# `.ci`
This directory contains scripts for Travis CI and (more or less) Azure
Pipelines, but they will also happily run on any Debian-like machine.
The scripts are usually split into `_install` and `_test` steps. The `_install`
step will damage your machine, the `_test` step will just run the tests the way
CI runs them.
There is a common library, `ci_lib.py`, which just centralized a bunch of
random macros and also environment parsing.
Some of the scripts allow you to pass extra flags through to the component
under test, e.g. `../../.ci/ansible_tests.py -vvv` will run with verbose.
Hack these scripts until your heart is content. There is no pride to be found
here, just necessity.
### `ci_lib.run_batches()`
There are some weird looking functions to extract more paralellism from the
build. The above function takes lists of strings, arranging for the strings in
each list to run in order, but for the lists to run in parallel. That's great
for doing `setup.py install` while pulling a Docker container, for example.
### Environment Variables
* `VER`: Ansible version the `_install` script should install. Default changes
over time.
* `TARGET_COUNT`: number of targets for `debops_` run. Defaults to 2.
* `DISTRO`: the `mitogen_` tests need a target Docker container distro. This
name comes from the Docker Hub `mitogen` user, i.e. `mitogen/$DISTRO-test`
* `DISTROS`: the `ansible_` tests can run against multiple targets
simultaneously, which speeds things up. This is a space-separated list of
DISTRO names, but additionally, supports:
* `debian-py3`: when generating Ansible inventory file, set
`ansible_python_interpreter` to `python3`, i.e. run a test where the
target interpreter is Python 3.
* `debian*16`: generate 16 Docker containers running Debian. Also works
with -py3.
