I want to re-open and re-purpose this repository #20

@facundominguez @qnikst - any objections to this idea (below)?

I am thinking about using this repository to create an integration build, that can be run either in a pipeline (which would mean moving to a different CI provider, since travis doesn't really support build pipelines) or scheduling to run daily.

The idea is that we create an integration testing project, which executes a much broader range of cloud haskell libraries against a much broader set of use cases. A set of stack-X.yaml configurations can pull in the very latest of a matrix of our dependencies, and test accordingly. This would allow us to verify multiple configurations of things that are not limited to distributed-process, but could also pull in and utilise stuff like simplelocalnet, multiple alternative network-transport implementations (e.g., 0MQ, named pipes, CCI, etc), exercise some of the platform libraries like d-p-task, d-p-execution, d-p-supervisor, and so on.

We could also use this capability to exercise tests that run multiple executables.

I will do some further investigation on various CI provider options, and post back my findings.

Makes sense. But maybe it needs to be renamed to cloud-haskell-integration-tests or the like to avoid confusing newcomers.

hyperthunk commented 5 years ago

Agreed. Will choose a sensible name once the CI strategy is decided.
