do you have an open source which is a good example of this?

[paladox]

I haven't got an open source for this since it woulden work.

@paladox Is there a repo that you would like to use this sort of behavior on, or is it just an idea?

I have a project which uses Python flask for backend and AngularJS for frontend. I have tests for both the language files. I currently have set up npm to run JS tests. Now I would like to add Python nosetests as well. I think this should be a good example. project is at https://github.com/GluuFederation/gluu-webui

@tecoholic I suggest using language: python in that case, as you have access to both Python and Node.js runtime (via nvm).

[tecoholic]

@BanzaiMan Thanks for the tip. I never knew you could straight away call nvm. Saw some places where people have installed nodejs from scratch. nvm was simple.

I'm working on a project that depends on both python and go, though it's mostly written in go, but has some vendor dependencies that are in python that need to be tested and installed with pip. I'd also like to test on linux and osx, and if all of that works, then I'd like to iterate through various versions of python, go, and the vendor dependency.

Needless to say this looks like a messy matrix, and any suggestions or examples would be welcomed.

I want to upstream my go version of the subunit library ( https://github.com/elopio/go-subunit ). I have in that project a travis file that runs the go tests.
They already have a travis that runs the python tests ( https://github.com/testing-cabal/subunit ).
So, I have no idea how to combine the two travis files. It would be great to have support for two language tags. I will put my library in a subfolder of the upstream project, so it would also be cool if I could just move my .travis.yml file to the subfolder and the system could find it and run the tests.

The FlatBuffers project (https://github.com/google/flatbuffers) uses many languages. The compiler is built in C++, and we have runtime code for the following languages: C++, C#, Go, Java, Javascript, and Python.

Has there been any progress on this issue?

We are also having the same issue with https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native. Our project is fundamentally implemented in C++, but we are building and testing on a variety of platforms, including Android, plain Linux, Node.js bindings etc. We've selected "Android" as the base image, since it contains the Android NDK; but selecting that affects other parts of the system, like caching (only one global cache, which doesn't help us much since our build artifacts are vastly varying).
