This is definitely the goal. Right now, our build matrix tests against different databases, different Django versions, and different python versions. We could look at testing against different webservers but right now we just use django’s built-in webserver. AMQP is going away though[0]. > Let's say pulp_file is being tested. Is both it and pulpcore installed from source? Or is pulpcore installed from egg/wheel? Yes, we’re testing against source which also allows us to test against different PRs. Often, a pulpcore change will require a pulp_file change or vice versa and we just added some functionality recently that actually lets us test against PRs too.[1] pulp-smash is also running against source or PRs. IMO, testing against source lets us move faster than testing against releases. Maybe we can look at switching though once things have stabilized after the MVP. > Who is looking at Jenkins jobs? If only QE, why have Jenkins jobs? I don’t think we need them. We can trigger builds on an as-needed basis with Travis without making git commits. We’re also running builds nightly right now with Travis’ cron. > What does this mean for goals like multi-host testing? It looks like Travis supports running docker containers[2] so maybe we could leverage containers to test this sort of setup. There are definitely limitations of Travis that might require us to move to something more robust in the future but short-term I think/hope Travis will fit our needs.
