Deployment

In order to pre-compile our a connector we require every connector to be automatically be built, tested and deployed to Github Releases.

We have had good success using AppVeyor and Travis-CI as our automated build service.

AppVeyor

We use AppVeyor for our windows builds. See below for an example of appveyor.yml

environment:
  nodejs_version: 5.5.0
platform:
  - x64
  - x86
shallow_clone: true
skip_non_tags: true
install:
  - ps: Install-Product node $env:nodejs_version $env:Platform
  - node --version
  - npm --version
  - node -e "console.log(process.arch);"
  - FOR /F "delims=" %%a IN ('node -e "console.log(require('./package.json').version)"') DO SET PACKAGE_VERSION=%%~a
  - SET PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\bin\;%PATH%
  - SET GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2013
  - if "%PLATFORM%" == "x64" set PATH=C:\Python27-x64;%PATH%
  - if "%PLATFORM%" == "x86" SET PATH=C:\python27;%PATH%
  - npm install --build-from-source --production
  - npm install meshblu-connector-packager
  - npm dedupe
  - npm install -g flatten-packages
  - flatten-packages
  - ps: >-
      if($env:platform -eq "x86") {
        $env:PACKAGER_ARCH="386"
      } else {
        $env:PACKAGER_ARCH="amd64"
      }
  - npm run package
  - ps: $root = Resolve-Path deploy; [IO.Directory]::GetFiles($root.Path, '*.*', 'AllDirectories') | % { Push-AppveyorArtifact $_ -FileName $_.Substring($root.Path.Length + 1) -DeploymentName Connector }

Travis CI

We use Travis for building on Linux and macOS. See below for an example .travis.yml configuration.
