THIS REPO IS COMPLETELY OUT OF DATE AND REFLECTS MY KNOWLEGDE ABOUT CMAKE FROM SOME YEARS AGO

Please read Craig Scott's "Professional CMake: A Practical Guide" instead of trying to find answers here.

TravisCI: CircleCI:

Continuous Integration Demo

This project serves as an example for

• how to use CMake for a C++14 project
• how to use Google Test for a C++14 project
• how to use the Catch Unit Test Framework
• how to configure Travis CI
• how to configure Circle CI
  • Some parts use a Docker image to shorten setup time during test runs
• how to configure CMake/CPack to create a Debian package and source packages

Make a Duplicate

If you want to use this code in your own project, please follow the advice on how to make a duplicate. In short:

git clone --bare https://github.com/daixtrose/continuous-integration-demo.git
cd continuous-integration-demo.git
git push --mirror https://github.com/youraccount/new-repository.git

Do not forget to change the links to the build status icons on the top of README.md!

Some Comments

Download of External Projects via CMake

• This repo makes use of the CMake module DownloadProject in order to download and build Google Test on the fly

About TravisCI

• Hint: TravisCI can additionally be configured not to run on commits in branches unless those are under a pull request
• Caveats: Travis CI only knows the status build passing or build failing, but this is misleading: A build failure is even reported in case the build succeeds and one single unit test fails. So I consider Travis CI to be a Continuous Deployment environment in the first place - with CI capability, of course.
• Comment: IMHO the C++ integration is somewhat tricky. At the time of this writing (August 2017) Travis uses Ubuntu-14.04 (not version 16.04 or higher) which adds extra headache with regard to the available CMake version. See how others are installing a newer version of CMake before going on with the build.
