The public Travis API

This is the app running on https://api.travis-ci.org/

Requirements

You will need the following packages to get travis-api to work:

1. PostgreSQL 9.3 or higher
2. Bundler
3. Redis Server
4. Optional: RabbitMQ Server
5. Nginx - If working in Ubuntu please install nginx manually from source: Download and extract latest nginx version, open a terminal in extracted folder and then run the following:

    $ sudo apt-get install libpcre3 libpcre3-dev
    $ auto/configure --user=$USER
    $ make
    $ sudo make install
    $ sudo ln -s /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx /bin/nginx

Installation

Setup

$ bundle install

Database setup

You might need to create a role first. For this you should run the following:

$ sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE USER yourusername WITH SUPERUSER PASSWORD 'yourpassword'"

NB detail for how rake sets up the database can be found in the Rakefile. In the namespace :db block you will see the database name is configured using the environment variable RAILS_ENV. If you are using a different configuration you will have to make your own adjustments.

$ RAILS_ENV=development bundle exec rake db:create
$ RAILS_ENV=test bundle exec rake db:create

Optional

Clone travis-logs and copy the logs database (assume the PostgreSQL user is postgres):

$ cd ..
$ git clone https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-logs.git
$ cd travis-logs
$ rvm jruby do bundle exec rake db:migrate # `travis-logs` requires JRuby
$ psql -c "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS logs CASCADE" -U postgres travis_development
$ pg_dump -t logs travis_logs_development | psql -U postgres travis_development

$ RAILS_ENV=test bundle exec rake db:create
$ pushd ../travis-logs
$ RAILS_ENV=test rvm jruby do bundle exec rake db:migrate
$ psql -c "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS logs CASCADE" -U postgres travis_test
$ pg_dump -t logs travis_logs_test | psql -U postgres travis_test
$ popd

Run tests

$ bundle exec rspec

Run the server

$ bundle exec script/server

If you have problems with Nginx because the websocket is already in use, try restarting your computer.
