Hey Mark, it is really great to see you are working in this direction, thx!
Here are my additional notes
I think we should have discussion in two directions here:
1. Decide what we want to run as test for each repo
2. Particular service/implementation details
As for 1:
a) LIB, CLI: I propose to run unit tests via 'npm test' for cordova-lib,
cordova-cli, cordova-plugman (btw, I don't see plugman tests so not sure we
have them)
It seems, that Mark is on the same page.
b) PLATFORMS: for the platforms I propose to start from implementing simple e2e
test with the following steps (written in nodejs):
- install cordova-cli (apache/master?)
- create test app
- add platform
- build
* as a long term goal we may want to move this to npm tests (but include to
special group which can be run with additional flag since I don't think we
should run this along with general unit tests )
As for 2:
If we want unified build platform across all repos it seems that Wercker and
Appveyor are the only good options due to windows support required. Both looks
good to me, but I need to double check Wercker supports VS2013 (msbuild12)
since it requires to build cordova-windows (will investigate and respond). I
also think is that Travic-CI is the most safe option for other platforms/repos
since they already proved to be a good solution for many open source companies.
Thx!
Sergey

Oops, sorry, didn't look at the links before sending another link to AppVeyor.
Why not to use AppVeyor for lib and cli too? We could definitely use some
testing on windows.
I also experimented with Wercker <http://wercker.com/> which is yet another
free CI service.
Added it to a branch in my fork of cordova-lib. You can see a badge with build
results here in README:
https://github.com/kamrik/cordova-lib/tree/wercker
I never used Travis CI, but from description looks like Wercker is a bit more
flexible with environment setup and they even offer a predefined environment
for building Android apps
<http://devcenter.wercker.com/articles/languages/android.html> so maybe we can
use it to run a test that goes all the way to building an apk. They say
<http://devcenter.wercker.com/articles/bestpractices/pullrequests.html>
they support checking pull requests too.
What do you think?
That said, I'm not particularly attached to any specific CI service, any of
them would be very helpful.
