Using Multiple Operating Systems with Ruby and Shell in a Matrix with Travis CI
To configure a matrix in Travis CI to test your Ruby and Shell scripts across multiple operating systems, you can use the following steps:
Set up your project and create a
.travis.yml
file in the root directory.Define the matrix of operating systems and environments you want to test. For example, to test on Linux, macOS, and Windows, you can use the following configuration:
yamlos:
- linux
- osx
- windows
Specify the Ruby version for each operating system using the
rvm
key. You can set it to a specific version or use the default version for each operating system:yamlrvm:
- 2.7.4 # for Linux
- system # for macOS
- 2.7.4-x64 # for Windows
Adjust the Ruby versions according to your requirements.
Define the script to be executed in the
script
section. This can include running Ruby tests or executing shell scripts:yamlscript:
- ruby my_ruby_script.rb
- sh my_shell_script.sh
Replace
my_ruby_script.rb
with the actual filename of your Ruby script, andmy_shell_script.sh
with the actual filename of your shell script.Customize the matrix options further if needed. For example, you can specify any additional environment variables, install dependencies, or configure specific behavior for each operating system.
Commit and push the
.travis.yml
file to your Git repository.
Travis CI will automatically run your tests on the specified operating systems and Ruby versions defined in the matrix. Each job in the matrix will execute the defined script for the respective operating system and Ruby version.
By utilizing a matrix in your Travis CI configuration, you can test your Ruby and Shell scripts across multiple operating systems simultaneously, ensuring compatibility and identifying any platform-specific issues.
