Add a git repository as a lib to travis build

Trying to get travis to build a library example using platformio.

It has library dependencies that are not platformio libs. that I would like to clone into travis for use a lib.

Do you have an example of how to do this?

many thanks

ok scratch that. found the docs. silly me

OK so something else. Canā€™t get travis to work. canā€™t see why. Using it to build a library.

here is the travis output

script:
    
    - platformio ci --build-dir="/tmp/build" --keep-build-dir --lib="." --lib="/tmp/ESPAsyncWebServer" --board=nodemcu

The problem here is that you changed project directory to cd /tmp/ESPAsyncWebServerā€¦

Try this

install:
    - pip install -U platformio
    - platformio lib install 293  
    - git clone --recursive -b FileFallbackHandler https://github.com/sticilface/ESPAsyncWebServer /tmp/ESPAsyncWebServe
    - mkdir /tmp/build

that fixed it! thanks as always for the super fast support.

Iā€™ll probably be chasing you again. Iā€™m trying to have complete .bin uploaded back to my repository, with files from the /data folder, and generation of a json manifest with appropriate md5sā€¦ so a lot to try and get done!

Take a look at the @squix78 article ESP8266: Continuous Delivery Pipeline ā€“ Push To Productionā€¦

Happy Coding with PlatformIO! :blush:

Thats what gave me the idea! few differences though as i need to generate md5, and copy the data folder to githubio as well! not just the bin. bit to doā€¦

any hintsā€¦

so including this in my header for the lib

// Stringifying the BUILD_TAG parameter
#define TEXTIFY(A) #A
#define ESCAPEQUOTE(A) TEXTIFY(A)

String buildTag = ESCAPEQUOTE(BUILD_TAG);
.pioenvs/nodemcu/libESPmanager.a -Wl,--end-group
.pioenvs/nodemcu/libESPmanager.a(ESPmanager.o):(.bss.buildTag+0x0): multiple definition of `buildTag'
.pioenvs/nodemcu/src/tmp_ino_to.o:(.bss.buildTag+0x0): first defined here
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
scons: *** [.pioenvs/nodemcu/firmware.elf] Error 1

How about to use BUILD_TAG macros? See my comment ESP8266: Continuous Delivery Pipeline ā€“ Push To Production ā€“ Squix ā€“ TechBlog

OK, so lots of progress.

Iā€™ve got travis to build, and collect all the files for SPIFFS, generate a json manifest file with correct relative links and md5 checksum, and upload it all to my own home server via SSHā€¦ so nearly thereā€¦

butā€¦ there is a bit that I donā€™t quite understandā€¦ and need some help withā€¦

this line PLATFORMIO_BUILD_FLAGS=!echo '-DBUILD_TAG='${TRAVIS_TAG:-"0.0.0"}

takes TRAVIS_TAG and outputs it as a build flagā€¦

now i need this to happen for a few thingsā€¦ TRAVIS_COMMIT and TRAVIS_BRANCH as well as some custom enviromentalsā€¦

could u kindly explain the syntax here as i do not follow the !echoā€¦ and suchā€¦

with the !echo in, the tags get passed as global environmental variables and not passed as flags to the builder.

 - PLATFORMIO_CI_SRC=examples/ESPmanager-example PLATFORMIO_BUILD_FLAGS= !echo "-DBUILD_TIMESTAMP=$UNIX_TIME -DBUILD_TAG='$TRAVIS_TAG' -DCOMMIT_TAG='$TRAVIS_COMMIT'"
$ export PLATFORMIO_CI_SRC=examples/ESPmanager-example
$ export DBUILD_TIMESTAMP=$UNIX_TIME
$ export DBUILD_TAG='$TRAVIS_TAG'
$ export DCOMMIT_TAG='$TRAVIS_COMMIT'

if i take out the echo then it works

$ export PLATFORMIO_BUILD_FLAGS="-DBUILD_TIMESTAMP=$UNIX_TIME -DBUILD_TAG='$TRAVIS_TAG' -DCOMMIT_TAG='$TRAVIS_COMMIT'"

but iā€™ve also found that in the example Redirecting...

you can specify per build and globalsā€¦ but it is not obvious that globals will overwrite individual onesā€¦

!echo ... will be replaced with the result of output. It means, that

  • when TRAVIS_TAG does not exist, then PLATFORMIO_BUILD_FLAGS=-DBUILD_TAG=0.0.0
  • otherwise, PLATFORMIO_BUILD_FLAGS=-DBUILD_TAG=x.x.x

How about to use platformio run instead platformio ci? Again, see my comment ESP8266: Continuous Delivery Pipeline ā€“ Push To Production ā€“ Squix ā€“ TechBlog
