A dead simple heroku ready travis daily sceduler

Travis CI has now long been supporting its own version of Cron Jobs. There is no use for this tool anymore.

https://nightli.es/ is an independent service that the travis team suggests using. I switched to this one myself, and am not intending to maintain daily-travis from now on.

• Clone this repo locally

git clone https://github.com/philou/daily-travis.git

• If you don't have it yet, install the heroku toolbelt

• Create an heroku app to deploy to

heroku apps:create <my-lib>-daily-travis

• Deploy to heroku

git push heroku master

• Generate a github token

Explanations are here. Default authorizations are fine. Note the token somewhere.

• Add the parameters to your heroku app

heroku config:add TRAVIS_REPOSITORY=<github-user>/<github-repo>
heroku config:add GITHUB_TOKEN=<github-token>

• Test that the latest build is restarted by manually running

heroku run rake build

• Add the scheduler to your heroku app

heroku addons:add scheduler:standard
heroku addons:open scheduler

• Add the task rake build to your heroku scheduler

• https://nightli.es/ is an independent service that the travis team suggests using
• The travis-cron web app and git repo. Which is manually moderated.
