Jenkins lets you run anything. A job can literally consist purely of a series of shell commands that must all return 0 in order for the build to succeed. So, as long as the software you need is installed on the machine Jenkins (or a slave) is running on, you can run it in builds.

With Jenkins you can run any shell script. So I wrote a shell script that downloads and install dmd and continue. Probably that can be simplified using dvm.

It is. It's amazing how much you can automate these days for free.

Oh, I see :(. I thought it looked fairly empty for a public service.

I read your other post now, I thought it was a public service. Where you don't necessarily control the machines.

Yes, Travis is indeed a great service. We use it for LDC CI and pull request testing (sadly, it is x86_32 only right now, but apparently the platform is supposed to be moved to 64 bit machines soon).

Well, »it doesn't support D« is true in that there is no built-in support for it, but you are allowed to install arbitrary software on the system as part of your installation scripts (for example, the LDC pre-build hooks install LLVM and libconfig++). The most straightforward way would be to set up an Ubuntu PPA containing the DMD/GDC/LDC versions you need. But it would probably be a wise idea to coordinate with the Travis guys anyway, to avoid that suddenly some two hundred D projects all pull in the same packages from a server not in the Travis network…

I'd try to approach the Travis people in #travis on FreeNode – from my experience, they are quite responsive there. Also note that all of Travis is open source, so I'm sure the process would be much quicker if there was an actual patch adding D support to discuss.

Ok, I didn't know you could do that.

Absolutely, I just don't have any idea how I would add support for a new language, that's partly why I created the issue. The IRC channel seems like a good idea, thanks.

Hello d community,

i started programming with D yesterday and from some scala play project
know travis ci and love it. So i write a little .travis,yml file for a simple vibe.d project on github (https://github.com/pussinboots/dfirstweb) .

Maybe it gives you the impression back and for all they start with D travis
ci is a very powerful contenious integration tool also when it comes to continous deployment with heroku.

The next day i will try to get run a D project on heroku, maybe it is possible like build D with travis ci (https://travis-ci.org/pussinboots/dfirstweb).

nice day and have fun with D

Hello! There's some related discussion going on about this in http://forum.dlang.org/thread/axhtisdbckvajqcgazbu@forum.dlang.org

One problem is that the existing dmd release is huge and the apt package will drag in gcc-multilib which is even bigger.
So for now I used ldc.

I learned myself that you can use any language, it's just a matter of what's installed by default.

They've added some initial support now: https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-cookbooks/commit/01e725208a755508529eec28f074f6bbef6c319f
