DevOps: TravisCI credits have run out - leading to failed builds?

[joeyklee]

Dear ml5 community,

I'm submitting a new issue. Please see the details below.

→ Step 1: Describe the issue 📝

Did you find a bug? Want to suggest an idea for feature?

I think our TravisCI has run out of open source credits for running our continuous integration. This might be one reason why our CI builds are no longer running 😿 (along with our need to do more mocking of the requests that go to retrieve our big model files 😬 )

→ Step 2: Screenshots or Relevant Documentation 🖼

Here's some helpful screenshots and/or documentation of the new feature

Possible solutions

• @shiffman -- we could reach out to TravisCI to see if we might get more credits?
• We could also adjust our settings for when we run our CI -- maybe we run tests locally for any new PRs until we sort this out in a more robust way?

NOTE: for now I've disabled travis ci builds and tests by doing the following:

• https://travis-ci.community/t/known-issue-travis-ci-reports-expected-waiting-for-status-to-be-reported-on-the-github-status-api-but-the-status-never-arrives/1154

We can flip these back on once we figure out next steps for this. In the meantime, we should run all tests locally before merges/releases! 🙈

Thanks for looking into this @joeyklee! I'd be happy to request credits, I don't recall how we got them in the first place or did we just run out of a free plan? We could also allocate some of the remaining funds we have for the project to paying for credits if that makes sense!

Thanks for your reply @shiffman!

We could also allocate some of the remaining funds we have for the project to paying for credits if that makes sense!

• I think before we go for allocating funding, I would first see if we can get open source creds.
• Since our CI is almost always failing to build b/c our tests timeout -- requesting those big model files I think is tough! -- we might consider also working on our tests a bit before setting up the CI w/ Travis again?

[shiffman]

I agree this makes sense @joeyklee! Let's table this issue until we have more reliable tests and then we can revisit securing additional credits w/ Travis (or a different service if that makes sense.)
