Hello all, I’ve been working on a docker-compose based alternative to django-box (imaginatively named django-docker-box) over the last month and it finally appears to be mostly complete.
For reference the tool is just a Dockerfile and a docker-compose definition that is able to run a complete test matrix of every supported Python and DB version. It’s as simple as docker-compose run sqlite. You can see a full test run (excluding oracle) here: https://travis-ci.com/orf/django-docker-box/builds/90167436 Florian suggested I create a thread here to gather feedback and discuss any potential future directions for the project, so here goes: Firstly I’d like to know if there is any support for moving this under the Django project itself, maybe even as a replacement for django-box? I think the setup is pretty quick compared to django-box and is more flexible in terms of database version support as well as working with Oracle. I’d also really like some help improving Oracle support if anyone has the time! Secondly is there any support for integrating this with our current Jenkins setup? I think it would be pretty neat to have parity between what runs on the CI and what we can run locally and have any improvements shared between both. Perhaps a full matrix run (which right now is 66 different environments) is out of the question but a smaller subset could be good? Thirdly, and this is a bit wild, but what about using this to reduce the burden of running Jenkins by running the tests on a managed CI service like Travis CI? We would likely still need Jenkins due to issues with Oracle and running tests on Windows (unless https://github.com/django/django/pull/10259 works with Docker!), but we could offload some of the environments onto a third party service. Travis gives large OS projects like Django increased concurrency limits on their accounts so we could end up with pretty speedy test runs. Also with docker-compose switching between CI services (including Jenkins) would be very simple. The repo is here: https://github.com/orf/django-docker-box. Any feedback on these points or the project itself would be greatly appreciated, Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
