Replace Travis CI with a free alternative #906

Closed tobi-wan-kenobi closed 1 year ago

tobi-wan-kenobi commented 1 year ago

As far as I can tell, Travis CI has no perpetually free plan for OSS projects anymore.

Since this is strictly a sparetime project, I cannot afford to pay 70$ a month for CI.

Remove Travis (since the build status right now is misleading), and search for a free alternative.

Thoughts so far:

github actions (https://docs.github.com/en/actions/automating-builds-and-tests/building-and-testing-python) - how will that work with badges & code climate? But "github internal", so hopefully stays free
Circle CI: Has a free plan, need to investigate features a bit

Addendum: Travis CI does support OSS projects, but this requires periodic interaction with their support to "refill" the credits (i.e. you can get additional one-shot credits if your project fulfills their requirements).

I will give Circle CI a shot, I don't want to tie in too much with github, in case I ever decide to switch to a different platform.

Closing for now - Circle CI was a bit complicated to set up with multiple Python versions (probably would need to use tox for that), and GitHub Actions were pretty easy to set up, so that is what it is for now :)
