I wrote a simple script in Python.
Now I would like travis to check my code. After travis was successful, the version number should get increased.
Up to now my script has no version number yet. I can store it anywhere where it makes sense for the auto-increment workflow.
How to do this for Python code?
It works now:
Unfortunately travis does not support "after-all". This means if I want to run the tests for several Python versions, I have no way to bumpversion after the tests of all python versions were successful.
In my case I will check on Python2.7 only until travis resolved this issue: https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/929
Here is my simple script: https://github.com/guettli/compare-with-remote
It works now:
twine.I explain the way I do CI with github, travis and pypi here: https://github.com/guettli/github-travis-bumpversion-pypi
If you accept having extra commit for your versioning, you could add this script in continuous_integration/increment_version.py
import os
import pkg_resources
if __name__ == "__main__":
version = pkg_resources.get_distribution("compare_with_remote").version
split_version = version.split('.')
try:
split_version[-1] = str(int(split_version[-1]) + 1)
except ValueError:
# do something about the letters in the last field of version
pass
new_version = '.'.join(split_version)
os.system("sed -i \"s/version='[0-9.]\+'/version='{}'/\" setup.py"
.format(new_version))
os.system("git add -u")
os.system("git commit -m '[ci skip] Increase version to {}'"
.format(new_version))
os.system("git push")
And change your .travis.yml to
after_success:
- python continuous_integration/increment_version.py
I am not sure about how to make the git push part work as it need some testing with the repo rights but I assume that you could probably setup something to allow travis to push in your repo. you could look into that post for instance.
Also note that I used python to perform the git operations but they can be added as extra line in the after_success field:
after_success:
- python continuous_integration/increment_version.py
- git add -u
- git commit -m "[ci skip] version changed"
- git push
I just find it convenient to put the version number in the commit msg.
Also, it is very important to add [ci skip] in the commit message to avoid infinite increment. Maybe it would be safer to trigger the version change on a specific commit msg tag.
Not Python-specific, but this tutorial explains auto-incrementing version numbers by adding .travis.yaml entries which update git tags with each successful build. It seems like a good balance between manual and auto-versioning.
While the tutorial does use npm's package.json for the initial version-check, you could implement a simple equivalent (in Python or otherwise).
Assuming that,
the package is always installed with pip from a git repo using, for instance,
pip install git+https://github.com/user/package.git
For auto-incrementing version number, one could simply define the version as the number of commits in the master branch. This can be done with the following lines in setup.py,
minor_version = check_output(['git', 'rev-list',
'--count', 'master']).decode('latin-1').strip()
setup(version='0.{}'.format(minor_version), ...)
