Find way to activate long testing in Travis easily #69

Open jni opened 8 years ago

jni commented 8 years ago

Some tests were taking too long, so I replaced them with corresponding tests with tiny data. Nevertheless, the long tests are still there with a skipif decorator (see here) and they are useful to run occasionally because they use real data. It would be great to enable them easily on Travis e.g. with a flag in the commit message, e.g. for refactors that alter large chunks of code. I haven't yet explored how this can be done realistically.

The naive way to do this would be with a commented-out line in .travis.yml that sets the corresponding environment variable. But it's not very elegant at all to litter the git history with commits commenting and uncommenting this one line.

Another option: have the travis script grep the latest commit message for a specific message, and set the flag if it is there.
