Setting up automatic builds/tests with Travis CI about chiantipy HOT 9 CLOSED

OK, my local code now seems to be up-to-date and I can build the docs and the mathjax stuff shows up OK.
I will next continue with docs for the ion class

@kdere Yes, in my experience configuring a Travis build is just a matter of adding the .travis.yml file to the repo. Since this is just a single file in the top level directory, it should not conflict with anything you're working on.

@Cadair Oh yes I've learned this the hard way. Recently tried to install scipy on Travis with pip...it did not end well. Then I discovered the magic of ci-helpers.

Yes this will configure a GitHub webhook to allow Travis to know when commits happen on a given repo so it can trigger the appropriate process at each commit, either at every branch or at only those branches that you whitelist.

I've had some experience setting up Travis for a couple of different repos (it is very easy) so I can take a look at this in next day or so. For now, we can just run setup.py to make sure the install is at least not broken. As long as you "switch on" the chianti-atomic/ChiantiPy repo, its just a matter of adding a .travis.yml file to the repo.

Later on, once some tests get written for different parts of the package, these will be very easy to integrate right into the CI build process so that all tests are run at each commit as well

drive by recommendation, you want this: https://github.com/astropy/ci-helpers

I looked at some of the travis web pages and the setup up looked like more than I wanted to take on, such as installing postgres - well, by itself that is not hard to do.
If it is just as simple as a .travis.yml file, that is fine.
I am in the process of fixing my last pull request. Hope to finish that this morning - not the only thing on my schedule. Then I will let you go ahead with travis, If they don't conflict, please proceed at your leasure.

I merged the pull request.
I will be on vacation starting next week for 3 weeks or so.

Thanks @kdere. Enjoy your vacation.

Did you enable the build on travis-ci.org? When I go to the chianti-atomic/ChiantiPy page, it says it is not an active repository.

I think I enabled the build on travis. Clicked on the build button on ChiantiPy. Let me know by Tuesday what you think.

Everything looks good! Thanks. Closing this issue for now since the initial Travis build has been set up.
