Travis-CI Auto-Tag Build for GitHub Release

RlonRyan

I have been attempting to have Travis-CI automatically post its build product on GitHub Releases whenever a commit is pushed to [master].

Unfortunately, GitHub Releases requires a tag to release with. As a solution, I attempted to have Travis automatically generate and apply a tag to the commit. However, every time Travis updates the repository, it causes the release to fail.

As such, what am I doing wrong with my current setup and|or is there a way to do what I have described.

My travis.yml:

language: java
before_install: chmod +x gradlew
install: true
matrix:
  include:
  - jdk: oraclejdk8
script: ./gradlew build
before_deploy:
  - git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
  - git config --global user.name "Travis CI"
  - export GIT_TAG=$TRAVIS_BRANCH-0.1.$TRAVIS_BUILD_NUMBER
  - git tag $GIT_TAG -a -m "Generated tag from TravisCI for build $TRAVIS_BUILD_NUMBER"
  - git push -q https://[email protected]/RlonRyan/JBasicX --tags
deploy:
  skip_cleanup: true
  provider: releases
  api_key:
    secure: [redacted]
  file:
    - "build/libs"
    - "build/classes/test/output"
  on:
    tags: false
    all_branches: true
env:
  global:
    secure: [redacted]

failed to deploy

There was nothing wrong with the concept, just the files being deployed.

The files that were meant to be deployed were not listed properly in the .travis.yml, and the gradle build task was not generating the proper .zip files.

Here is the updated .travis.yml:

language: java
install: true
matrix:
  include:
  - jdk: oraclejdk8
script:
  - gradle clean build
  - gradle dist
before_deploy:
  - git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
  - git config --global user.name "Travis CI"
  - export GIT_TAG=$TRAVIS_BRANCH-0.1.$TRAVIS_BUILD_NUMBER
  - git tag $GIT_TAG -a -m "Generated tag from TravisCI for build $TRAVIS_BUILD_NUMBER"
  - git push -q https://[email protected]/RlonRyan/JBasicX --tags
  - ls -R
deploy:
  skip_cleanup: true
  provider: releases
  api_key:
    secure: [redacted]
  file:
    - "README.md"
    - "dist/JBasicX-Main-0.1.0.zip"
    - "dist/JBasicX-Test Output-0.1.0.zip"
  on:
    tags: false
    all_branches: true
env:
  global:
    secure: [redacted]

Note, the way this build is setup, Travis will run twice for every commit, but only deploy the 1st time. Such may be worth further investigation in how to avoid.

Also, beware when improperly implemented, that is deploy.on:tags = true, an infinite Travis-CI build loop is created. Such a result is not easy to clean up, and most noticeable in Travis due to the inability to delete build history.

Edit: The solution to the duplicated builds lies in the way Travis-CI treats tag pushes as commits. The trick to avoid this was found by @o11c on GitHub for Travis-CI issue #1532. Basically, what one needs to do is exclude branches with the tag antecedent.

In .travis.yml this amounts to adding the following:

branches:
  except:
    - /^*-v[0-9]/

For posterity the final .travis.yml amounts to:

language: java

install: true

matrix:
  include:
  - jdk: oraclejdk8

script:
  - gradle clean build
  - gradle dist

before_deploy:
  - git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

  - export GIT_TAG=$TRAVIS_BRANCH-0.1.$TRAVIS_BUILD_NUMBER
  - git tag $GIT_TAG -a -m "Generated tag from TravisCI for build $TRAVIS_BUILD_NUMBER"
  - git push -q https://[email protected]/RlonRyan/JBasicX --tags
  - ls -R

  skip_cleanup: true

    - "dist/JBasicX-Test Output-0.1.0.zip"
