Hands-On Continuous Integration and Delivery

By: Jean-Marcel Belmont

Overview of this book

Hands-On Continuous Integration and Delivery starts with the fundamentals of continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) and where it fits in the DevOps ecosystem. You will explore the importance of stakeholder collaboration as part of CI/CD. As you make your way through the chapters, you will get to grips with Jenkins UI, and learn to install Jenkins on different platforms, add plugins, and write freestyle scripts. Next, you will gain hands-on experience of developing plugins with Jenkins UI, building the Jenkins 2.0 pipeline, and performing Docker integration. In the concluding chapters, you will install Travis CI and Circle CI and carry out scripting, logging, and debugging, helping you to acquire a broad knowledge of CI/CD with Travis CI and CircleCI. By the end of this book, you will have a detailed understanding of best practices for CI/CD systems and be able to implement them with confidence.

Travis CI script breakdown

Now that we have gone over YAML syntax, we can explain in more detail the various parts of the Travis CI script.

Select a programming language

language: go

In this block of the .travis.yml script we add the programming language that we will be using in the continuous integration build. This is usually the first entry in the .travis.yml script that you add.

Travis CI supports many programming languages such as:

  • C
  • C++
  • JavaScript with Node.js
  • Elixir
  • Go
  • Haskell
  • Ruby

You can look at languages (https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/languages) in the Travis CI docs for a complete list of supported programming languages.
