CI integration - Initial Investigation

[darrenarmstrong85]

As a developer, having a simple way of independently verifying builds using CI triggers will improve confidence in testing

No idea how to do this yet. Need more research.

Done

• options investigated and a first candidate identified

One mechanism for this would be Travis CI integration. But it would mean adding entirely new language support. See: https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/languages/community-supported-languages/#Adding-a-new-language

Semaphore is another?

Shippable also appear to have decent support for building custom images for "unsupported" languages:

Werker may also be another...

Shippable build requires a docker image from Google Container Registry (GCR) or Amazon EC2 Container Registry ECR. Assuming GCR for now, the steps should be:

(#12)

1. Create the docker image we need
   • Probably worth validating at this stage that you can run tests locally.

     (#13)

2. Set up GCR / other account integration: link
3. Push docker image to required repository link
4. Pick up this image in shippable.yml. This includes setting language:none and a custom pre_ci_boot to pick up the required image. link

5. ... Magic, to somehow link the build we need
